Redgate's Modelling

Ian while you have the buffers off don't forget to file the nipple off the end of the buffers.

 

looking very good.

Good point Pete - I've got to clean them up of surface rust first anyway

oh, and the brake pull rods are now red too Pete

Nice work Ian, I remember seeing this in the flesh at the Members day, its come a long really nicely.

Nicely done, Ian.

 

One question: The rivets on the solebars look like 'innies', not 'outies'. Is that a trick of the light?

Well spotted Buckjumper - my mistake and a reflection on how few "scratch aid" kits I have built - I didn't realise I was supposed to punch them through from behind though the half etch and basically built the chassis inside out (including the buffer beams)

 

By the time I realised it was far too late. Next time

Not too late to drill them out and glue in some stubs of blackened brass rod...

 

...just kidding!

Nice Model ian.

You could use the inny rivets to spot some quick set araldite in using a tooth pick or something similar.

 

Cheers
