Really like the weathering on this, grimey everywhere, but not over done. I particularly like the draped rain sheet on the tender, it hangs very naturally. Excellent stuff!

This is such a beautiful model and the presentation is excellent.

 

Like Dave says the tarp draped on the tender adds to the effect and is refelective of photos seen of the class in Norkolk/Suffolk.

 

The question is how long do we have to wait for a ready-to-run 4mm version of a J15? Best try to finish that Nu-Cast one off!

 

Brilliant stuff!

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated. J15s are a bit of a staple at the moment and two more are progressing through the works at the moment- an Essex pair that found work on the Brightlingsea branch, numbers 65432 with a tender cab and 65448 one of the bog-standard Westo braked variety.

Truly stunning - captures the feel of the East Anglian byways perfectly! It also reminds me to get in touch with David Eveleigh again to get one of his 2mm etches for a J15 (and also to get a few other projects finished first!)

So subtle, yet so superb. Glad to see you're still at it :-)

Hullo stranger - you've been a bit quiet of late; good to see you back again
