Afternoon.

 

A few photos taken this afternoon of bits I've been working on.

 

Here's the Model Rail Sentinel weathered and completed on my photo plank. Nameplates by the excellent 'Narrow Planet'

The wagon behind is a Cambrian kit and builds up very nicely as an internal user.

I've all most finished the Hunslet/J94. Needs final weathering and the Hunslet works plate from NP. I'll post some photos when I've finished it.

 

Here's something totally different. I couldn't resist getting one of the recent Dapol 7mm scale wagon releases, especially as they'd chosen an S&L prototype too.

 

Out of the box it does look nice-if a little toy like. Anyway, out came the paints and airbrush and this is where I'm at. It needs some underframe dirt misting on to the chassis and a bit of detail weathering added and should be finished soon. Again I'll post a few pics when it's done. Not sure whether to do it as an internal user too with a few black patches and number on the side?

Out of interest what is the three link coupling made from. Tried Carrs nickle silver blackener to no avail. Are they stainless?

 

This wagon may become part of a long term 7mm scale micro-layout based around the Northamptonshire ironstone industry. Hmmmm! That Ixion Hudswell Clarke does look good. :)

 

Cheers,

First class weathering as usual Mark.

 

Thanks Robin.

 

I like the effects on the 4mm stuff but with that 7mm Dapol wagon the weathering certainly brings out the detail.

 

Just need to get on with something to run them on.

 

Cheers,

Nice work Mark

 

That sentinel looks very at home on that plank.

 

Some nice weathering to boot...pitched about right (IMHO)

 

As for 7mm...you have been warned :no:

Yes... definitely a slippery slope there.

 

Nice job on the Sentinel.

Yes, I'm really pleased with the Sentinel. She's come up nicely.

 

As for 7mm can I can see the addiction with this scale but one loco and a few wagons! Not yet though!!!! :)
