Van Tastic! Dapol Van builds continued...

Bit more progression on my Dapol van body builds over the past few days. 

 

Vans...

 

Vans...

Transfers have been sourced from the excellent range by John Isherwood at Cambridge Custom Transfers. They were sealed with Johnson's Kleer floor polish. 

 

Vans...

 

The tie bars are 1mm 'L' shaped brass strip from Eileen's Emporium. 

 

Vans...

 

Weathering so far as consisted of a wash of Valejo acrylics left to dry then wiped off with a damp cotton bud. Some detail painting and distressing with a glass fibre brush to follow. 

 

Then BOCM wagon posters from Hollar Models were added to the sides. 

 

Vans...

 

I need to finish the weathering with a dusting of track colour from the trusty airbrush for the underframes and a blast of roof dirt.

 

Vacuum pipes and couplings to finish. 

 

Cheers, 

 

Mark

Very nice work Mark and good to see you back posting :good:

 

Tell us more about the photo plank...Is that a turnout I see in the background? ;)

 

Are you sure this is not an extract of a new layout simmering away on the back burner? :D

Thanks Pete, 

 

The photo plank has been around for a few years now. It never had a backscene so with some old hardboard and a photographic backscene mounted with 3M photo mount it has now been completed. 

 

It certainly looks better for it :D

 

Cheers,
