Underframe progress with 59004

Over the last two afternoons I've had a bit of fun knocking together the underframe for 59004. The finishing of the shell I've covered on old RMweb, and in a previous blog entry, and it's in this state that the model has sat since the last November or so. I had an urge to crack on with the underframe yesterday, so had to get on with it! Here are some piccies to illustrate where I'm up to, I'm not sure if I want to prime it, as that'll only show up all the slips and shortcuts even more!

Bits I can think of that may not be clear, bogie frames are from BH Enterprises, orange bits are Capri Sun drinks straw, fuel tank is Farish as it's a better shape and yes, I know the sideframes sid a bit low, but I'm happy with them at the moment. Needless to say, I'll probably decide they need moving after it's painted and weathered...

Hopefully the detail shots of the real thing illustrate what each piece is meant to be, how crudely much of it is represented, and how much has been left off.

They're pulled from here, http://joalder.fotopic.net/c1534446.html which has plenty of class 59 detail shots

Thanks James - like I said, paint could go either way! Mind you, the wire battery isolator switch I fitted will be worth it once painted red laugh.gif

I thought I was mad going for the level of detail that I did in 4mm and here you are doing the same thing in 2mm! :blink:

 

Very impressive B) B)

Tbh I haven't got any wire fine enough to add all the bits I wanted to. Some bits of the chassis look very bland at the mo - I may have to see what treats Hobbycraft can offer, I think some of the jewellery wire is very fine
