Lovely Jubbly! Nice to see Bernard is developing some etches for the refurb grills too - opens up a lot more possibilities!
Out of interest, how have you attached the ploughs to the buffer beams, or are they bogie mounted, like was neccessary with Farish of old
-
Looking good Steve - a couple of questions though if I may.
What is this SLS/SLA material - who is doing it? Presumably it gives a better finish than the standard Shapeways materials. Also, how does the cost compare with the other materials? I'd be interested in investigating these

That's the one
I don't know how much tractorage will occur tomorrow as I'm planning to go fotting, but if nowt else hopefully underframe and plough painting will progress. I did read about Pixie lowering his 37, though looking at the model there doesn't appear to be an easy way to it, unlike with the 47. I may try moving the sideframes up a little to compromise. I've also got a DRS 37 to do, so an easy method of lowering would be interesting...
Re the weathering, I don't know where to go next really, because one minute I think it looks ok so far, the next it just shouts out "crude, crude, crude", especially the tide mark on the nose. Will have a look in the morning

Hi Steve, good to catch up with where you're up to with the 3D modelling. Despite being kettles, they look like some interesting projects, and keeping an eye on this may help me with some tank wagon projects and other round bits! Like Paul I'd be interested in what software you are using, I've just started trying to teach myself Blender. Very steep learning curve, nothing of worth created yet...

Cheers Pete. Got to get some stuff sorted today, but will hopefully get a decent afternoon of modelling in today, along with suitable updates.

Thanks guys! good to know there's more than one way if I do mess it up! I think a trip to buy some paint is a little overdue
I just love the greasy look to the rods you've achieved on the 09 Martin - perfect to try and aim for on my EWS livery gronk
-
Hi Martin,
Stunning as usual! I'm watching closely as I've got a couple of gronks to do. For some reason I just don't seem to be able to get up the will to do them - I think it's the underframe weathering. I can cope with the fading ok, just, but there is something about that greasy look. Perhaps this is the kick up the backside to get at least one of them back in the paintshop, and hope the techniques scale well :-)

David, that looks great. It's really good to see some more pictures of the finished layout, and it sure does give you a nice scene for photographing new models. The 150 sure is a stunner, I've just taken delivery of a Reggie 150/2 and I'm wowed by the detail. Nice 92 btw, maybe one day for me...
cheers
