westerner Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I seem to remember that in the last year or so there was an article about adding the wires to Bachmann's fishing boat. It may have been by Chris Leigh for his Cornish harbour. Does anybody else remember it. If so which issue and could anyone please PM a scan of the finished model to me, it would be most appreciated. Thanks in anticipation of your replies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in anticipation of your replies. Sorry, not guilty. Might have been Peter Marriott, as he has had some close dealings with Bachmann on the scenic side. my Cornish harbour boats are mainly Harburn Hamlet items.

westerner Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just out of interest does anyone know which issue it was in or have I got the wrong magazine. If I have, does someone know which magazine it was in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisspeat Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Chris is right. I am to blame for the piece. It appeared in Dec 2015 issue (number 216). It was a basic make over. Kind regards, Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerner Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks Peter I must try and get a copy to see what you've done. If you haven't seen my layout thread it will be that last boat to be placed in the harbour. Here's a photo of progress to date. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisspeat Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I do like your scene! The Bachmann boat is not exactly cheap but whose is! I think it took me a couple of hours to add some rust and other tweaks to the boat. I was very pleased with the final result. Here is a before and after pic plus the wharfside built for Bachmann display cabinet showing one with an out of the box boat and the other modified one just plonked on top of the water. Kind regards, Pete 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Bear Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Wonder if one could get something to look like nets in 4mm? Some on the boats and/or on the quayside, perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Wonder if one could get something to look like nets in 4mm? Some on the boats and/or on the quayside, perhaps? Pieces of fine nylon stocking look pretty good, rolled and glued in place and with some fine black or brown thread added. (CJL) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
