The Nth Degree Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hello Ian, I'll be picking up the next batch of samples on the 11th, so I hope to put up some pics not long after. I'm hoping these will be the last samples required so production can finally start. Fingers crossed! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted January 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 10, 2018 Why not? Because it limits what people can see. Facebook blocked when I am at work for example... Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgood Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Why not? If I knew the answer to my question, I would probably be able to answer your question Note the phrase "..for Group members" has been added to the post since I commented. Had those words been there earlier, perhaps I would not have asked the question - I could now imagine it might be a reward for those group members who may have been actively involved in the development of the model or supported the project in some way. I was confident enough in the manufacturer and product to place an order without the picture - maybe some others would benefit from additional promotional material such as this picture before committing? Which can only help sales? Or am I missing something? There are plenty of dinosaurs like me out there still.

The Nth Degree Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 It was only a tiny snippet to tease, certainly not a full image. The model will be going in the factory tomorrow to start tooling. I'm away all weekend, but when I get back I'll make an official announcement in glorious full colour. I hope you all love as much as I do. It's certainly taken a lot out of Nikki and I designing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a member, and there's absolutely no reason that I would reject anyone who wanted to join, you'll be able to see it as the second post down in the group.

I had a look-as an occassional FB user and I couldnt find it (unless it was the motor-bogie CAD, which I thought Id seen before?), I always find that with FB, one cant see the wood for the trees!

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted January 11, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2018 Forgive me asking what may be a stupid question, but when you’re at work, aren’t you supposed to, um, work? Shouldn't that have been "Forgive me trotting out the same old statement?" Seriously, I have breaks (as do most people) but most of the time I am working at secure sites where the internet access is very limited and, at quite a few, mobile phones are not allowed. So, whilst I can view the likes of RMWeb, facebook, youtube, twitter etc. are not allowed and the hassle/time for getting off-site to use a phone makes it not worth the effort.

Wolf27 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The LLC class 15. It was never on my list of 'wants' but an opportunity to buy one at a knockdown price was too good to miss, even if it wasn't the desired livery, but never one to shy away from doing some modelling, I rectified that over the Christmas hols. The only choice available was the as built all over green, but as I have no need for one like this it had to change Untitled by Shane Wilton, on Flickr I really like the late green with full yellow ends livery, so thats what it became. Untitled by Shane Wilton, on Flickr Untitled by Shane Wilton, on Flickr With a couple of weathered Dapol Hybar wagons, which are also very nice.

Untitled by Shane Wilton, on Flickr cheers Shane Hi Shane, VERY nice indeed! Can you tell me-as even after too many years of model making, especially some modern paints-as yellow always seems to fight me, did you use a white primer and then multiple topcoats? And which/whos brand of warning yellow did you use? Thanks, with kind regards, CME Edited January 14, 2018 by CME and Bottlewasher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untitled by Shane Wilton, on Flickr cheers Shane Thanks Shane, I like Halfords primers and some of the hard to get Tamiya sprays too. I have a local model-shop who has Prescision paints now and IIRC I understand that the ingredients are set to change (dont quote me though), may I ask how may coats the yellow took? Was it from a rattle can or by airbrush? I have yet to try their yellow. Thanks again, Kindest, CME Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This was applied by airbrush, think it only took one coat. cheers Shane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
