When I saw heavy tank I was rather hoping for a GWR 72xx class....

 

Roughly half the weight of a 72xx Comrade Robin - sounds like you need to be sent the trans-Siberian Railway... ;)

So it's been a busy 11 days..

 

Another kit started - I will do  a blog entry..

 

P47D_13.jpg.091977f858aea03594d1ba0884a554d0.jpg

 

A few new arrivals

 

All the way from Oz

 

Nelson_27.jpg.b80f62709474845dd218dda7f106ca35.jpg

 

 

Yep another Russian Tank (the Mr Metal Primer is overrated)

Other projects in P4 - more on those later.

Plus some Hornby carriages..

 

Plus the Shackleton MR.3..

Decals were an absolute swine, but I've got enough material for at least 2 more blog entries on her so far.

I'm happy for you to do a full reveal here of the LMS 8F James so you can take full credit for your work. Those on ANTB won't mind waiting.:P

Well, I've been good and kept a lot off this thread..

 

Robin's @gwrrob's - bargain 8F arrived last week. Ran beautifully, missing a wind deflector and no front steps (and none to be had anywhere - trust me Robin & I tried) - so I got creative ;)

Here's part 1 of a bumper update on that part..

 

Coaches - 2 more Colletts and my 7th Wartime Clerestory..

"Can you guess what I am building?". Yes. It is a Universal Carrier MkII or III. Don't know what scale, but looks like 1/76. I have an incomplete one in my to finish drawer.

 

Top modelling as ever, best wishes,

The four road engine shed is back on the bench and get ready for some butchery..

 

Bullhead flexi-track cut into length & some marking out for some material removal..

 

engineShed_19.jpg.935abc420dd8ddc9b007bce0a8fe91e0.jpg

 

Sub-floor marked out and holes drilled, plus magnets installed.

 

engineShed_20.jpg.bef48841846b167dca3d4c998b91f9aa.jpg

 

It all links up ;) 

 

engineShed_22.jpg.cf27eca1ddbaf70686f6d63a935f0e69.jpg

 

Masked up and ready for the Jigsaw..

Turn away now, butchery in progress :O 

 

engineShed_23.jpg.8e39fa80f8f19cf0d36f2309a746a108.jpg

 

All cut out and another couple of mods ;)

Roughly fitting the track..

Someone told my client, you could get 3 pannier's or 2 tender engines on each track(road) inside the shed -erm no...

Hijacking this thread for a moment...:pleasantry:

State of play so far:

534262926_AirfixUniversalcarrierbogiepoints.jpg.7c406dfca4f7c77d28e3df8f94593c61.jpg20200504_175803.jpg.8e3f1b87039618435e3961d5a040a97c.jpg1687275120_AirfixUniversalcarrier28.jpg.acfd305a6b4deb62eaf611dd7de2e53b.jpg20200506_212044.jpg.a83ed5eaa4c315820f6c64a89c0b8909.jpg

 

Added various details, as for example an driving axle & exhaust system, rebuilt the running gear, thinned down all the armour plates. Still more to add to the interior. Currently the carrier is on hold, as I'm waiting for the new tracks to arrive.  (the tracks in the photograph were temporally taken from another kit in my stash).
