something different

[moore43grm]

What started out as an Airfix /GMR Shell tanker wagon, a few bits from the scrap box, individually applied letters from a sheet of Model Master transfers and weathered to hide all the mistakes !  Idea taken from the photo on the cover of Bill Hudson's

Private Owner Wagons , The Oakwood Press.

 

The cruel close up shows a few blemishes, not least the still plastic finish to the underframe, the tank not quite sitting flush, and more importantly the not so straight lettering !

Another tank wagon conversion. This time from a Bachmann 14 ton tanker and idea from "Petroleum Rail Tank Wagons of Britain" by R.Tourret

I'm happy with the main body this time round ( lettering and weathering ), but still need to work more  on the underframe.

Continuing on with a Brookes theme, I went a bit OTT with the weathering on my latest tank wagon ,but I just had to ignore the fine print !

 

 

Sorry for the cruel close up.

Nothing new on the modelling front, but looking for a suitable background and track still to ballast.

A first foray into the world of using a silhouette-cut kit.

Have added additional /alternative etched brass and or white metal fittings from the "stock box of spares"
