Jon020 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Good to catch up with the thread Jon and to see that you're still carrying on with 4mm and not just 7mm; all looks great. I really must stay on here more as I've drifted a little to concentrate on the other forum (committee commitments purely making me feel compelled to do so) - so time limited has left me away from here, but good to see the work again. If you're at Stoke Mandeville this weekend, please say "Hi" - I'll be on duty all weekend somewhere Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43179 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Good afternoon - a long overdue update - I've been here there and everywhere recently - Sorry I missed you at Scaleforum Jon - however your handywork in the display cabinet was much easier to spot! Some very nice small layouts this year- Nice to see Fryers lane in real life after following it on here. Mrs 43179 enjoyed Scaleforum too - I think Clecklewyke was her fave though with the nice old canal /lock something that's very close to our hearts. We also went to Bruntingthorpe for the Cold war Jets day - brilliant day if you like big boys toys - after seeing and hearing and feeling these things in action , seeing them sitting quietly in a museum just isn't the same. Mrs434179 likes the VC10 - shes got good taste Some Trains - at the moment I'm putting transfers on the silver 67 - here a quick shot of on side done, with the accompanying DVT - the latter has just had its buffers sprayed silver and the light clusters painted black , otherwise its perfect - Hornby did a great job of it. Also building a 7mm class 122 - this is an Easybuild kit and I've really enjoyed it - the instructions are particularly good , with a CD full of reference photos included Finally an RJH class 59 kit - and old kit , but not bad - it pays to research these a little online before building , as following the order of the instructions can cause problems , particularly with fitting the bulkheads into the bodyshell. Build the chassis first is rule no1 with this kit! More on this later tfn Jon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandrover Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Love the detailing work. Also loving the aircraft pictures especially those from Bruntingthorpe, I used to work on the L1011's that are stored there, also flew all over the world in the too! Keep up the good work and hope to see some more posts soon Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hi Jon, Any recent updates with the workbench or Laira and did you ever get round to finishing that St Blazey brake van? I have a need to model a couple myself but struggling to find ID's from photos. I've found a photo of one at Marsh Mills so that will have to do for now.

Southwich Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Absolutely loved reading this thread Jon @43179 - the 37s have been particularly inspirational to my P4 tractors I’m tarting up. Have you made any further progress on any stock or your superb layout? I think I remember seeing it with my dad at Scaleforum, I forget the year. Absolutely superb modelling! Hopefully you’re still progressing with some P4 bits as your modelling is top class! Kind regards, Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
