Nelson Jackson Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hello everyone, Not much done to the engine except it's primer coat has been applied, I've been stuck in bed all week with some sort of flu/fever so that's why. And to make things even better the tender dropped out of my hands taking off the steps and weight inside. Ah well. We learn from our mistakes I guess and from the primer coat it's easy to see what areas need to be improved before the black goes on.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi, Nelson. It's looking good, and the tender does not look too bad considering the drop that it has had. Hope you get well soon. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Jackson Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone!!!!!!! Blimey! After 10 weeks of no modelling and a ton of exams, I'm now free.....until August but shhhhhh, we shan't worry about that now last exam was today and 6 hours after It I finished these 2 wagons, they are ratio LMS coal wagons, 2 wagons came with the box and I built them at the same time. It's my first ratio wagon kit surprisingly enough and they are excellent, I mean wow, so good to put together, no fuss what so ever so well done to ratio! I might get some more haha. It's great to be modelling again, I have some projects in mind for the holidays but it's mainly whatever I pick up next, I will build Nelson. Edit: forgot to mention they need painting hahaha, I might do 1 in LMS NCC colours and the other as LNWR Edited June 12, 2015 by Nelson Jackson 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hi, Nelson. That's excellent work on those two LMS coal wagons from the Ratio kit. Look forward to seeing them painted. Keep up the good work. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I forgot to post pics of what my PG class currently looks like so here it is as it stands. Still a bit more to do, cab number, cab details and some tidy up, apologize for the poor picture quality, must be due to the low light.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hi, Nelson. What a lovely smooth and even paint finish on the GNRI PG class engine. It really is a most professional paint finish. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 plank will be in LMS and the 4 plank in LNWR livery. I fancied something a bit different livery wise, even if it probably wouldn't fall into my normal time frame (mid 30's) Edited June 14, 2015 by 57xx 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Jackson Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hello everyone! I've finished the 2 wagons, one NCC and the other LMS, I had fun weathering the former and I also finished this airfix king tiger, some modification but overall a lovely kit to build (apart from the tracks) Thanks, Nelson 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi, Nelson. What excellent weathering on the two wagons, it really is most realistic. The wood effect inside them looks incredibly real. Well done. The King Tiger tank has been very well built and painted, with some good subtle weathering effects. Looking forward to more. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrogate009 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 What paint did you use for the NCC one, nelson? Really does look like wood. P.S. Imagine what that paint work would look like on a narrow gauge wagon.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine what that paint work would look like on a narrow gauge wagon.... Hello! All my stuff is painted with humbrol enamels, and the wood is painted using 3 different colours mixed and dry brushed followed with a brown/grey wash.

Nelson Jackson Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hello everyone, The newest wagon out of the works is this BCDR open wagon which will be done in UTA PW colours. Nelson 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 1, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi, Nelson. That BCDR wagon which you have just finished building is yet another work of art. Everything looks very straight and true that should be, and there appears to be no rough edges. I just find myself wondering about the brake lever, but it is very easy to fix if it should not be like that on this particular diagram of wagon. I look forward to seeing it painted and weathered.

Nelson Jackson Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thank you very much everyone for your comments ^^ I appreciate them. Here's the completed wagon, it should have more lettering but my transfer sheet is knackered so I must get round to buying a new one haha. Seen here in the UTA short lived PW livery. Thanks Nelson 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hi, Nelson. Outstanding painting and weathering. It really is most realistic. I also like the way you have placed the load of ballast in the wagon - very prototypical. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD0-6-0 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Marvellous truly marvellous, makes me want to have a go, I've found some wagon diagrams on eBay that I could follow but I couldn't make one as good as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
