RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted August 24, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2016 Great work Ian, I think I used to see them at Fareham and also done at Limington. Thanks Andy I'm sure you saw them at Fareham but at Lymington it was probably a similar looking 2-HAP or 2-EPB electric you saw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found them! The three kits that have been in storage for a year made it to the workbench this last few days. Closer view of one of the three. The original acquired from pitbull (Scott). The kits go together quite easily really but not until much cleaning up of flash and moulding lines with a file is carried out. They all need a bit of filling and general fetling before the paintshop beckons but all being well they may debut at the Uckfield show in October albeit without a load by then, I may even order another couple as well!

rob D2 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Warflats look good. I've got two to do, but I keep getting them out, filing a bit and putting them away - think I need some serious winter darkness to concentrate on them. And then there's th scimitars to build 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted September 1, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2016 You not doing Shenfield now Ian? I'm afraid not Martin I was struggling for help and the chances were that we would be moving house that week as well so I decided to pull out early rather than let them down late. I think Darren will be waving the NSE flag with Croydon instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to pop along and see Croydon instead, but it looks familiar somehow, like I've seen it before. Déjà vu 'n' all that... Good luck with the house move btw.

RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted September 26, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Evening all Recent workbench progress has been mainly of a military nature. The warflats have been painted and just require decals before permanently attaching the bogies and a final weathering. The loads can then be attached and further details added, probably after they appear as a work in progress at Uckfield. However I thought a few pics might be in order in the current state. Two views of the warflats with the Scorpions and Land Rovers that have now had a first coat of paint. Closer view of the resin moulded Scorpions from S and S models. Hopefully this coming weekend I will put the layout up in the conservatory to carry out some works before Uckfield, but also in preparation for the visit of RMweb royalty from down under on October 12th!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 26, 2016 Better get on with the transfers then the warflats artwork is ready just need to add some more numbers. I've got a few other projects to add to the sheet though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi Ian, just catching up on your thread, first of all, excellent work on the Thumper, first class modelling. Now, I do really like your Warflats but even more so, the vehicles! Good old service issue Land Rovers! I look forward to seeing photos of them in service behind some suitable traction!

Hi Alex Thanks very much for your comments, if you are 'in the know' should the Land Rovers have the spare on the bonnet do you know? They have been repainted from standard Oxford models but don't have the spare and I was thinking of getting another to use it's wheels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
