RPNaylor0301 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Spent a few minutes stood next to the 1:1 scale 47727 the other morning - I'd say yours is a cracking representation 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted May 20, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2023 Thanks. She is one that had to be done. I like the details and bespoke things on all 3 of the GBRF 47’s. I also have a latest chassis loco to do as 47749 when I get round to it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun66 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Some great work, I have 59206 on order in Freightliner livery from the 2nd batch, no doubt it will have the same issues with the exhaust and nrm pods as the first batch. Just wish I had the courage to weather my own stock, it's something that really does need doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is less is more and recover anything unwanted whilst wet. Remember we all started by not having done it before. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick up a few cheap wagons and coaches and practice on those, its very satisfying when you create something which is unique to you. Study prototype photo's (never copy a model!) to see how the dirt builds, and the various colours involved 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s something I want to try and do, got a mate who’s willing to help me but it’s just finding the time and space to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted January 2 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2 (edited) An absolute age has passed on here with no update. I have been modelling on and off but not yet back up to full speed. I moved house and along with life, job, layout, family and taking apart my old layout at my brothers house my mojo wilted a little. It is slowly coming back now. Anyway some small bits I have completed. Finally completed my 67007 for myself. I half did it and then it sat for ages. Done now, weathered and looking pretty. Also completed another 2 homemade DB MXA wagons and finally built and painted a load for one of my warflats. Back soon with plenty more (it’s one of my resolutions so obviously a dead cert).

Shaun66 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Great to see you back at it, explains the quietness on Youtube, always enjoyed watching your running sessions. Can't wait to see more work soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted January 3 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3 YouTube action will reappear as soon as a layout spawns (basic plans are afoot). Thanks for your comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Nicely done . Those decals must have been a pain on the 67 ….what do you use for the tie down strops on the war flat ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted January 3 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3 Thanks Rob. The 67 decals were a bit of a pain but not as bad as you might think. They are precision decals ones and they do fold, bend and hold shape quite easily (much more so than the competition). Tie down strops are from scale model scenery. They do look the part.

RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted Wednesday at 16:18 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted Wednesday at 16:18 (edited) Work is happening at a woeful pace (I blame my new car). Anyway I have finished 47749 in GBRF BR Blue, this is a Bachmann plux 22 deluxe model and very nice it is too. I decided to upgrade from my 21 pin model which has allowed me to picture both 21 and 22 Bachmann models in the same livery. They compare well in looks but bogies especially and what’s underneath count for a lot (amongst many other welcome upgrades). Also some pictures with its stable mate 47727 (21 pin model, for now!). I had done 47739 in the past but sold it on (I think it will reappear in plux 22 form).

RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted Wednesday at 16:31 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted Wednesday at 16:31 Also weathered 2 of my Cavalex 56’s (what super models these are). Drivers added, plates attached and hand/airbrush weathered. With 56091 I copied what I saw in pictures of the loco from Flickr. Hope you like. 7 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Hi Andy, They all look great! Just the right amount of weathering for a modern day fleet. I especially like your version of 47749. I’m about to start working on one for myself. Could I ask about your method of masking the radius on the cabside, where the blue meets the yellow? My plan was to mask diagonally across a sharp 90 degree corner and then touch in the blue with a brush afterwards. Is there a better way? Best, Denny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan was to mask diagonally across a sharp 90 degree corner and then touch in the blue with a brush afterwards. Is there a better way? Best, Denny I personally use on Tamiya masking tape for all edges (it’s by far the sharpest and best). That is a sort of side note though. What I do on specifically that bit is to cut a very sharp corner off the 6mm tape. It’s not easy to get right but you can do it until you get one you are happy with without wasting much tape. I also use a very small pair or victorinox scissors. One other way would be to do a right angle and then whilst the paint is still wet, unmask and use some white spirit to take the point off. This may sound daunting but it isn’t and I do it all the time to remove over spray or straighten a line (this is a top tip btw).
