cheesysmith Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 That coach is a lot of cutting and shutting to get straight and true\smooth. We, your adoring public, will not accept anything less than proof of success, and that will mean a coat of paint, even just undercoat, to see if you can get it straight and smooth. We will Accept a delay due to weather before the paint is applied. I know this would normally get me thrown out of the Clive cut and shut club for even using the words paint, but I do want to see how smooth you can get that many joints. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit you miss, the magicians sleight of hand bit, is when Clive substitutes the cut and shut for a primed Comet side, all nice and smooth!

Hi Dave, As you well know there is a term that forfeits a 10p donation to the swear box. Using words such as "paint" in relation to home made coaches may in the future, should you put the idea into Clive's head, incur a 5p forfeit to the swear box. Be careful of what you wish for !!!

That's why I'll be following this closely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Cheesy The only way to get thrown out is to tell, not suggest but tell me I should go DCC. Mentioning paint is OK as reminds me to turn the paint box length wise under the Doncaster sidings as it is sticking out a tad and I keep tripping over it. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Hi Mike I have done overlays before, a Swindon Cross Country unit. By the time I had cut away most the coach and then stuck the side on wonky I realised it was cheaper to ruin a good RTR coach just by chopping it up.

Hi Dave, I've had a thought, if all of Clive's cut and shut stock was painted in primer and also should he take black and white photographs then he may well get away with fooling us into thinking that he had actually painted his coaches. It might just work. Gibbo. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 One step at a time. Primer is a big step, considering how long some have been waiting for even that. And let's not get into how long his DMUs and EMUs have been waiting for the file to finish the window corners. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
