RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 13, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) A close up of the old Airfix five plank wagon previously featured. This illustrates the texture and colour possible with powders. Rob Edited February 11, 2023 by NHY 581 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 13, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Being hyper-critical..... The retaining pin would show some bright metal where it's been repeated pushed through the bracket, which itself would show scuff marks. The end of the door bangers would also show scuff marks from the door and the door's metal bar would have paint scratches from the same contact point.

A couple of strokes with a soft pencil should do the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2019 I say, old bean, how about making the most interesting contents of your spares box available as a Small Business? That crane looks the Business, if you'll pardon the unintentional but noticed-as-I-was-typing-in pun. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More painting required, a suitable hook and a decision made regarding chain or hawser for it to dangle from. Rob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2019 I need a yard crane like that. Was hoping to find a kit on sale somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted March 5, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2019 It's a bit of a miss-match. The jib is from a Wills kit, the gears etc is from an old Cambrian GWR hand crane. All tweaked/ chopped/filed. Bits of wire and copper tube etc added and a dollop of paint or two. The Base is that cut off Mutton 's ground frame and a bit of strip wood for the deck.

I normally go over parts like that with a soft pencil it shines it without it looking like a blob of silver. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thanks, chaps. What company was your crane kit, please, Bob and are you saying you might be willing to exchange it for some pasty vouchers? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 13, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Bringing this thread up to date. Another view or two of an Adams Radial, as running on Mutton. The usual weathering powders applied thereon. Rob. Edited February 11, 2023 by NHY 581 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
