RMweb Gold tractionman Posted July 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2015 However, this article was positively encyclopaedic when compared to Allan Downes' piece on building a cenotaph tower in the last issue. After advising the modeller to cut out four sides and glue on wooden legs it happily glossed over everything else in one sentence - 'the running rails, tub, cables and the like were scratch built from styrene sheet and Evergreen plastic sheet.' Now Allan Downes is a great modeller, and most of his past articles in MR have been highly educative, but this 2-page piece was almost insulting in its brevity. I felt the same, I thought 'this looks great', but I would really need some more step-by-step detail to build the thing - I turned over the page expecting more but it was not to be! Perhaps a part 2 could be featured sometime, to show the final stages? cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
