RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted May 24, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2017 Completely forgot to take any WIP pics while doing 144007 ! Painted the seat-backs, grab handles, & fire extinguishers inside. Painted the roof. Added people. Weathered it. Pics with a boxfresh 144012 for comparison.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted June 9, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 9, 2017 As my Dad says, "You've only stuck the plates on it". Not to mention the bufferbeam pipework, communication cable on one end, repainted Yellow ends, replacement electric flashes, and weathering it so its dirty enough to look clean...... ........as well as the 4-piece nameplates !!!

sdw7300 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Good work Phil. The buffer grim look particularly effective. Is that just a close up blast with the airbrush? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted June 10, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 10, 2017 Yeah, it's 'Roof Dirt' colour in the airbrush, quite a thin mix (same as what I used on the roof of this loco) , air pressure approx. 15psi (maybe a bit less). The tip of the gun was no more than half an inch from the buffer, and with the air constantly flowing, just very gently go on-off-on-off.......with the paint, letting the air 'dry' the paint each time to build up the density. Depending what happens to be in the airbrush, I've used 'roof dirt', 'matt black' & 'gloss black', to do the same thing. In fact, this loco had a final touch of 'matt black' over the 'roof dirt' on the buffers, when I used it to add the soot around the exhaust. HTH Cheers, Phil.

crompton 33 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Phil. The class 47 look's good in Intercity livery with the bufferbeam detail you fitted. All the best Alf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradfordbuffer Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Spot on Phil. I see the driver is giving it some stick on the throttle (as you do) but you miniature shunter needs to clip the pipes on to securing chains! And hang the shackle up.... I would of sent him back down to finish job off ... grease splats on buffer heads look good....ready to smear all over your clean smock! Cracking work.

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted June 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) How have I not seen this workbench thread before?!?! Oh how I could do with your skills Phil - the DRS coaches look very factory, and some of the Hornby Exec livery coaches have the extra step on them now (which I didn't realise when i bought the blue / grey ones). I'd better subscribe! Edited June 20, 2017 by scoobyra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted June 20, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2017 So this has been sitting on a shelf above my workbench since March 2016, so I thought I better get around to finishing it !! Got the transfers from Railtec, including the 'Total Lubricants' stickers that 60002 carries. Cheers, Phil. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted June 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2017 Ready for a very light weathering. Will decide if I like the light configuration when I give them a run ! Cheers, Phil. Phil Where did you get the door lock lights from, and the data panels for the coach ends? Cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted June 23, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2017 Phil Where did you get the door lock lights from, and the data panels for the coach ends? Cheers Mike The door lock lights (& the emergency door handles) are from Hurst Models. Can't remember for sure, but after a quick look through my random box of transfers, I think the data panels were cut off the 'C3' transfers on the Fox sheet F4213/10. HTH. Cheers, Phil.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted June 25, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2017 The body is now all stickered up and in the airing cupboard after a coat of varnish, so I thought I'd paint the internal details to best match what I can make out in my pics.
