pitbull1845 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thanks for the comments guys, its coming together slowly. I think once I get the fencing and the bushes across the back it will look better. Then weather the ballast etc etc.... In other news, the 5 bodies have arrived for the MXA project. so the next phase can start. As usual thanks for looking and taking the time to comment. Cheers Scott 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull1845 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Evening, I'm sure you're all fed up of hearing about the bloody MXA's, but I have good news. The first two are through the production line (just need varnishing to protect the transfers) As a first project with 3d printing I think they've come out rather well. Not 100% accurate but they certainly give the feel of the wagon. I promise I wont mention them for a while now, I still have another 3 to do, so I expect when they're done I'll post again! Thanks for looking. and have a good weekend Scott 7 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Good morning, Apologies for reposting my YouTube link! I can't seem to delete it from my where I type comments. #Confused.com *Edit - reposting it has cleared it just in case you're interested! Can't get to the layout today as I'm at work, which is so frustrating when I have lots to do. if you manage to get modelling time this weekend, have fun and hope you're productive.

pitbull1845 Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Afternoon, Just a brief update to say that the new siding has been added, so the virtual quarry is now going ahead. it's wired In, I need to ballast it next and then work on the quarry itself, although the scenery at the back needs to be done before I can start at the front of the layout. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
