Ian G Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 I managed to cobble together enough numbers and letters from my few presfix transfer sheets to mark up my Low Mac, weathering next. And the skin base coat for my loco crew. Ian G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian G Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 I picked them up in the garden railway centre near me, but I think if u look on m & m models you will find mustard models they do some. Ian G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian G Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Low Mach and loco crew finished, I can not get a decent photo of the faces as these took me the longest to paint. Ian G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fitness Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hi Ian, Excellent work on all the per way wagons; just wondering what the end result with the Shark was? I'm just about to start one myself...! Jon F. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian G Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have moved on a bit with the build, I have a running chassis, and now to scratch building the cab interior, but not sure to compromise with the width of the tanks inside the cab, If I make themwide to cover the wheels I will have to trim 2mm of either side of the back head.

Ian G Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Moving on a few months with steady progress, the loco is at this stage. Ian G 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian G Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Further progress, tanks filled with lead shot and araldite, lids on sand boxes and tanks in cab, hand rail holes in side of cab filled, a spot more cleaning up then to add the cab fittings, I have noticed on the photo's I have that there is a pipe coming through the cab to the whistle then going down both sides, dos anyone have a good picture of this?

N15class Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Your G6 is coming on nicely. Whos kit is it? It looks like it goes together well. Also in post #134 you have a copy of a works drawing, may I ask where you got it from as I would like to get one too for a future project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian G Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 The G6 is a Connoisseur kit, but does not come with a cab interior, many items are from the Laurie Griffin range with additional brass sheet for extra additions, my 1st real bit of scratch building has gone well so far, the drawing was sent to me by another RMweb member.

Ian G Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Not much more added spent the other night with my little airbrush type shot blaster happy with the results, boiler top fittings just placed and not fixed yet, still need to find a single handrail knob to finish off the front.

N15class Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looks very good. What livery are you doing? Are you making a departmental one? With the extra step. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian G Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yes it will be the departmental one, but looking through many photos a hanful of locos had the extra step. Ian G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian G Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Chassis and wheels in weathered black, body in satin black, but noticed a few runs on the cab sides, so a spot of light sanding wet and dry to remove and respray. not sure what colour to paint the cab interior.
