Ian G That rusted weathering - especially the work staining on the interiors - looks brilliant Ian. Can I ask what you mean when you qualify Tony Wright's talks with "if you are not a P4 Modeller"?

Ian G Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 My BTU coach and Siphon are slowly progressing, over easter i started another dogfish kit 3 hours of cutting forming and soldering to produce the basic chassis and hopper assembly. Scott if you are a P4 modeller you get a fair amount of ribbing in one of Tony's talks. Ian G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian G Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 After many months of study and a long break til September but with a few projects still to finish. I am back at my bench with a little offering from Scorpio Models in the form of a GWR crocodile, my second kit of this model, the first being one of my early large brass wagon kits that I built. The story so far about 6 hours work to emboss all the rivets, cut out, clean and fold the main parts of ther kit. Ian G 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
