Ian Fisher Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 More bits finnished up today an a inner car had a quick undercoat, showing only minor finnishing needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Fisher Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Bit more light spraying to see what things look like, grey and yellow certainly show up any flaws or minor blemishes. Thankfully though the windows and their ghoting are becoming less day by day! Feels like I have been saying that for months, guess I have but it is working! Pics to follow..

Ian Fisher Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Last couple of days have been taken up adding layers of filler to the cab sides and fronts. Thankfully nearly done now, out with the emery in a few days getting them blended takes an ages but a job best done slow and steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted April 1, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hi Ian, Come on - Where's the pictures......

Ian Fisher Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hi Phil, Expect some images in the coming hours...they just dont look much given they are amber.... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Fisher Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Few images as promised, the routine has been glue fill, wet emery, then spray with grey primer, then look for any more imperfections, then spray with the yellow filler which is a little thicker than normal primer but doesnt clogg detail. Used with the grey I seem to be able to see how things are coming along or not as the case maybe! The only main area of work on the sides now the windows are looking better or lack of them is the join between roof and side which depsiter being glued and a good fit left a little lip that needs careful trimming back, my seam scraper takes care of that though. We had a little drive out the other night to see 1S96 pass through Lichfield A 325 at full pelt didnt give much opportunity for photos!

Ian Fisher Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Looking forward to a trip up north hopefully, Saturday to York. On my shopping list will be sprung oleo buffers.....I can only try Picking up some nice milky bar bits and bobs from Mr Edge (if not I will leave him the wedge for them!) I think I may have a look at Replica's chassis's and have a look at their worth to the project (Ta Phil H!) I will also hopefully be able to get some fine triangular section strip from Squires. Last few days has seen work continue in small burst on the other DTV's getting them to a similair status of build. I invested in some more filler primer too today from Halfords in Swadlincote, oh and some bauxite ready for a top coat! I can dream....

Ian Fisher Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Good day out to York which got all my shopping...and a few good constructive chats to boot! The chassis is something that will be looked at by the R&D section to see how it could be used as a fleet standard...I like my standards.. Oh and the milky bar is on Mike! UF Bits Thank you! Mr Edge.

The chassis is something that will be looked at by the R&D section to see how it could be used as a fleet standard...I like my standards.. Hi Ian, I've had a play with the chassis....... Not for use on 'Modern Units' like the CL320 etc However - will find a use under the CL303 and CL311 EMU's though. Now - if only I could find a way to get Replica to do a similar chassis to suit the 'Modern Units'.... As well! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Fisher Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Hi Phil, Godfreys lad reckons hes putting it in his 319 with a tweak..I am looking at how it might fit in the TAV and have the PTMV as unpowered we can only ave a look!

Ian Fisher Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thirty six triangular sections now glued on to nine of the cars that make up my twelve (the PTMV's only have one long lifting section) Just got to drill the door opening things again now, moved to allow the lifting plates to be in their rightful places. As the part is only .8mm and 3.5mm long bit hard to take a close up photo off...Least I know they are there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
