Guest eddie reffin Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Seeing your Heljan 26 has spurred me on to do another bit of filing on mine. Interesting that you have chosen to make complete new doors. What thickness of plasticard did you use? I just filled the window blanks but may look at new doors instead as I'm not completely happy.

Hi Eddie. The tablet catchers are to get filled and smoothed properly. I spoke to Brian at Shawplan nicely and he very kindly cut me the door blanks out, which makes things a lot easier!

Hi Eddie, I think that means you never touched it since you bought it the first year Heljan released it! You were going to do it as a demo - if I remember correctly?

Mad McCann Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Good to see you're getting on with the 26, Eddie. Life doesn't always allow modelling projects to take precedence. Convalescing from an operation has given me plenty of modelling time of late. Take a look at these beasties, if you're so inclined. :-) http://albaweathering.com/2015/06/15/alb-00910-the-workhorse-and-the-sodjer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
