blueeighties Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 It does surprise me just how many jobs require sound installs these days. A delivery of further supplies this morning. 008 by rothburyuk, on Flickr A couple of Bachmann's latest....simple straightforward weathering tone down. 012 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 015 by rothburyuk, on Flickr As a rule I don't normally get involved with kitbuilding as I am so busy with painting work, but these are for a long standing customer so I make the odd exception. 018 by rothburyuk, on Flickr Something a little different... 020 by rothburyuk, on Flickr More 7mm sound installs, another 60, a 37, and a Hymek. 003 by rothburyuk, on Flickr And the 'relaxation' project, the Daughter's train set! I really DO NOT enjoy fiddling with this at all, oh no.... 019 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 016 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 015 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 014 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 A 4mm 60 for a change. 007 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 013 by rothburyuk, on Flickr And then back to yet another 7mm one! Busy fitting a soundchip, and I have also removed the Heljan internal light switching board. I am rewiring it to allow independent control of each individual lighting function. Day/night/tails/engine room light etc. It will also mean I can get a 2nd speaker in. 004 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 003 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) A weathered and renumbered Hornby class 60, repainted and weathered into the latest version of Colas livery.

piranha230 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I was thinking about buying an iwata custom micron-cm but at around £440 the price has been putting me off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 I was thinking about buying an iwata custom micron-cm but at around £440 the price has been putting me off. Nah, that's a superb brush, but not really suited to this sort of work, it's strength is in super fine .whatever mm line work. I use an Iwata Eclipse, superb and won't break the bank, ideally suited to 4 and 7mm work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Nice job on the 60 Lee, Do you have a pic/any info on your current set up for painting? I've recently invested in a portable spray booth from Expo to replace what I used to use but haven't had chance to use it yet. the first loco to go through will probably my next class 37.
