My detailing/repainting projects


Recommended Posts

A bit of sun today, and a few locos rolling off the workbench. Made for a nice combination :-)

40162. This is the first blue centre headcode one I have resprayed. Chosen by the customer as it was the last one to retain roller blind headcode displays. I have added the extra nose end handrails.

Must replace those missing lamp brackets.

37054 in rather drab departmental grey. Looks smart though!

And last but by no means least, a bit of a Scottish beast.

Every now and again, something comes along and stops me in my tracks.

Not my own work, picked them up earlier today. I'm still drooling over every glorious detail.

Excellent detail but the newspaper headline caught my eye - what is a "ROBERY" ?

 

Sorry, I pick up on these things.

 

The "Eric Clapton is God!" graffiti is a famous example, but I forget where it was written.

Hi Lee,

           Lovely spray jobs you have here. Might i ask what the springy type contraption thingy is that you use to hold the loco bodies whilst working on them? Maybe it's a home made affair perhaps? Either way i could do with a similar kind of thing, provided it works for N gauge of course.

OMG don't let Kal see this....he is always pointing how messy I am, I spread off in all directions, and despite having homes (Stanley trays that stack up nicely) for each brand of paint....they are usually strewn around my expensive iMac....I drive him nuts.....especially if he goes to his desk...and my stuff is there too....oops.....the longer I stay in one place the wider the mess gets....like a little volcano oozing out of the ground with pots of colours and bits of model.....

I would rather sit through a One Direction concert than have to mask another one of these off.

This mornings job....stripping all of the detail off these in preparation for paint stripping.

Started stripping the glazing out of these so as I can fit laserglaze. Easier said than done. Hornby seem to have used their special 'concrete mix' glue.

At least it's not quite so ugly with the tape ....
