Nelson Jackson Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hello everyone, Here's the latest project, it's a LMS NCC open wagon, everything that is white in the pics below has been individually cut out from plasticard sheets, a timely process but it looks the part. Many thanks Nelson 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frappington Jct Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Looks great Nelson!! One note, while I'm sure all your models are fully authentic and accurate, for us none Irish modellers, could you include a prototype pic with your Irish models, purely as an interesting comparison? Not that I'm doubting your work, it's fabulous - and annoyingly fast! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Thank you Matt, I would love include pics but they are all from books which are copyrighted, and there's no pics on the Internet for me to link to, sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frappington Jct Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 That's OK, it was just a thought as I before I see your models I've never seen that item of stock before 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 4, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi there, I particularly like those w irons on this van. When I've made things like that out of plastikard it always seems to take ages, and then, suddenly, the jobs finished. Certainly very well done on your latest model and I look forward to further progress on this van. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire2865 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Wow. And are you using a Dapol chassis again? How do you manage to remove the brake lever so cleanly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Thank you everyone for your kind words, I appreciate it. Yep, it's the Dapol chassis, removing the brake lever wasn't too hard, just attack it with a knife, saw, file and cutters Edited May 5, 2014 by Nelson Jackson 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted May 5, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2014 Nice work Nelson. Spitfire, on the newest Dapol chassis the brake lever is a separate part. That should make like a bit easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire2865 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Ohh. That makes more sense. On the Dapol lms van, the brake lever is moulded into the sides where it only looks right from straight on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hello everyone, Sorry for the lack of updates, but here she is, an NCC open wagon, the body is a Dapol one as it is a very close representation to those used on the NCC.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hi Nelson, the finished wagon has turned out superbly. And to echoe a previous comment, the weathering is tremendous - far better than I was able to achieve in my teens! I look forward to your next project. All the best, Market65.

And to echoe a previous comment, the weathering is tremendous - far better than I was able to achieve in my teens! I look forward to your next project. All the best, Market65. It's an excellent looking wagon. If Nelson was 75 years old instead of 15, it would still be excellent. Regards, Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londontram Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I tell you what mate you could charge for a painting service that good.

Nelson Jackson Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thank you Stefan and Steve. Looks to be code 500 I'll get some pics of the 2 on the layout later on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Jackson Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Here they are in a more realistic setting, once the exams are over and summer begins then I'll be making lots more to build a decent wagon rake for exhibitions.

Nelson Jackson Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hello everyone, Since school work and exams are slowing things down, I decided to do a small project, a small photographic plank. This would be my first proper attempt at any thing like this, ignore the white bits in the pics below that's just the PVA, it hasn't completely dried yet. I'm thinking about varnishing the wood, what do we think? Many thanks Nelson 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
