Nelson Jackson Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thank you for your kind words everyone, Rivet transfers seem to be the way to go, thank you for the link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted August 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2014 Nelson, if your wagon is anything like wooden wagons built on this side of the Irish Sea, then it was held together by bolts and not rivets. Usually, the bolts were threaded from the inside and what you can see on the outside is the nuts. These can be represented by suitably sized cubes of plastic if you're very dedicated (the method Chris Crofts described in his articles in MRJ 12-15 which will tell you more than you really want to know about British wooden wagons), but getting them small and even enough is tricky to say the least.

John M Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The NCC coal wagon really looks the part the outside W irons and other details really set the NCC & BCDR stock apart from other wagons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Make that four. Cut very very small cubes of microstrip and place them as you would with Archers rivet transfers. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hello Everyone, Sorry for the lack of updates this past week(s), I had taken a whole week off modelling and forums etc... To clear my head and get me focused for the beginning of school, but now I've settled in I can get back to finishing off the NCC wagon, but in the meantime I've built and finished this Panzer 3 Ausf B, and started on 2 more completely scratch built wagons, more info about these in later updates. I have also bought a brand new Hornby fowler for a great price on eBay a couple of days ago and when I've finished off the current and started projects then I will begin on making a LMS NCC WT Class Jeep. Take care folks, Nelson 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Jackson Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hello everyone, Painting is now underway on the whippet and I decided to make a diorama for my stug, this'll be the second time doing anything scenery wise and im quite happy with it, just noticed the tree isn't straight will fix that now I totally understand that this is a railway forum so I'm sorry if I'm breaking any rules here, will get back to railway modelling soon, tell me if you like these types of posts or would you rather see railway ones only? Thanks Nelson 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Great work Nelson!On the subject of the wonky tree, I have been thinking. Is there such a thing as too perfect modelling? Not all trees are tall, straight and pleasant on the eye! Most of the Lampposts in my area have dents and/or are not straight. So, I'd say leave the tree.

Spitfire2865 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Honestly, if posting modelling work in your workbench thread is against the rules, Im guilty too. Keep it coming. I dont mind. Rather enjoy seeing it. We all need breaks from trains every now and again. What better than to just change subjects?

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi, Nelson. I think that the tanks and the scenic work is all good modelling, and I'm only too happy for you to continue with it. I've done some military modelling myself as well. Keep up the good work.

Nelson Jackson Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hello everyone, Once again sorry for the delay in this update but better late than never painting figures does take an awfully long time, anyway these are the Zvezda 1/72nd scale Germans in late war winter clothing, superbly moulded in hard plastic so there's very little flash and lots of detail, highly recommended. Then once those were done I started to finish off the Whippet that I started a couple of weeks ago and here are the results, I'm really happy with how it's turned out particularly the weathering and tracks. Now that was all the military kits over and done with I began on some (railway related yay ) GNRI/SLNCR wagons, these are still in the making, they are resin kits from Provincial Wagons, very easy to put together and have lots of detail, the 4 coal wagons are to be heavily weathered. Thanks for reading, take care, Nelson 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi, Nelson. Excellent modelling. The figures look very lifelike. Looking forward to the weathering of the wagons. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
