Captain Cuttle Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hello, Not been on here for ages because of different problems but still building various models. Just finished a Tower Warship [D812] and also painted and almost finished a kit that has been hanging around for twelve months or more, an MSL Class 77. Next got two EM1's to finish and a repaint on a Bachmann BG Cheers CC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Hi Pete, Thanks for your comments, I prefer to use Phoenix/Precision paints and their Rail blue looks 'right' to me Cheers CC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibateg Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 very nice stuff CC - I like the Class 77 - an unusual partner for a Warship! But they are both great prototypes to model. I didn't realise they were 7mm 'till I opened the thread, as you have EM1s as well, will you be building a model of the 1500v MSW line?

Captain Cuttle Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 CC, Love your bogie frames on your 77, colour looks just right. Scott Scott, I used Phoenix/Precision Frame Dirt as the main colour with a hint of Coal Black, here are some more photos If you go to the old RM site on my Workbench you can see the earlier parts of the build. The chassis are from Pete Besant, the pantographs rebuilt in the same way as Brian Daniels did on his EM1 and the cab interiors scratch built in plasticard Cheers CC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Hi Dibateg, No I dont think so, I actually model the Southern Region in 1960's and hope to build a Milk Depot but not at the moment. I tend to built models that I like for some reason or other, if you know what I mean even if they are a challenge and both of these were. The Warship is very heavy and let down by the cantrail grilles. I also found the windows very time consuming to do and hope PW will be doing a kit at some point. The EM2 involved a major reworking including the chassis, pantographs and interiors but it worked out ok and although the roof colour is'nt correct, it should be a sort of pale yellowy grey, I like the Electric blue livery. The nameplates etc are from Guilplates, excellent as usual Cheers CC Cheers CC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt mind a class 22 kit at some stage but to be honest I have quite a few kits to keep me busy. I am considering a dabble in the world of DCC or Radio Control at the moment though :icon_wink: Cheers Phill :icon_thumbsup2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
souwest Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hi, The loco looks really good. I managed to snake in with one of the second run, and am plodding through it at the moment. Did you put anything in the engine compartment as, with the large side windows, and no floor in the engine compartment I would fear that there would be too much daylight. Does anyone have pictures of the engine compartments in any case? Happy modelling Stew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
