Well, good Dr., Therein lies the rub. Theyre as rare as hens teeth and unless one is initiated into the ancient craft of injection moulded loco wrangling, it aint easy! Im sworn to secrecy too, so if I tell you, I will either have to set the phantom raspberry blower onto you, or else I shall be black-balled.

CME and Bottlewasher Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Looking forward to seeing how the preshading goes Phill, Ive used it from time to time, it can be a great effect. Accident damage? Ive modelled such on wagons etc. Its a tricky one though, its like modelling ripples in a diesels flanks on a ships hull....those are best avoided as it can just look like poor modelling. Im sure you will do a great job Phill. ATVB CME Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hi Phill, Just catching up. The GUV is coming on really well, I am likeing the Western too not seen pre shading before so will follow with interest. Thought you had more than 3 westerns though. Did you sell one? Cheers Peter.
