RSS Fetcher Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Welcome to my blog. Hopefully by the time I'm finished there will be something to show for my efforts. Due to work and being a carer for an ill relation, my time is often short and for a long time, nothing I have started has been finished. I've had several loco's for some years (a pannier, 08 and now an 03), and a baseboard 6 feet x 18 inches. I've wandered around York show for many years seeing some great work and felt I couldn't match the work shown there. Several false starts have been made, and this might be another, but hey ho! Does it matter? This year I bought a NCE powercab at the show with the intent of making a start and decided to go for card modelling. It means I can build wherever I'm required to be without bothering about paint on the lounge carpet! Last week I converted a wooden tray to a modelling board that can be carried around the house and located all the tools I've been collecting that may be useful. For good or bad, I began with a a Metcalfe warehouse, and was pleasantly surprised. There are some obvious issues, but work began and progress has continued this week. Job 1: The print gets progressively out of line compared to the cuts across the parts. Made a small jig and remade the sills. All sills were completed, windows next.
