Pugsley

I've had a crack at weathering the nose bulkhead this evening, and I must admit that I'm rather pleased at the way it's turned out - used, but not too grubby (please excuse the rather cruel enlargement).

Can you spot which bit has had the attention from the fitters boot? ;) :D

 

Most of the effects have been done using gouache, but powders have been used in a couple of places to tone down the effect.

 

Engine room bulkheads are next.

 

Edit - I've taken a better, not so out of focus, picture this evening, which makes things look a little better. This also shows the modified boot print, and that I've not painted the AWS reset button silver!

Hello Pugsley :)

 

Thats an amzing amount of detail you have there, brilliant work. I love the smiley face too, I can imagine some bored mechanic doing that for a laugh.

That's really good, Martin - definitely 'just like the real thing' from what I can remember of various cab rides in the line of duty a few years ago!

 

Perhaps the fitter is quite a small person, in order to get a full boot print on the bulkhead, due to the confines of the cab etc.? ;) ;)

I think you'll need to put a small video camera in there to show the interior when it's in use...

 

Moving levers as well please... probably quite easy with an application of memory wire perhaps.. ;)

Hi Pugsley,

Looking great mate, you are going to have to have clean windows on the loco when you've finished, so you can see all the super detail work you have done.biggrin.gif

 

Cheers Peter,

Hey?!

 

I'm a small fitter. Luckily I have big boots laugh.gif Top work as usual Martin, looking forward to seeing this progress.

It's almost a pity to put it inside a loco - that is outstanding work :)

 

I can't wait for the finished article - it's certainly continuing to the same high standard as your 4mm stuff :icon_thumbsup2:

Thanks everyone B)

 

CK - That's a very good point about the boot print - I've now removed the heel part of it to make it look more like the door has been kicked open.

 

JB - There's enough to do on the underframe without taking things that far! ;) :lol:

Standard railway practice is to turn around and "boot" it, so just turn the print through 180 degrees rolleyes.gif

Ah, hadn't thought of that. I've removed the heel part of the print now, so it looks like its been booted from the front.
