vac_basher Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I was doing some research on the old RMweb a few days ago and I cam across the "show us your...." topics. There was some great stuff there (especially in the Class 37s!). So I thought it would be nice to start a similar topic here.... I won't post any photos for now as I don't really have any models that are exceptionally detailed (but I'm working on one!!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Well, I suppose it's an excuse to get my trusty old Brassmasters-enhanced Black Five a bit of exposure! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Max Stafford : Well, I suppose it's an excuse to get my trusty old Brassmasters-enhanced Black Five a bit of exposure! And how well it looks too. I'm impressed by the rusty coal space and to the rear of that by the water filler, parts not often coloured in this way. Considering the battering this area took every day, this weathering is totally realistic even on the cleanest of engines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucky Duck Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Well, I suppose it's an excuse to get my trusty old Brassmasters-enhanced Black Five a bit of exposure! Dave. Nice one Dave, that's spurred me on! I've not been able to do any modelling for a while but that image has made the urge to return to my Black Five, even stronger. Yours is a long way towards what I'm aiming for with mine… except that I made a bit of a mess with the Brassmaster bits on the rear deck so it will need to be rusted and 'freshly flooded' with 'water' to dusguise it.

vac_basher Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Nice one Max I love the rust on the tender and the bits of coal that have fallen off the back. Very realistic. Keep 'em coming lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi Vac Basher, I remember the threads, very useful. Here are a couple of mine. A detailed Bachmann Duff and my only finish steam loco, an old Airfix 4F. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binesrail Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi all, This is a photo of my BR Crab on my layout Whitefield Lane, a newly weathered loco with crew and coal added. Any thoughts? Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binesrail Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Here is my newly weathed 08 shunter, i achived this look by covering a small area in paint and wipin it off with cotton buds, but always copy photographs of the locos your weathering, never guess and when you say to yourself "that could use with a bit more dirt" STOP! and thats bacicaly how i weather my diesels.

RMweb Premium 65179 Posted April 6, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2011 As I've not posted any of my own work on here before, I thought I'd add the model I've just about finished to this thread. Kentish Town's 45649 Hawkins with Stanier 3500 gallon tender. Forgot to say this is a Farish Jubilee body with Nigel Hunt 2mm chassis and 3500 tender kit. Given my current rate of progress it will be a couple of years before I have anything else to show! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucky Duck Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 My as yet unfinished 8F project. That looks most impressive Ian! I'm guessing wildly that it's a Hornby body with a Comet cab, tender and 'bits'… but I'm confused as the level of detail makes it look more like 7mm. Do you have a build thread for this? By the way, thank you for the 504 EMU interior info! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Allen Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi, it's the Modern Outline Kit in 7mm with AGH wheels. No build thread unfortunately as most of the work was carried out almost 10 years ago ! Yes I was away from the hobby for a while and it was "in storage". My pleasure to help out in any way I can with the 504's Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
92220 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 This is just about ready for public consumption but it definitely needs further work on the weathering, to say nothing of my photographic skills.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 18, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2011 I don't just do diesels....... Built this long before the Bachmann version was announced. 90561 working off Springs Branch in the late 1950's - complete with LMR and WR style lamp irons on the front. (Apologies for the bent vac pipe) And there's a really detailed 156 that I made earlier...... :yes: Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
