RMweb Premium MJI Posted March 24, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2012 The first one - to be a 118 DMS done, all handrails removed and drilled, all yellowed flush glaze removed.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted March 30, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2012 OK paint stripped right back, then wiped with cellulose thinners, the Halfords stuff was fine, but I used Barretine for the last vehicle, it went sticky!!!! Anyway washed and left, then sprayed with etch primer, all looks OK, roofs are now grey, will put a photo up later. Next job is blue sides Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium MJI Posted March 31, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2012 Here are some pictures, not great as I do not own a digital stills camera, these are 25% versions off my video camera stills and its flash ain't great. My phone camera - can only download at work but its stills are quite good (N8) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted March 31, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2012 The precision yellow covers very well and sprays well - looking forwards to blue tomorrow if dry as I have to spray between car and garage. Garage is full of junk (5 bikes, a freezer, Railway Modellers from 1978, ramps, spare wheel off the caravan, pump up boat, and a 1-3-5 cylinder head off my car (I replaced the valve seals by swapping the heads 2-4-6 is in the shed!)) as well as my half built model railway and my air compressor. That said less dusty finish than I get in the downstairs loo with rattle cans or my propellant can. I just wish I had thought to try my Humbrol and Draper airbrushes on it before. The Draper is good for small areas whereas the Humbrol is a paint coverer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted March 31, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2012 When I have finshed I may even have a piccy suitable for replacing my sniper!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted April 1, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2012 Now blue, a little seeping under tape, yellow needs brush touchup, currently glazing the DMS, will get it photoable later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted April 7, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2012 Here are the latest pictures, sides sprayed, windows and handrails fitted. Fronts repainted. Roofs need a quick over spray to cover the brush marks where I painted over some over spray, (same paint but finish is rather different). So next job is gluing the handles, then painting the first class stripe, then I will dust the roofs. Parts required are buffers, wipers, and possibly wheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted April 14, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 14, 2012 OK roofs redone, but the TCL roof is tatty (tape sticky????) - will sand it down and redo. Buffers ordered, wipers being painted. 6 windows need redoing as interior paint seeped through. Decided B465 now as I have seen a good photo of it, and more suitable than a Laira unit. Cleaned and relubricated the motor bogie. Wondering if it is worth fitting directional lighting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted April 24, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2012 OK Pickups now fitted to both non motored vehicles, will do some details later, but very easy to hide them on the DMU bogies. Motor is not very good, starts with a jump, on a Gaugemaster controller. Fitted running lights and they are pretty effective, just need to glaze the 2 lights on each end. Transfers done. Looking good, but not much different to the other pictures - but will do some tonight. Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted April 24, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2012 The 2 power cars, the cabs, a bogie with pickups, and the inside (still needs some paint) showing the lights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted April 28, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2012 Well apart from some 2mm diameter clear material for the marker lights and fitting passengers & driver it is just about complete. Will be running it to wear in the motor again. Today painted buffers, fitted lamp irons and destination blinds (both ends say Swindon!). Will photo when reassembled and paint dry. B435 next 117 in blue grey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted May 17, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2012 Swiped the lights from the next one. Will get some pictures up soon Now I am working on B435 blue grey 117. So far chopped off all plastic handrails, door handles (mainly for ease of painting) roof vents, toilet plumbing and unwanted brake compartment. Fitted the resin DMS parts and white metal roof vents. 90% through headcode boxes. Corrected the front windows on the sides, no extra wiring yet done. Nor interior work. Tomorrow last 6 vents, then araldite overnight. Headcode boxes went a bit wrong so sanded down and rebuilt roof over HCB with filler, need to smooth to shape.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted July 22, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2012 OK current status of B435. Ends painted bt went lumpy, sanded down and brush painted with a spray mix I tipped backin from last weekend, sides now blue, need another coat, small amount of overspray on the roof. Next job is a coat of blue, then the grey, finally a quick roof dust Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
