Very nice indeed. Can you talk us through the weathering process, or did you do a complete respray?

Simply stunning!

I agree.

Hi Alan, Sorry it's taken a while to catch up. Really good to talk the other day. Your new layout looks superb btw. ATVB Martin 😊

A different kind of realism? Guinevere crests the bank at Westwick Lodge Junction

Steve, it's not right you keep posting photos of the real thing and passing it off as your modelling 🤔🤔🤔😳😄😄👍✌️💜

Gone for a jimmy.....after sarnies.

As always Paul, many thanks Thank you too😊👍

Thanks, that's good to know, I've had items from Rumney in the past. MJT? Sorry, my fault, brain fog, I thought I'd mentioned I was looking for 7mm items.

Thanks for that I'll get in touch with Runmy, looks like their range has increased since I last looked. Funny how Google searches miss stuff too. Dart Castings and MJT? I didn't know they were still going. Many thanks again 👍✌️😊

Hi everyone😊 I'm trying my damnedist to do a bit of model making again, relearning, doing simple tasks etc.🤞✌️😊 I'd like to purchase some cosmetic BR roller bearings to retro fit to a few Parkside (ex PSD) vans (as some variation and to modernise/update Eg Blue Spot vans). Am I correct in thinking (remembering) that there were BR roller bearing mouldings and fittings in the Parkside Grampus kits? I also need to add compensation to one or two vehicles and swapping out the PSD "oiler" axleboxes and fitting new - with sliding backs etc - might help in that regard too🤔 I've looked on line for castings and can't find any (found one or two listings but they're NLA). Any help and/or advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance, Martin 😊👍

Very nice work indeed. I particularly like the faded BR blue. I'm experimenting with colour to let down the blue on my Dapol 08 too. Without a complete repaint I've a few options open to me. One of several swatches....

I agree entirely - let's hope it's a goer though.... Good point well made too.
