    Had a third go at the Kestrel pub, repainted the roof black and used rust on the brickwork. Seems to have worked.

    Grr, trying to get on with this Airfix Corsair, but theres a mistake in the colours, it says sea blue but it should be midnight blue. Now I've got to go to the shops, which I didn't want to do today.

      They are that indeed, Kelly! Though a decent natural metal finish can be just as challenging to obtain...

    3. Kelly

      Kelly

      1216 025 there exist good solutions for the metal finish now i believe, alclad or something like that, from what i saw in a magazine a few years back, it worked really rather well.

    4. NGT6 1315

      NGT6 1315

      Yeah, Alclad... These were not easily available over here at the time, so I never tried these.

    Did a fair bit of modelling today, I actuall feel knackered in 1:148 scale.

      nar, normal scenery and I've started my platform. Due to curvature I had to battle plasticard and hold it in place for a while.

      All that running...

  11. Coldgunner

    Run with plastikard today, this station will look great!

    1. halfwit

      Running with plasticard is ok, just don't run with scissors.

      heh, mean't to say 'Fun' lol.

    Didn't get the job :(, although my trip to brummyland wasn't entirely fruitless as I got to see 46235 at Thinktank.

      Its nigh on impossible to get an unobstructed photo of her as she is tucked in a corner. Although she's not behind a screen so you can touch her and have a look in the cab.

      Sorry about the job.... Thinktank - yes, but it's just a shame that she's stone cold. Feels very much like a mausoleum in there and shoved away in the corner. I tried some front end shots when I went... not very good - more of a record than photo excellence.

      Present location is not as good as the old Science Museum, although my Great Grandfather was born a few yards from where CoB now stands. More atmosphere at the old place, and it was free admission.

  13. Coldgunner

    Farish DP1 is very photogenic, very easy to look sharp in most lighting, even with an awful cameraphone.

  14. Coldgunner

    Thinks he may have re-assembled his farish V2 wrong as its shorting on all wheels :|. Strip and re-assemble again tomorrow.

      That's the problem with kettles, you should get yourself some DMU's ;>)

      nuts to that, live steam N gauge anyone?

  15. Coldgunner

    Started sketching Greslington station onto the baseboard ready for the plasticard structure.

  16. Coldgunner

    I think a replacement signal box in order, my latest 'photoshoot' has revealed some serious problems with my build and post build modifications.

  17. Coldgunner

    Interview weren't too bad, went and had a nosey in thinktank after, saw City of Birmingham. Magnificient loco!

      I remember when it was delivered to the old museum in Newhall St. Still got the pics somewhere.

      I remember it in Newhall St. too! Other marvels were Spitfire & Hurricane planes and the one car I really wish I could have had - a Mini Metro (okay, so it was the 6R4 - 3.5litres of raw power - a fantastic rally car until the foreign manufacturers got teed off with it's winning performance and got it banned from rallying)! Miss that old place!

    Travelling to Brummy land (Birmingham) today for interview, today is gonna be a long one I think!

    Grr, sorting out travel expenses with jobcentre is like a slow death. Painful and downright boring.
