I too can vouch for the superior quality of @chuffinghell's printed wagons, as I built three T3  prototypes for appraisal and it may possibly have been me who pestered him to create them,

 

 

I didn’t consider it pestering, I enjoyed the distraction from the layout challenge 

Thanks for the positive feedback (cheque is in the post)

I always try and test fit as much as I can and drill out holes where required, I try to clean up/remove the supports as best as I can too but there are usually some I’ve missed (nothing a file or sand paper won’t fix)

Fitting the wheel sets is the scary part because of the brittle nature of the resin. I recommend having a finger and thumb either side to stop the W irons moving out too far and breaking

Also if the wheel sets are tight I find running a file over the points of the axles helps

…. things got more out of control with another order to the 3-D wizard @chuffinghell some T3s have landed! Cheers Chris some more fantastically detailed wagons.

 

You’re welcome but I’m more an apprentice wizard

Thought I'd written a response to this, I remember looking that up after you posted. I suspect it will be similar to the Valejjo one, sounds it from the description.

Although I like and use Vallejo paints their primer is awful! It just rubs off.

The Stynylrez primer does adhere better though

I admire anyone that can model with only a 3mm workbench my workbench is six foot long and still struggle for space 🤪

I didn't think it was polite to point out that it's knob was hanging out

I think it’s already been established that ‘normal’ is an overrated concept

I don’t think any of my relatives are normal either

It depends on the stock. These little loft extensions have velux windows 😆

What a marvellous looking kit 😉

Are you planning on doing a ‘hannibal lecter’ and biting the face off first?

Why is it necessary to formally close an account? 

What's wrong with just ceasing to use it if you no longer have any reason to do so?

Are you incurring any real risk by leaving it open?

Its not necessary, I’ve closed it on principle

I used the PP white enamel primer as specced on their site. I used to religiously use halfotds rattle cans but they are not very cost effective and quite wasteful. Coverage on them was always good. Once my current stock is gone, no more will bw bought.

I used to use Halfrauds plastic primer but when the local store closed I switched to Hycote grey plastic primer from Amazon (cheaper and larger 400ml can) however I have been experimenting with Stynylrez Airbrush Primer

Well, at 22, I'll bring the average age down a bit.

I’m 48 so my age now matches my IQ 🤪

It’s taken me an hour to get my account closed, passed from one representative to another

What part of “I wish to close my account” does eBay not understand?

Hopefully it’s done now
