Be careful what you wish for...

Definitely needs backdating

Next you'll be going all Bob Ross on us and it will be 'Happy Little Accidents'

So time for part 4: Works in progress: Nearing the finish line with HMCS Snowberry. Hand rails, decals and some light weathering to do. Brassmasters Match Truck More bits added, but photo-etch and me are having issues atm - they cut me and I bled a lot (so a solution is needed). Eduard 1/48th Scale Spitfire Mk.VIII HF. My first my heart attack build - went together beautifully, paint work's behaving itself too. Tamiya 1/48th Scale German SPW (Half Track) Been a quick build so far, aside from the tracks being too short!

So finally on to part 3. Non railway related builds. Tamiya 1/48th Scale T-34's T-34-85 (new-tool 2020) T-34-76 (2005 Tooling, build interrupted by my heart attack). Tamiya 1/48th Scale Horch 1a (Horch eventually became Audi). Zvezda 1/72nd Scale T-28 (New Tool, fantastic kit to build - bonkers part count) That's all for completed stuff - part 4 will be works in progress.

No, that's Robin's 13T 5 Plank Thanks, it's got an MJT chassis underneath, just checked.

Yep 70 grams of car balancing weights on board both them here - well now in Coventry

I remembered that later

Part 2, still with the railway stuff to begin with. GWR 10T Vent Van (P4, not sure of the kit manufacturer for the body, MJT Chassis underneath). GWR Dia 1455 12T Vent Van (Ratio) LMS Dia.1455 Vent Van (Ratio) LMS 12T Vent Van (P4, again manufacturer unknown Cambrian for the body, MJT Chassis underneath) LMS 13T 5 Plank Wagon (Parkside Cambrian) LMS Tube Wagon (Chivers/Five79) GWR 12T Fruit Vans (Mainline) GWR 12T MOGO Vans (Mainline) GWR 12T Vent Vans (Mainline) GWR Shunters Truck (Bachmann) Mobil 12T Tank Wagon (Oxford Rail) Benzol 12T Tank Wagon (Oxford Rail) Part 3 coming soon.

I did promise a proper update, though I've been concentrating on getting better and forgot. Lot's of coaches completed.. GWR Collett 60' Coaches (Bachmann) Ancient Airfix GMR GWR Centenaries (P4). Wagons, Vans and NPCC Part 1 GWR Mica B's (Parkside Kits) BR Southern BY Van (Parkside) BR Southern Dia 3103 PLV (Parkside, two kits combined) Southern GBL Luggage Van (Hornby) GWR Dia AA3 16T Brake Van (Frogmore, P4 Gauge) LMS 20T Brake Van (Bachmann, P4 Gauge) Part 2 coming soon

Thanks, I'm getting there slowly, as a client's told me Roman wasn't built in a day. Though there's days I've felt like the Colosseum - ancient and crumbling lol. That being said I'm back in the workshop, but only for a few hours a day at present, as the meds do take their toll. They'll be a proper update on works when I'm far more focused. In the meantime here's a few things to wet the appetite. Nearing completion. A couple of complete RTR weathering projects Up periscope.. The Soviets are coming. More builds progressing. TTFN

Don't forget the charging port and tv suppression - hopefully they won't put it in an awkward place

I thought the 'Concrete' was based on a Loriot W?

Much better

Definitely need to do something about that green...

Certainly, if there is such a colour

I've got a nice can of Satin Black Smoothrite with reserved for Rob's 18000 on it

Wrong shade of Black, looks to green to me

Agreed Rails haven't got the model wrong, I still can't believe it's been made by Heljan - it's beautifully made. Heljan have put Early Crests on the wrong way round before, as I previously stated (and have put right on models for clients). In the days before computers, it wasn't unusual for images to be mirrored in publications to suit. It's easy to spot on 18000 because of the windscreen wipers.

There's also photo's where it didn't on google

Have Rails like Hattons (on the Beyer Garretts) have got the Early Crest wrong on one-side - shouldn't they be forward facing on both sides as they were on every steam loco they were applied to?

Mine runs perfectly well on 4th Radius track too. 2nd Radius is a bit iffy, but it did re-rail itself.

Where's Francis Tophill?

While your under, do you want a 5 pole motor with fly-wheel to replace the knackered X.04 and a full repaint in Railmatch's Post 1928 GWR Loco Green and post-war Lettering?

Must be something in the water @Ian Hargrave Get well soon, if your really lucky get them to ship you to Atkinson Morley at St George's, best Cardiac unit in the country.
