Toboldlygo's Model Works (as of 31/07/2020)
toboldlygo replied to toboldlygo's topic in Modelling musings & miscellany
Considering the 56/66xx is the old Mainline one that's a compliment - my client brought it on one of his frequent lunchtime trips to Beatties in Kingston back in the 80's (I've never seen so much Mainline stock). Makes a change from weathering GWR Rolling stock, lots of that to come in the coming weeks - 9 more this week, plus some 12 Wheels Pullmans. The Crusader you can either do the wing raised position or level in the instructions - though you need to make some adjustments to make the wing sit level. -

It's been a busy week or so.. A few locos (one admittedly a chassis rework). A lot of rolling stock. Oh and I finished the F-8E Crusader...- 683 replies

Yes a colour they had plenty of during the war - Ocean Grey -

I had a payment go out this last week or so too Southern Malachite Green, Sunshine Yellow Lining and lettering in transition to BR would be awesome.

Another update.. I finished the AA6, Loriot & M13. The Yellow Peril was ready for her decals (they were applied this morning - forgot to take a photo). The Crusader is now partially decalled and the fuselage is nearly finished with painting. And this arrived...- 683 replies

A Forgotten Fighter - Westland Whirlwind

The question I have, is what engines those mechanics you knew had been working on previously to the Sabre? -
A Forgotten Fighter - Westland Whirlwind

I suspect to get a Typhoon or Tempest V in the air - it may well be fitted with a Griffon or a Merlin (both of which will fit the air frames - I know Ian was mentioning that as an interim measure for his Typhoon). Though with modern design and engineering tweaks we might see a Sabre engined one fly. -

Kermit has so many projects on the go, it's just crazy. -
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, your mini me made chuckle - as a client of mine got himself scanned and 3D printed by Modelu as Loco Crew (which I've painted).

So here's part 2... A mystery loco - in yellow (including a photobombing fly!).. A pair of complete Bulleids (seen elsewhere on the Forum - to please the masses). Decals are on the Loriot & M13 And if you've not seen the Blog, the Whirlwind was finished.. And the Crusader briefly returned to the bench for painting. And that is it for this update.- 683 replies

Time for an update: Currently on the bench AA6 Permanent Way Van, all painted, will be decalled later this afternoon. Loriot W - again at the same stage the AA6. M13 Newspaper Van, a new acquisition for a client. It needed replacement screw link couplings and is just awaiting decalling and weathering. Part 2 will be later today
