M51625 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ok so house move done, decorating completed, modelling bench reactivated, and first up is a Scorpio shunters truck. As i havent done much for a while i thought i would start small, this will soon be joined by an 03 shunter kit, so starting at the beginning i've unpacked the bag and this is what you get.. 2 small etches, a bag of white metal castings and a bag of buffers and coupling castings that are a mix of brass and Nickel Silver. looks straight forward enough off we go. I have just noticed that the wheels i have for this are 3 hole and the instruction say 8 spoke are needed, better get a set ordered then.. Will post pictures of my progress when i work out how to keep files to less than 1MB.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_Lewis Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I do like the Scorpio range of kits. Yes, the castings do sometimes need a bit of cleaning up and I often replace the buffers, but they do go together nicely. With regard to the 1mb photo limit. I usually resize my photo's with Microsoft Paint (comes as part of windows), only takes a few seconds per photo. I'll look forward to seeing your progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M51625 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 ok, photos issued now solved, this is what you get: I have removed several parts and punched the rivet detail, now need to get everything back to being flat and start folding up..
