[Guest]

Nice one Ian!!


I never seen these kind of kits here....

 

[papa 695]

Well I've made a start on this one, got the front main frame put together and painted. Also got the boiler halves put together and cut off and cleaned all the slide bars and Pistons ( if that's what there called ).

[monica]

nice start Ian,


and what do you have in mind for this one,?

 

[papa 695]

Not sure yet Monica.


Any ideas ?

 

[monica]

mmmmm,maybe as it has the long car,could do some like,


having it at a station,with some of the high brass boarding,

 

[Guest]

Nice start Ian!


The Moni's idea is cool

 

[papa 695]

I'm going to try and show it running down the track in a countryside setting, so I best start making some trees and shrubs.

 

[monica]

I do like the sounds of that Ian,


and time to use some cotton wool for the smoke,and have it flowing down to show its moving forwards

 

[papa 695]

Got the mainframe and wheels painted and weathered

Thanks Monica glad your liking it so far

 

[monica]

[Guest]

Looking good so far, nice paintwork and clean build

 

[papa 695]

I've been slowly working on this one and forgotten to post pictures. Well as you can see it almost completed, but I'm thinking of putting it on hold until I get some figures for it, like the driver and coal man and a few passengers

I will weather it up a lot more for the diorama/base


Thanks for the comment Monica

 

[papa 695]

I've got the train and coach completed and now started the weathering. There are figures in the coach but not sure you can see them on the photos. When completed I will put the driver and coal man on the engine.

Looks good. I've seen some really dirty trains, plenty of options for weathering.
