discussion What's on the Bench? 2021

[Bobby Conkers]

Why have I been blunting my snips on waste sprue when I could have been using my 25000 golf tees? Nice tip Tim, nice tip.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nothing original there Andy, I knicked it from somewhere years ago.....glad it’s of use though.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Put this back on the bench

Looks like an oldy but a goody! Rick H.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nice start Lee.

Dummy Athern NS GP50 being detailed up. Adding headlamp wiring, window wipers, window shades, snow plow, scale couplers, scale metal wheel set, MU hoses, lift rings, grab irons, antennae, air lines & filters, brake lines, sand hoses, and fuel fillers. Also some paint.

 

[Mini Me]

Is Athearn still around? I thought they went the way of Roundhouse models years ago.

Don't know Rick. Been in the stash for about 20 years waiting for me to finish the Athern NS GP60, NS coalgon unit train and resurrect the layout. PaulE

Doggies and riders done......


Here is the calibration shot for those that cannot visualise the size of the figures.....

Very pleased with these. Pictures aren’t bad for an iPad either.....

For those that have put up with me banging on about camera sensors trying to make the largest tone a mid-grey, here it is in action. That wall behind them is a light cream colour, not a grey.

They are now in the cabinet and the spearman are on the blocks.....
Cheers for now....

 

[minitnkr]

A posse to respect. Well done. PaulE

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Paul. Glad you like them.

The all look like they have been chasing "parked" cars. No wonder they look "pissed" Absolutely beautiful paint work and astounding at that scale!! If I am able to produce something not half that good I'll be happy. :thumb2: Well done Tim! Rick H.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Cheers Rick. That’s what happens when they try to bite tailpipes....

 

[outrunner]

Very nice work, especially at that scale.

Andy.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Andy. Kind of you to say so.

 

[Mini Me]

Now that My Airfield Bowser is done I have this back on the bench........I have been trying the back ground trees in different positions and I think I like this best......Didn't want it to look like a Hedge. Rick H.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Rick.
Good to see this back on the bench. It will be a nice scene when completed.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Tim, still waiting for a battery box to arrive...going to tinker with the idea of lighting inside the freight shed......not done this before so......maybe. Rick H.

 

[rtfoe]

Tim, I wouldn't want any of those to chase my tailgate but they're nicely painted.

Cheers,
Richard

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Richard, I wouldn’t want them chasing me either :anguished:
