BR Mk1 Limabuild coaches

[rosspeacock]

Oh dear SWMBO just text the're on the way home and there's black Lima dust and filings all over the kitchen
Ha Ha
Next job will be to get the other 2 sides done, cut down the BG to length, remove and file out all the window apertures ready to fit Easybuild windows, drill out sides for hinge/handles/door rebound bumpers etc clean up and put a new plasticard solebar onto the sides before re-fitting and building out with plastruct section to the required width, don't expect a speedy progress on these Ha Ha.. Making a list for Shawn Kaye of stuff I need for Kettering, need a few bits off Dick 'Westadale' too (rebound buffers for doors and end steps) I'll not be putting sprung buffers on this batch either just Kadees...

Hi Ross,

Glad to see that you are - subversively - modelling again!

Watch out about modelling on those posh work-tops (counters), especially when SWMBO is inbound!!

Looking forward to seeing more soon

have you not finished that little job off yet you are slacking mate, I am quite shocked, that a man worthy of a 1200 quid kitchen table to model on is dragging his heals

Phill's query about thread longevity posted here has been moved to a new thread for discussion and feedback as I think it is a wider discussion than just this Limabuild thread.

Hi all, resurrected an ancient thread here.. Had a tinker tonight, made some brake hangers and linkages from plasticard, think they improve the lima rubbish which I cut away, also fitted a dynamo which I bought many years ago from Model Express..
