Well after festive period modelling in 3mm I have been moving forward part started kits that have been haunting...
kits bar the GUV are all Worsley Works etched scratch aids - but in 3mm are more complete having been core works.
GUV is MTK and brake tender is a 3mm Society kit, on LMS bogies. Mk2s - the non aircon coaches were mainly done but forth was an impulse purchase at a second hand society meet up in the summer and has thus to be the fastest kit ever done. The Belle has complex Pullman stepped in ends and was a good faff to get this far.
The MK 2 Ds air cons ( coffins) in last photo have got underframes well on the way but I discovered that having glued roof on I had failed to allow space to glue in the in door vent casting. Few hours spent filling and sanding holes ready for a making vent from scratch. Next job will be roof vents over next few days.
Hope this adds to the forum as normally in awe of works done on here.
