Here's a few photos of a couple of otherlocos I have finished in the last few months. The Queen is from a Scorpio kit and the M7 from a Laurie Griffin kit. Painting by Warren Haywood and photos by Mick Davies.
The 2-2-2 is a truly delightful model, and top-notch in every way, but I gotta admit I pressed the "like" for the weathered M7, which I can identify with.
Jeez, Nick, that M7 must have taken a lot of work. It's a fantastic build, but the faults in the kit (especially around the ashpan and rear bogie) unfortunately remain. As you know, there are easier ways...
I'm with Larry.
The Queen looks to be beautifully modelled and painted, but it doesn't do a thing for me.
The M7, on the other hand, despite any inaccuracies/errors alluded to by Steph, absolutely looks the part to me even though I'm not that interested in the prototype.
Lovely modelling Nick, as always.
Dave.
