[Rob Pulham]

Very nice Ian

 

[Ian G]

both wagons where enterd in the club competion on Friday, the pipe was the only wagon in its catagory, and the MR 5t was beaten my a few others, its nice to see other modellers in the club obtaining a high standard, I may just get 6 more 12t pipes from Tower models.

You wont regret that Ian. I was just saying to Chris this morning about what a difference having somewhere to spray no matter what the weather is doing is

 

[Ian G]

A few hours of spraying.

1st Croc done the other in a day or 2, I have not used decent waterslide transfers since Scale Model Transfers started up, thin carrier film and should sit nicely over detail, I used Humbrol Transfix & Revell acrylic matt varnish brushed on.

Must remember to bring camera down the club, on the work bench a set of MMP diamond frame bogies to go under an ABS LMS 40t flat/bolster wagon.

The next wagon on my vast list is an ex LMS 40t bogie bolster.
An ABS kit with MMP diamond frame bogie.
The wagon was built by using photos and drawings as I have lost the instructions, still a few more bits to add to it.
I could not get my head around the cast bogies so I opted for some MMP bogies.

The basic wagon.


The bogies are being built on a club night, no castings in the kit.
