Western Thunderer
Moving on from introducing myself on the new members page, I have come to Area 51 to start things off. Should I ever be asked to go Great Western again, then I'll take the trouble to post there.
The first item here is 4mm scale and an ex-LNER B2. I'll record progress as I go and post it here.
Other 4mm scale projects planned for inclusion for the coming year (at least) ought to be an ex-LNER K3 and LNER O1, LSWR D15 and maybe something else if things go well. If any of my clients read this, I hope they're reassured by this public statement!
Looking ahead some distance, future plans include scratch built projects in 7mm scale or even 1/32. These require interested and genuine patrons or clients to commit for some time before hand. Compared to the 4mm scale work I have concentrated on I hope to make a further step forward in detail commensurate with the change in scale, with as many parts machined or turned as possible. To maintain a grain of cost effectiveness, they will be built in 3's as a minimum, unless someone is happy to take on a unique bespoke project.
Best regards
Tom Mallard
