beefy66 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Quote Very quiet here Oi, Andy, Keith !! Hopped it to the local as soon as I get distracted ? To much time at work for me mate just not getting any time at the model bench at the minute plus my son has just got the keys to his first house so trying to get him moved ASAP so I can make plans for a new model room instead of a cold garage Beefy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Keith ! Thanks Julian the fenders were made from an old curtain tie back will try and get them fitted soon but still have to make up the nose piece seen some very different ones in the reference I have.

beefy66 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Well gave the track black a try but not impressed in the end I just painted them using Mr Hobby Metal-coat or is that metallic coat and buffed up the high spots will start to add the rust washes when I get the fenders fitted also added the anchor that was painted in the same way as the track but I have added some wash and pastels to it 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
