This will be my third build in this GB. The Higgins boat is nearly finished and I have committed to building a dockside for it (thread yet to be started) but any dock needs a crane so enter: the 50 year + old Airfix model now made by Dapol For an old mould, and "recycled plastic" the amount of flash is minimal, ejector pin marks are common, most are hidden but these need addressing, another major issue is the ladder which I am removing and replacing but progress is progressing fast

BR Standard Class 9F 92220 Evening Star Dapol Kitmaster OO I have recently completed this for the Made in Britain II Group Build and thought that I would share my efforts here. I used the Dapol Kitmaster Evening Star kit and removed the moulded handrails before replacing them with Alan Gibson parts, I also replaced the simpler sections of pipework with Albion Alloys micro-tubing. The decals are from Fox Decals and nameplates are Modelmaster UK etch. I brush painted the green with Phoenix Precision BR Loco Green (Post '54). The couplings are from Smiths and other additional parts are GEM white metal. I then decided to have a look for some crew figures and came across a company called Modelu based in Wales, and they offer 3D printed crew figures in several scales. In the past I have bought crew and had difficulty getting them to fit, but these were perfect and once painted up they add that bit of life to the footplate. Future plans include the making of a small diorama with the loco running light, so at some point in the future you will probably see it making an appearance there too. by John Leigh, on Flickr by John Leigh, on Flickr by John Leigh, on Flickr by John Leigh, on Flickr by John Leigh, on Flickr
