OutcastJoel Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Having less woodworking (or topless horseriding) prowess than the chaps above, I would like to join with a white metal and photo etched brass kit of one of these in 1:76 scale: It is a Great Western Railway 517, the photo is not mine and is borrowed from GWR.org.uk which is an awesome resource for anyone looking to model anyΒ GWR subject.Β Β I am planning to build it next year anyway so it would be nice to make it part of a GB if this makes it across the line.

Mjwomack Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 I've been thinking what materials are available Β Resin is Amazin Brass always had class And obviously wood is good Β Working in card can be hard Paper, maybe later Straw! It certainly wouldn't be a bore Β But vac-form is always in form And white metal is very special 3d printing, that's sure to be the next big thingπ Β Β Ok, what have I missed? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul821 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Please could we have a some tactical voting here OR SOME NEW VOTES, so that this one has the required votes (3 at present) to get it over the line for 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 As a Cambridge United supporter I'm used to take defeat on the chin- I've seen us lose at Wembley twice! So in many regards to end up mid-table is a very good season by my standards. Even so, it's gutting to have missed out of the cut for 2020 GBs, even if we are in the 'play-offs' agin for the 2021 poll. Talking of being mid-table though, I'm really grateful to everyone who spent a vote on this multi-media campaign. And we avoided the humiliation of having less than the 30 votes that would have been the number needed to even be in the poll, so thanks everyone. Time for the close season, or actually back to modelling and away from bad jokes and another crack next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Sorry to see this one miss out. I'll vote for it again next year. Meanwhile if time permits I'll build something other-than-injection in 'they also serve' - I'll still have enough options for this GB if it gets up for 2021 - anyone else joining me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To balance the vac-form, I'll take it old school with a cardboard lighthouse that I picked up in Holland (it's amazing what you can pick up over there!!!). The great thing about the They also serve build, is I can then slide straight into the tail end of KUTA 2020 on the 31 Dec and I've made very little progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be silly (not that that usually stops me) to start anything with a house move coming in March. But with the whole year ahead, I'll be along later with something in cardboard with a Dutch theme. Undecided between Schipol airport terminal (the original Art Deco one) or a historic lighthouse. any preferences oh learned ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
