Pete in Lincs Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 That was some catch up! I found the thread again and I'm hugely impressed. Beautiful wagons and loco's. Very nice weathering indeed. I think I might still have some OO gauge Deutsch Reichsbahn decals, I've had them since the 80's, but no help to you. Sorry.

Golikell Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 @Pete in Lincs Thank you so much for the compliments. I always am grateful when people appreciate what I do. It means that I am on the right track. As for the decals, these kits are in scale 1:35, which is closer to scale 1. Thank you for the offer, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made some minor additions: I added a lamp made from a bead and a small piece of evergreen round to each light. I had to drill out the rear lights for this, otherwise the glazing would not fit... Also added grab handles to the top, and nuts and bolts to the running gear... Edited January 28, 2021 by Golikell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Determining the length of the tracks needed and putting the train together for the first time. Nice looking set, me thinks… I actually need twice that length, but then parallel. I made a miscalculation though: with the Sabre models kit, there is a piece of rails too, which I hoped to include with this MiniArt track. Allas, that is not the case: besides the fact that the sleepers have slightly different dimensions, the spacing is so different, that is is impossible not to note this. So I have to order another box of MiniArt track 😕 Some news on the decal front… After some mail traffic with CMK, they reported that no sheet could be traced. BUT, they sent me the digital original! I found a decal printer overhere in the Netherlands, which printed me a sheet… It was not cheap, but, as they printed only on A4 size anyway, I had them printed 8x… And they are on... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Erwin, I've just done a huge catch up I must apologize as I seem to have forgotten this superb build. It all looks rather incredible, and I will make sure to keep dropping by to appreciate your skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Thanks Pete, I am curently busy with the weathering of the diesel... Pinwash (black) has been applied an so is the oil dot filter (burned umber). Now waiting for the filter to dry and I can go loose with pigments.. I am affraid that after finishng the loc, the updates will not be as spectacular. Rails, figs, accessories and eventually the base will be next...

Golikell Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 A milestone has been reached. All rolling stock/vehicles are finished now, and I am very content with the result. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Aren't you really cheating? Really really? Looks like you're using photos of real trains, and after making the montage with photoshop, tell us that you made them yourself Looks stunning 👍 Vytautas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I take that as a compliment 😉I wish my Photoshop skills were that good... 🙄 But I didn't alter the photos in any way... 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I wanted to say that your work looks very impressive 👍 Apparently I joked unsuccessfully, forgive me... Vytautas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Of course I know you were joking... If I didn't, I probably would have reacted rather differently... 🤭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
