Love the scheme and your brush skills are second to none, in fact really hard to tell (if not impossible) from the photo's Well done sir! Thanks Anthony , very kind fella. The scheme is very interesting and took a lot of coats, there are some brush marks but they are very shallow and for the amount of coats I will take that. 1 hour ago, AliGauld said: That is looking fantastic. The weathering has brought it to life. That wouldn't be George Stephenson's Rocket I see lurking about would it. Cheers, Alistair Thanks Alistair kind of you too. The weathering is starting to bring it to life. Yes that is the Rocket behind . I will one day get it done, I was going to motorised it however, I am using the motor and gear box on an even smaller oo gauge Shefflex railcar. Thanks both Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tony Thanks Tony, very kind and thank you for your assistance too, much appreciated. I am pleased with the model . Currently the combination marker aerial is going on with the fuel tank pylons and hopefully wheels today then can turn it over and add the last few bits.

Very impressive!!!! Thanks Richie, I did do a small amount of scratch work on the inside before I realised none of it can be seen, fortunately the paint work makes up for it. Hopefully may finish tonight as I told SWMBO I had to take care of a job in the mancave and finished painting and glosee the prop blades ready for decals which I will do later. Don't tell her though!!! Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
