popeye Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Here are some wagons that i have been weathering. This wagon was made with a TTA oil wagon chassis made a bit shorter & bits cut off & MIR beer keg containers. The kegs were made by me from plastic tube cut and all stuck together.

Dunluce Castle Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Fantastic weathering, I love the UTA wagons, which wagons did you use? Dapol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 84C Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Brilliant modelling, you must have the patience of Jobe to make all those kegs individually. And the unpainted replacement planking looks spot on. thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just lovely work Popeye. What I find really interesting about your technique is how you've made the overscale coupling hook almost invisible. Just superb! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Absolutely top class, Popeye. The weathering on the metal strapping looks particularly realistic - beginning to rust in most places, and dirty. The unpainted planks on the UTA van bring back memories too! Just one thing - could you drop me off one of those kegs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Pallet Cement Wagon Drawing. This is my drawing of the wagon that i built. I hope it helps anyone wishing to build this wagon. the underframe made from my own mould is ok but needs a lot of work to get it right, so it would not be suitable for sale. Anyway Thanks for all your comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
