scahalane Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Looking good Eamonn, you got the right tones to it. I think the weathering powder might be a little too much but the washes look spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the weathering powder might be a little too much but the washes look spot on. I have 3 more wagons to do,so I plan to go a bit lighter on the weathering for the them.

jhb171achill Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Does anyone know why Bell containers had different coloured roofs? Was it just different livery variations, or to denote different contents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nice job Eamonn,i picked up a mixture of 20 and 40' bell's at the raheny show the year before last and still have nothing to put them on,seeing that i really have to get around to getting some 42' flats for them they look so good.

White painted roofs act as an effective solar reflector to reduce the internal temperature from daytime mean of 50c to 38c.

enniscorthyman Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Just started another an post model with a Iveco/Ford Oxford Die cast getting a scratch built tail lift,and still a good bit of painting to be done. Made a start on SF 001 class body which is getting it's SSM brass detail. Finally MM 203 was aquired last week and she is a nice machine -but god is it hard to get that front skirt in place on the detailed end.
