1/32 Scale Mountfleet Round Table Minesweeper
Georgeconna replied to Georgeconna's topic in Aviation & Maritime Modelling
Good Afternoon Gents, Looking forward to the weekend now! Still working away on this one, Lots of tidying up with the white metal parts and my order from Cornwall Model Boats arrived with the replacement cowl vents which look fab, I think they look to be 3D printed. I was hoping to have the sound unit installed but these are not able from Action just yet so I have installed the speaker and I will work on how to install the other wiring but the next big step will be the deck and after placing all the bits n bobs on the deck I noticed something is just not right....... As per the photo I have the Main Deck Level as the bubble indicates (these are not calibrated BTW!) Also the Superstructure stuff is not glued on so don't panic! (just yet!) -
I'd be banging up and few words and some good photos and sending them off to Model Rail, Get a few quid for yourself too. Smashing job on the magnet gubbins too!

they did and it was a tiny metal Washer that went over the bogie pivot pin. I got them but never actually got around to stick em in. US Market Gray option I'd say. Last pic is off the rails Dave? loosing your touch?

And TBH I though 60 notes was a heavy enough price!

Wow! New Coach sets from Accurascale
Georgeconna replied to Georgeconna's topic in British Outline Modelling
Nah Following the footsteps of Hattons and Hornby. may as well cash in I suppose. Lots of thought went into these and it creates a massive cost saving for modellers on a budget. Inter changeability will be the next thing, Swapping coach bodies on a generic chassis. Cant wait for my stuff to come. I would actually love to see this up on the Ebay to see what you get for them! -
Order gone in lads. finger on the pulse as usual! https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/163570-new-accurascale-coach-range-welcome-to-our-haulmark/

I just used Copper clad PCB board cut down and the wires soldered directly to that. It seems all sorts of fancy stuff out there now. Are these the ones the Wexford lads used on the O Gauge Layout?

And the Boat Yard is on O/T this week. Windows in, Gun Platform more or less done I need to get better cowl vents and the ones supplied are just very poor and too thin to tidy up as per the pics and the hole that has appeared in the one I tried to do. and the leccy stuff is being worked on and where best to place what is needed where, Although it is s huge hull the batteries and smoke unit take up -
NOCH 15959 for those figures Dave.

With a week off managed to tip away between the Garden and the Shed so a good jump in progress. I had to replace the lost rivets and used snipped Peco track pins for the Rivet heads. With some consultation and research I have discovered these ships were painted in Home Fleet Grey which was a much darker shade which now makes the ship more sinister and war like! Humbrol 145 was used, initial coat with pre shading done. -

Bing Live Steam Loco Gauge O - Repair & Restoration
Georgeconna replied to murrayec's topic in ECM Model Trains
That's a right ol shame, Happened to Crosshaven's track too, in the end it was ripped up. I imagine there is just not the interest here to support this type of engineering modelling in Ireland. the missus came across a Video of it in the 80's recently, Was jammed packed too. When I lived in Hounslow in the 80s I used to pop up to Harlington on Sunday am to watch their live steam stuff- 24 replies
