Finally got these over the line. Need a better way to attach the foot steps they are a right bugger to keep put.

Have you got some trains running around yet. Stunning work. should be great when the Greenery goes on!!

Hi lads, Proceeding with Glacial progress on the Brakes so need to edge them over the line as I more stuff on to go!! On the stripes I tackled them with some masking tape and that failed as the paint got pulled off the brass despite used etch primers, Tried Hand painting them and was not happy with the out come so I turned to my trusty aircraft decal box and pulled out an old extradecal Black Line set I had bought years ago, Well I got a few of em!!. You can get them From Hannants in the UK So in the end I sprayed them Humbrol 69 (the wifes fav Paint colour) gloss yellow,after a few coats left it dry for a week of so and then the fun began!. using a new blade I roughly cut the angles in the Transfers so as to make them match up a bit easier onthe Corners and cut them into 3 pieces an then lined each one up and evenly spaced them as best I could with out losing more hair. I used some setting solution to soften the decals, Its called Microsol and thenI will seal them in with a coat of Gloss varnish or Clear. The one in the pic is still setting as I only put the decals on 5 mins beforehand Thats it really. Sorry about the 1st piccy, dunno what happened. This modelling larks is a battle! Hope that helps. All the best.

I use a nail sissors, curved and Straight types. I solder them, others glued them Same results really but the solder I feel will take bit more punishment!

nice work, Give the Buffers a File Ant to get rid of the Seam line, Thats the only thing the Detracts from the Real Deal.

Shivers me Timbers a Gray one!!!, YOu will repaint it orange though!! Looking forward to me spin down tomorrow, Hope the Kids decide to stay at home

Wow some good work there. Your getting a loads of detail into the space you have!!

I cant get over the Size of this, Its is difficult to put into Perpestive!! Great work. The sound of the longs Trains must be amazing!!.

Lovely Reverse Curve there, Can wait to see the finished Article, Went past this location and you have captured the feel of the Railway brilliantly..

Cheers Lads, This nearly went in the bin as had a couple of mishaps with the finish, Not 100% happy with it but shes done. As a pilot said about the Blackbird, you travel fast but do everything slow. Some great books out the on the BB, Paul Crickmore is one for instance. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/26626.Paul_Crickmore B-58, Say no more, Must dig out the1.48 one I have in storage!! G

1/72 SR-71, Academy issue of the Hasegawa kit. And with its Sister made many years ago.

Paudie, Get the Decals from Des, he has B+I and Bell, HE may have to doe a Bespoke Norfolk one but he is very open to doing new stuff. Drop him a Mail and I can sort ya out. G

I would be worried if I saw a wave seeping into a Coach , Especially in Japan!! Looks mad though.

Great Turnout last night for the meeting Despite the Rain, Held in the shop and de brief till 120am in the Parnell...Bloody hour change is killing me this am! Delighted to see a surprise visitor from Kerry as well who got given a tray of buns for the journey home!!

Class, Glad Darrell Hooked up with you, Told him to give you a shout, His Irish Aer Corps Collection is extremely nice and well presented. with some unusual types built as well other the the Usual Chipmunk and Fouga!.
