No worries, No trade Secrets, everything is out there and yes I do a wash of a thinned dirty black and more of less take the whole lot of again. I only use he Tenscrom for the fuel and oil, nothing else. For rust I use pastels only as other rust effects are too proud.

any things else just ask.

Just a reminder that were kicking off a bit earlier tomorrow at 1100hrs.

Here is the complete list of who there and what to expect, Check out the Facebook page for more info: https://www.facebook.com/CorkModelFair

Over all it is a mix of exhibits/ Displays and sellers trade and private so hopefully will encourage a few people to take up a new hobby or even re-energise one they had before with a bit of inspiration on what they will see.

Been busy over the last few days but time is not aplenty due to the other half working late evenings, Downside of the cabin is I cant leave the kids inside on their tod so stuck inside the house and the work rate has plummeted...

Done a 071 for myself this week and bunged a sound chip in, Eamons Vids really show the best of the sound off. I have some Taras built of which is one behind the loco. As my tripod is loaned to fiend I have not got shots of those.Had these done for some time but had to finish them off.

I heard the same in Marks on Hawkins Street yesterday. Is it a Marks Models conspiracy?

 

I hope it is, it's a spectacular layout.

Jim spreading the word frm Hawkins street it seems, If it is there which it does not look like it is it would be worth the trip up on Monday for sure. Mind you driving 4 hours in the rain that is forecast does not seem like good fun.

Marks only have the Irish ones, I picked up a mine at an airshow in July, Hope to be able to get some more at Scale Model World in Telford.

I believe they can send to Europe now from what I have read on another board so best give them a ring and see what the current Situation is. Most people at this stage have this postal problem overcome with couriers

Function 15 on the DCC sound Decoder!! LOL

Bitteen of Video. Forgive the Ladies gabbing in the Background

Another dit done today, come up for lunch they said!!, 3 hours work and the Fun bit you could say was started. We saw the 1st engineering trains run on the loop to check clearances etc...any excuse. The Coach brought the directors up to inspect the work.

No Thats DCC Fitted.

This one: http://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=10555

Marks Models have knocked this one down to E119.99, Its the Blue 4 Car EMU. Gonna get one of these myself now!!

I heard last week that Adavoyle was going to make an appearance this year but now I take it is not the case from as it is not on the list?

How good does that look with the Bell Containers!!! nice one ECM...

Id imagine given the price of hiring the venue, the organisers are taking a big financial gamble too. No offence intended to those living outside the capital, but it strikes me as an inflated version of the model farm shows seen around the country - ie 90% diecast models/dioramas. Fine, but you need to be more diverse to call it a hobby show. The MRSI were not contacted and I doubt the SDMRC were either. Granted Im a railway modeller, but I appreciate hobbys and crafts, but they need to look more outside the 'bubble' imo. The hall could easily fit any travelling layout that exists in the country.

 

Will attend, but am curious to see if they can fill the hall at Punchestown completely, and what the mix of trade and exhibitors is like....

Sometimes the clubs have had enough of Exhibiting after a year nearly gone, I found that out with the Cork Fair No Clubs were available to attend. You have additional expenses to meet as well for Traveling to and from the exhibition so sometimes it aint worth the lay out(forgive the pun). A club needs to be started in Cork really....

Still tipping away over the past few days, Time is difficult to come by as herself is working nights so kids need to be looked after.

Using Microsol which softens the decals over a gloss surface this works the decal into the nooks and crannies, never go without the stuff

The Cabs were Sanded down with some 2000 grade wet n dry

The cabs were masked off and chassis n cabs sprayed with the delightful grey colour

The Cabs yellow areas were masked off,make sure you get these on straight as it looks a bit off when done wrong not to mention the waste of time correcting it...Believe me!!!!

The yellow was sprayed using Revell Satin Yellow. Nice finish and Dries quick too.

Also on the go is one of these. I have two to make...MIR 071, Its been re-scribed which takes a fair bit of time..

Also a couple of coaches came through the door and using some 1mm masking tape to mask the Lining off these have come up quite nice.

thats all for now..Off now to listen to the End of Eds indie Disco on Today FM...

Just been flying this baby today, Its second flight. All EPO Foam. 6 Channel, 125mm Wing span (just gets into the Car) Twin Brushless EDF,3300MA Battery and it flies and sounds like the real deal along with a Fantastic Performance. Bring on the Next good day!!!

Great post, If you aint been to the Isle of Man go, Its a great place, Load of Railway stuff and 100 of other things to see as well!!

Mrks Models Will be there, Surprise!!

Those into Plastic kits will have the IPMS Nationals on as well
