  1. Hi @Darius43. I use the same method for glazing, but use perspex with "tape" already covering the surface. Cut and paint then. Have to hand it to you though, I am nowhere as precise as you. Need a sharper knife methinks (and a lot more patience). Yours look great.
  2. Excellent David as per usual. And "Clark and Kent" newsagents? Genius
  3. I can't view that download, but I am sure it's great. Sigh.... Just ordinary uploaded videos for me
  4. Can't view them, but frustratingly, I can hear them
  5. FOC- Free of charge? Maybe..........
  6. Cheers, Dave @DJ Dangerous
  7. Kitchen cabinet doors as bench backs- that's a new one on me. Couldn't be up to that Kerry crowd
  8. Thanks Denis, Patrick
  9. Yes, I can finally see a pic now. Couldn't see any of the downloadable ones above. Probably the windows I'm running (8) is the problem, more than anything on Patrick's @patrick side.
  10. A little more progress......... And a dozen of these fellows......
  11. Love the bridge @patrick. That water looks almost real
  12. Well holy God! Look who's back. Great to see an update @Metrovik. You have been busy. Buildings look great. Will the hotel be getting a roof? Why don't you mix up the colours of the buildings.....
  13. Totally agree. Don't think MM website has been updated in about 27 years or something. You have to find out about new announcements in other ways. Sheesh......... First I heard of 141 rerun was on here.
  14. Those replies are really enlightening lads. Thanks
  15. Excellent. Wonder why the working timetables are stamped confidential in the second pic?
  16. Top class as usual Noel. The running around sequence is excellent. Great to watch, especially with that sound. Love these updates
  17. Thanks for that John- excellent footage. Amazing to see the one guy attempting to stop the rolling wagon alone, and then the three lads pushing the wagon along. Health and safety my eye. And then the boyos loading the cattle. The preferred method seemed to be running around like a lunatic while waving your arms frantically. Then, once cattle are on board apply a swift kick to the cows arse and ram the gate closed. At the end I think them lads were headed for the local. Great stuff
  18. Received a nice email from An Post. For delivery of the tractor and trailer valued at 28.63 euro, they would like 6.57 vat and 4.95 handling charge before they deliver. Spare me........
  19. Thanks Dave@DJ Dangerous, Jonathan@jhb171achill and Alan @Tullygrainey for your replies. Feel a bit like Goldilocks here but Dave, your trailer was too large for what I have in mind, as Jonathan pointed out, and Alan, your suggestion was a little too old era for the look I want. (Although those truck kits are beautiful) I have found a red massey tractor (manufactured mid 60's to mid 70's) and a gray livestock trailer (both Oxford). I think they will suit my purpose just about fine. Again thanks for taking the time to help.
  20. Sorry, not Corgi but Oxford die cast. My mistake. Atkinson Cattle truck, two company names. 76ATKL004 or 76ATKL005.
  21. Lads, does anybody know where I might get a cattle truck for the dock/ yard? Corgi do one (Atkinson) but it is of an older era. I am looking for something more 70's or 80's. Any help would be great, thanks
  22. Thanks Jonathan. A bit to go yet
  23. Fantastic stuff David. Great to see. Agree with Leslie, the buildings are phenomenal. Thanks for sharing
  24. Cheers, Denis
  25. A little more progress on the pens for the cattle dock Posts were made from 3mm x 3mm mahogany, and drilled out individually (some dose). Railings or bars were made from copper wire stripped from electric cable. Some weathering next and then gates. Getting there slowly...........
