    No they're not. Please learn to take Noel with a pinch of salt, he has a talent for..... hyperbole shall we say.

    The thing I would most like to see is the addition of a stay alive. I was disappointed that the 121's didn't come with that capability. I'd have happily given up the see-through grills in favour of the stay alive. Pre fitted speaker would also be nice, even though the older 141 wasn't too badly served in that respect as it had the speaker cradle included. All in all there was very little to criticize with original Baby GM's. They still hold up very well IMHO.

    If you're talking weathering, every post should bring more excrement!

    Excellent! Same techniques as on the Ferts and container flats?
  8. irishthump
    Like the subtle variations. Very nice work.

    The concrete hardstanding looks excellent.

    I've a huge backlog of stuff to be weathered, but I think a couple of these will be bumped to the top of the queue!

    Weathered a couple of Lima Mk2's over the weekend. Although their obviously not the most detailed models they can be made to look pretty presentable and they run very well. Weathering was mainly enamel washes with a little dusting of the underframe and bogies with the airbrush.

    I view it on my laptop and I don't feel it's a great hardship to close the ad when it pops up. Remember, if you don't have to pay to keep something running then you should be able to accept a slight inconvenience.

    What model is it? Different manufacturers need different chemicals to strip the paint.
  18. irishthump
    That was done by giving the model a coat of Testor's Dullcote then airbrushing a coat of a grimy brown mix of Tamiya paint. When that is touch dry, use a soft brush moistened with 50/50 IPA and water and start to remove the paint in downward strokes. The mottling occurs when the Dullcote reacts with the IPA.

    Here’s a couple of extra pics as I’d forgotten to add the buffer grease!

    German “U Boat”, a Piko BR 119. This one was crying out to be grunged up! Hopefully I didn’t overdo it…
  22. irishthump
    Thanks for that. Scrap metal loads are always fun to make!
  23. irishthump
    More filthy goodness! These are a couple of HO German wagons. By the way, does anybody know what type of load would typically be carried in the wagon shown in the last picture?

    A little weathering…. Did the first of my 42’ flats and a 20’ container.
  25. irishthump
    Wow! They are really good.
