Hello everyone,
Sorry for not updating sooner, but here it is, the completed hurst Nelson wagon and bachmann wagon.
A fair amount of filing and cutting down had to be done, mainly because I glued the buffer beam/headstocks too far back resulting in the solebars and body being too long, but here it is completed, I was planing to have it empty but I didn't like the colour of the inside wood so I jus added a coal load and personally i think it looks more better with the coal load added.
I followed the instructions and left out the brake gear on one side and painted per instructions, the strapping took ages to complete but I like the finished look of it, it stands out from the rest of the wagons.
Weathering consited of some rust and oil stains to the Underframe and a light weathering coat applied to the body.
Now the bachmann wagon, all I did to this was added some real coal and repainted the Underframe, looks much better than before in my eyes,
Also what I am currently beginning work on is a GNRI resin cattle wagon kit,
Many thanks
Nelson
