"Voiding the Warranty" - Mol's experiments in 21mm gauge
popeye replied to Mol_PMB's topic in Irish Models
They look great and the roof detail does make them stand out from other models. Shades of green are always a problem. Mix your own to get the colour you are happy with. You can't go by photo's but it helps. In real life they were varied and aged so pick a shade you like. -
You do need to experiment with resins to find one that can flex enough without snapping. I have some CK Prints wagons and they are ok with putting wheels in.

4 wheel wagons don't usually need rocking W-irons and underframes could be made with a more flexible resin to get the wheels in.

Hornby Hand Crane. These are old with black base and red or yellow crane. I have painted the whole thing grey and then weathered it. Removed the oversized chains and replaced with 0.5mm string. Little metal hand cranks have also been added.
