Mayner Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Brilliant, the germans on the Fermoy platform are borderline Pythonesque. Nothing compared with yer-man who turned up in Anasaul during the Emergency and asked the local Garda "ven is der next train to Dralee? Quote

WT CLASS 2-6-4T No. 4 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Hi Glenderg, any chance of the dimensions for spoil containers. As I'm new to scratch building I thought it would be a good project to start with. Been looking through your work bench thread, which is amazing, but could not find any measurements listed. Thanks in advance for your help. Walter. Quote
Glenderg Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Walter, You'll need 1.5 x 1.5mm and 1.5 x 1.0mm evergreen styrene strips, along with some 0.25mm plain styrene sheet. Hope the attached .pdf is of help. Any hassle with it, just shout. http://www.glenderg.com/drawings/Spoil_Containers.pdf Richie Quote
WT CLASS 2-6-4T No. 4 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks for that Richie. Walter. Quote
Glenderg Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 O Gauge G613 currently in the paint shop. Should be seen on Dorset Junction soon, possibly Easter in Wexford Not often stuff arrives at my door in an aluminium flight case without a pair of russian/south american heavies accompanying the goodies. This time it was just wrenn, with a sratchbuilt 0 gauge G Class, in all over black without markings, windows, nor decent budget. Have a nice flight dave. Am sure she'll still be here when you get back.... (taking offers...) R. Quote
heirflick Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 drop dead georgous! what other treasures does Wrenn have stored away? Quote
burnthebox Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Bloody Hell Marvelous, now where's the oo gauge one,or two, or maybe even three, Quote
Glenderg Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Lads, apologies for not being so active on the forum this last while. It seems I've dropped out of the habit of taking photos as I go, so it's hard to put together a useful post. But I found one! Riversuir of this parish many months ago mentioned how he wanted to tackle the MKIII Restaurant, something that is usually a "spray and pray" affair. Windows all wrong, in fact barely close to the irish prototype, but I reckoned there was an alternative way to tackle it. Here goes:(( Bog standard MKIII as provided by Warbonnet. Remove interior glazing, seating, and all overscale window frames that sit on the outside... Fill up the last four windows.. Cook for a few hours. This is where I forgot to take any more snaps, but I filled the bits with filler and after sanding and painting the seats a sort of "off purple/blue" ended up here. Bit more sanding as the Lima roof to body joint is fairly prominent. Added the vents too from styrene sheet sanded down. This is where innovation comes in! I designed this little paint guide for MKIII's that ensures my masking tape goes on at the right level to match the windows and is straight and level every time. This is the version I did where it's a full white band in the middle and I fill in with Black. Penguin claw on the left.... So I have a coach with a few important windows missing and a decal on the side. Not a restaurant it makes... Quote
Glenderg Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Tried the Humbrol Gloss Varnish at this stage, and I the whole coach "bloomed" white - too much water vapour - and re-decaled and sorted. This is where I came up with another innovation which you may have spotted on Kirley's workbench. A glazing solution, which I hope to make available shortly to other scratchbuilders. It consists of a machine cut and etched 0.12mm clear glazing panel that sits on the outside of the coach, much like the real deal. It even has the scale rubber trim around the outside. So this is how "Azyglaze™" works in practice having applied them to the right parts of the coach.... The same principle applied to the weird and wonderful "Cafe/Bar" coach An almost full rake of "tweaked" Lima MKIII's along with my babies, including a scratchbuilt EGV in the foreground. Coming soon - Ballast ploughs, and the 12 month trial and error of design that went into manufacturing the above pair, and reproducing them over and over again. Warts and all... Richie. Quote
ttc0169 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Simply stunning work Richie-I really like 6402 the café/bar,well done :tumbsup: Quote
Kirley Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Your glazing panels are a great idea and it's good to see how it should be done. Keep the innovations coming. Quote
Ral2011 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Great work, especially the idea withe the glazing, so the egde and the white stripe are clean and crisp. Quote
burnthebox Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 An absolute Master at work, pure genius, & that's why I don't do modelling, Quote
Glenderg Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Cheers Lads for all the kind comments. I think your pair are a bit filthier shem! Quote
