Kirley Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Anthony put up pictures recently of his repaint of a J17 and I have just come across on the RM Web a make of a J15 from a TMD kit now incorporated in the SSM range. It is a brass kit and I look with envy at those who can build these kits. See it here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/8611-studio-scale-models-irish-j15-4mm/
Glenderg Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Very very impressive work, and a stunning result. I'm really taken by the rivet detail, and the tender elements. Hard to believe it comes from a kit tbh. Congrats to 5XP and Des .
Weshty Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Thanks Glenderg. Yup, this guy did one of the finest builds I've seen in a long time, and his photography is first class. He was also good enough to let me use the photos as needed, very handy, as a photo is worth six paragraphs of description. If you do decide to go for a kit, I'd start with a tank, (T2, J26 or B4). The J15 is a little bit trickier.
Mayner Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Georgeconna has recently published a build on an SSM Bandon Tank http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/66331-studio-scale-models-bandon-tank-4-6-0/?hl=%2Bbandon+%2Btank The Bandon Tank B4 and GNR SG with their slot and tab construction may be an easier build than the earlier kits like the T2 & J26.
jhb171achill Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 That is a truly outstanding bit of work - he has played a blinder there! The finish is just right, accurate, extremely realistic.

I already posted this link this morning in Irish Models section and am surprised that no one has commented on George's great work on this model
jhb171achill Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 True.... first time I've been on interweb today....... was in Temple Bar photo archive all day...
Guest hidden-agenda Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 This j15 build is absolutely excellent one of the tidiest jobs i have ever seen.
