Darius43 Posted October 22 Author Posted October 22 2 hours ago, Horsetan said: Half-seriously, but do you have any royal or aristocratic ancestors? Not that I am aware of. My father was Indian (Parsee religion) and my mother is English of Irish descent (Buckley and Duffy) so no royal blood. Cheers Darius
Darius43 Posted Sunday at 14:14 Author Posted Sunday at 14:14 The point rodding is a prominent feature of the Magheramorne Loop so this was fitted using the Wills cosmetic point rodding kits. The Wills rodding is nicely detailed but difficult to fit together as it relies on butt joint gluing rod ends together. Much easier said than done… Cheers Darius 7 1 2

Tullygrainey Posted Sunday at 15:19 Posted Sunday at 15:19 Wonderful modelling all round. Beautifully neat work on the rodding too. Having wrestled with those Wills kits recently, I know what's involved. I'm still trying to get all the ends to stay joined up!

Darius43 Posted Monday at 07:58 Author Posted Monday at 07:58 Added a couple of 3D printed Humber Pigs to the line-up. I remember queuing up with my Mum and sister to see the film Grease outside the Avenue Cinema in Belfast one evening in 1978, whilst these vehicles were preparing to go out on patrol in the Grand Central Hotel (requisitioned by the army) next door. That cinema was a real flea pit. My mum wouldn’t let us go to it again. It was knocked down in the late 1980s along with the hotel to make way for the Castle Court Shopping Centre. Cheers Darius 7

Darius43 Posted yesterday at 17:00 Author Posted yesterday at 17:00 Whiterock Station down platform built from 2mm card stock. I traced the edge profile using a pencil held against the centre of one of the CAF3000 coaches. Platform edging and paving added using photo paper strips cut to size - matt side up (mostly).
