Dunluce Castle Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hello everybody I had been looking at this site for for nearly over a year now, and yesterday I decided to take the plunge and join, and all I can say is that it's fantastic, with lots of inspiration and help, and I will be asking plenty of questions. My name is Nelson and as you can probably tell by the signature below, I am 15 years old. I model the LNER, LMS NCC and UTA, railway modelling has been in my blood ever since I was born, but I took an interest toward irish railway modelling 2 years ago, my locomotive fleet is very small right now but I'm hopping to expand it in the near future, with a 70 class and a V1. Some people may think because of my age, I've had someone else do the job for me. But that's not true, all my models were either scratch built,painted or lined by myself (honest) I will start a workbench thread and a thread on my models very soon, where you can all keep up to date with my loco fleet and what I'm making. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Many thanks Nelson. If anyone is interested this is my youtube channel, where I post videos of the RPSI, exhibitions and our home layout. http://m.youtube.com/channel/UClAScHBnxbWHQsijTXCTZMg?feature=guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Wow, that's stunning You should definitely start a thread in the layout section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UP6936 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Those locos are fabulous! I'm fifteen as well, so they have inspired me to have a go at painting some stuff myself. Next time you paint a loco, you should make a tutorial thread, it would be really helpful to a lot of people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Nelson, Welcome aboard. Those lining pen skills are outstanding. Care to share your equipment and techniques? The layout is superb, and any lad that age with both the skill and interest in NCC/UTA/BCDR/GNRI etc is to be commended. Colmflanagan Mk II perhaps....

Richie Thanks for the welcome guys I wish I knew how to use a lining pen, but I use transfers instead, they look ok to be honest. Colm has helped me lots with my venture into irish railways, so thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunluce Castle Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 One question: would It be ok if I post pictures of my current rolling stock in the "irish models" section?, instead of my workbench thread (I want to keep the workbench thread for future projects) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogle Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Welcome Nelson. You have talent, I get the impression you've learnt a lot from you're dad though I could be wrong. Either way its nice to see another young modeller on here as it's what the hobby needs. Especially one modelling Irish outline! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your spot on, my dad taught me everything I know, but his specialty is military modelling and building layouts. Where as mine are scratch building and kit building railway items such as wagons. Thanks (keep an eye on the irish models section where I will be posting my models soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunluce Castle Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Is it alright to start a layout thread here on the "irish model layouts" section, even though the layout isn't irish it's LNER? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Is it alright to start a layout thread here on the "irish model layouts" section, even though the layout isn't irish it's LNER? You could maybe put it in the British section of the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
