Mayner Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Excellent work on a very distinctive pair of wagons Nelson. T The finish on the little 4wheeler reminds me of the open wagons I saw during my first journey on NIR in 1980, the GNR & SLNCR used low sided 6 wheel wagons for carrying ballast a few of the GNR ones survived into the 1970 Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Thank you very much everyone ^ Quote
islandbridgejct Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Those are very realistic - the planks look like wood and the solebars like metal. Lovely standard of observation and rendering. Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Hello everyone. My PG class is near enough finished now and ready for painting. Thanks Nelson Quote
Sulzer201 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Epic work here, congratulations on a fab piece of work. Quote
richrua Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Wowzee. always worth checking Nelsons workbench! well done. Quote
Kirley Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Looking forward to seeing it after painting but your before shots shows the detail you have added to this very impressive conversion. Quote
Mike 84C Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Very fine work Nelson and congratulations. I look forward to seeing the loco painted and the next project, wonder what that will be?? Mike Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Like yourself, Richrua, I always sit up and take notice when "Nelson's Workbench" pops up among new threads. "What's he up to this time?".... Naturally, same as usual. Just plain old top class innovative, artistic, and technically brilliant modelling. Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Thank you very much everyone for your comments, I'll probably get it painted on Monday as im busy all weekend then weathering and more detailing is to go on the next project is going to be sitting my exams, so no more after this one till the exams are over, but I'm sure what I have in mind for after the exams will be something special Nelson Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Lovely work again Nelson,well done.Best wishes with your exams,if your commitment to them is as good as your modelling then you will have nothing to worry about. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Fair play Nelson, a great job. Best of luck in exams. Quote
burnthebox Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Nelson, as said your modelling skills are exemplary, so I have no doubt your studying skills will live up to your usual standards, the very best, Quote
Weshty Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Sweet job and well done. Great use of styrene to kit bash a model Quote
David Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Excellent work Nelson. Looking forward to seeing this one painted! Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Thank you very much everyone ^ Hello everyone, Not much done to the engine except it's primer coat has been applied, I've been stuck in bed all week with some sort of flu/fever so that's why. And to make things even better the tender dropped out of my hands taking off the steps and weight inside. Ah well. We learn from our mistakes I guess and from the primer coat it's easy to see what areas need to be improved before the black goes on. Nelson Quote
burnthebox Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Jesus Nelson stop with the excuses, that loco looks totally the absolute busines, half finished or otherwise, your skills are an example to all, now get out of that bed & finish it, PS, for that dose, get all the Vitamin C you can get your hands on, & pour it down, well done Quote
StevieB Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 it also puts me in mind of the SECR 01 class. Excellent piece of work. Stephen Quote
Mike 84C Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Superb work Nelson, you really are raising the bar! Now for the flu stuff, echinacea tablets, cod liver oil capsules and lots of the vitamin C as advised by burnthebox, all from tesco and worked for me. And we really do want you painting very soon! :-tb Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Thanks guys, don't worry about the illness it's on the mend anyway and soon enough I'll be able to race on with this. Quote
patrick Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Wonderful work as always Nelson. You are inspiration to us all. Quote
Chevron Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 more than twice your age but i dont even have a tenth of your skill. Great work. Quote

Dunluce Castle Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 Hello everyone!!!!!!! Blimey! After 10 weeks of no modelling and a ton of exams, I'm now free.....until August but shhhhhh, we shan't worry about that now last exam was today and 6 hours after It I finished these 2 wagons, they are ratio LMS coal wagons, 2 wagons came with the box and I built them at the same time. It's my first ratio wagon kit surprisingly enough and they are excellent, I mean wow, so good to put together, no fuss what so ever so well done to ratio! I might get some more haha.i may do one in LMS NCC colours and the other in LNWR livery . It's so good to be back modelling again I have some projects planned for summer but it's mostly whatever I pick up next I will build. Nelson Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 I forgot to post pics of what my PG class currently looks like so here it is as it stands. Still a bit more to do, cab number, cab details and some tidy up, apologize for the poor picture quality, must be due to the low light. Nelson Quote

I've finished the 2 wagons, one NCC and the other LMS, I had fun weathering the former and I also finished this airfix king tiger, some modification but overall a lovely kit to build (apart from the tracks) Thanks, Nelson Quote
