popeye Posted April 6, 2014 Author Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Here are some wagons that i have been weathering. This wagon was made with a TTA oil wagon chassis made a bit shorter & bits cut off & MIR beer keg containers. The kegs were made by me from plastic tube cut and all stuck together.

Dunluce Castle Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Fantastic weathering, I love the UTA wagons, which wagons did you use? Dapol?
Mike 84C Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Brilliant modelling, you must have the patience of Jobe to make all those kegs individually. And the unpainted replacement planking looks spot on. thanks for posting.
scahalane Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Beautiful modelling and weathering. Good idea with the beer kegs.
BosKonay Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Just gorgeous. The subtlety of weathering and attention to detail really sets them apart.
StevieB Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I can only agree with all the other comments - wonderful bits of work. Stephen
Glenderg Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Just lovely work Popeye. What I find really interesting about your technique is how you've made the overscale coupling hook almost invisible. Just superb! R
jhb171achill Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Absolutely top class, Popeye. The weathering on the metal strapping looks particularly realistic - beginning to rust in most places, and dirty. The unpainted planks on the UTA van bring back memories too! Just one thing - could you drop me off one of those kegs?
popeye Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) PALLET CEMENT WAGON. Here are some pic's of a pallet cement wagon scratch built by me. Using my own underframe that i made with a mould & the main body was built with Wills Kits box steel plastic sheets, all the rest is made of plastic. Buffers by MJT 2350, Chain from Cambriam Models 1 metre 33 links per inch £7.90. Edited September 9, 2014 by popeye 1
Noel Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Sublime - absolutely top class modelling. I love the subtle colouring and weathering.
Mayner Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Popeye Lovely job on the pallet cement especially the large wheels.
scahalane Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Fantastic bit of scratch building, and very nice weathering, well done.
iarnrod Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Superb piece of scratchbuilding there. Two questions - would you consider releasing the 20' wagon base for sale and any chance of posting the dimensions or a drawing of the pallet cement wagon please? Thanks
BosKonay Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Gorgeous! One of the best examples of that wagon I've ever seen!
Kirley Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Superb modelling right down to the fine chains used. One to be rightly proud off.
Warbonnet Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Stunning modelling. Top work as always Popeye!
popeye Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Studio Scale Models GN Brakevan. Here are two pic's of the brass kit brakevan, it's one i done a while back but only took some photo's the other night. 1 1
heirflick Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 i echo what the lads - superb work! great info on the parts for the cement esp the location of the buffer supplier - thanks for that:tumbsup:
RedRich Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Truly excellent example of scratch building on the pallet cement. The SSM brake van is a top job also. Rich,
Glenderg Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Ah here popeye, that's class. The j-hangers on the pallet wagon - explain please, iVe been fighting them for some time. They make it so irish. R.
scahalane Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The quality of your work is only sublime. Keep them coming.
enniscorthyman Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Superb work there pop eye, very impressive.
popeye Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Pallet Cement Wagon Drawing. This is my drawing of the wagon that i built. I hope it helps anyone wishing to build this wagon. the underframe made from my own mould is ok but needs a lot of work to get it right, so it would not be suitable for sale. Anyway Thanks for all your comments. 1
David Holman Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 That is one fine wagon & a very subtle paint job too.
scahalane Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks for sharing the drawing. The model looks excellent.
Junctionmad Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Could you detail the processes in doing the resin moulding, what were the masters made off etc. dave
popeye Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 Cement Bubble Wagon. This is my first Bubble wagon and it took a lot of work but it turned out ok i think. It's my own moulded underframe and bubble is by D&M Models MJT Buffers 2350, Brakepipes 2950, Brass etch detail by SSM. Here are some pic's. 1 1
Dunluce Castle Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 That is beautifully weathered, nicely done
Mike 84C Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Top notch modelling and the weathering just sets the bubbles off.
