Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 Did seeing a limited edition model of just 250 pieces being weathered break your heart? Well done Anthony, keep breaking them hearts! Wait till he sees 111 he will need a defibrillator Quote
Broithe Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Wait till he sees 111 he will need a defibrillator I thought they all had their hearts removed before they left Templemore..? Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 First class job and just like the real mc coy a fresh paint job on dirty bogies. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 This is my own 111 which of course had to be weathered. Looking at photos of the real one I wasn't happy with the red warning panel on the model as it always looks to be a faded dayglow orange and its how I remember the class in that livery so I changed it. Also added were etched brass name plates and kadee couplings permanently attached in the front valance. For those members who have been PMing me wanting to know how to do this there is a how to in the Hints and Tips section of the website. Enjoy the photos 1 Quote
Riversuir226 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Really tasty, the etched nameplates make all the difference:tumbsup: Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 Very nice sir! Who does the etched plates? I had some MIR one's left over Fran Quote

Kirley Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 The fine detail on your weathering looks superb. It's a great skill you have. Quote
jhb171achill Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Wow! Anthony, your weathering jobs look absolutely realistic. It doesn't take just skill with a brush to do that, it takes an extremely finely tuned artistic eye; well done as always. Quote
jhb171achill Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I see Anthony's scenery is just as realistic as his weathering! Have to say when I first saw a pic of the (real) 077, and despite the fact that I am a well known advocate of the all-over grey in GSR/CIE days for steam engines, I thought it looked ghastly, it's ghastliness only exceeded by the new logo. But now I like both..... and naturally, ghastly or not, Anthony's replication of it was always guaranteed to be superb... Quote
BosKonay Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 What a lady Anthony !! and What a difference! Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks for the comments lads a couple of IE 071's should be along in a few weeks Quote
Blaine Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Aaarrrrrgiggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! You should not be whinging, makes all your ones wrapped in cotton wool just that little bit more valuable.... Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Excellent work as per usual and the name plates are the icing on the cake. Quote
Aussie Phil Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Just read all 30 pages of the thread. Each model gets better than the last. Cant believe the quality. Something to aspire too. Thanks for sharing. Cant wait to see more. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Hi Lads, I've come back to the site today. As always it's good to be back among friends and I hope all past issues can be left in the past and we can all move on and run some trains and enjoy this hobby. While I've been away I've been very busy, not just with my layout Ballykay but with my modelling business Weathering Gurus. Here's a few videos to show you gusys what I've been up to. Enjoy! Quote

josefstadt Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Great to see you back on the site Anthony. Love the videos. Ballykay looks like it has gone from strength to strength. I suppose the Station Hotel does rooms by the hour! Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 I think they do a half hour deal between 8/11am Monday to Friday Quote

I hope to be more involved in the comnunity in the future. Welcome back Anthony, I hope your comments will be taken in the sincerity they are intended, and all can move forward with an open, inclusive community for all irish modellers. Quote
DartStation Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Anthony Great to have you back - love the freight 071 - the rust looks like it came from the real loco - keep up the good work Paul R. Quote
StevieB Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 The freight 071 looked just like the real thing - only one thing brought it down to earth, the brakes are in line with the bogie frames rather the wheels - can't help that, it's the way they are made - otherwise brilliant. Stephen Quote
patrick Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I'm delighted to see you back. Looking forward to seeing more of your great work. Quote
