David Holman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 A little gem. Continues to amaze me how plain, ugly even, buildings can make such attractive models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes just lighting a building is enough to liven up it's appearance and give the illusion that something is going on inside. But to have a detailed interior like this makes all the difference. Top job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertRoche Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Thanks everyone. This is a background scene so I really haven't gone overboard on it. The interior will be lit and the confuser will be plugged in. The figure is from China and they usually find themselves in carriages after getting their legs chopped off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Very nice Robert. I remember seeing the real thing in Waterford east and it definitely stood out. Your model captures it really well. Rich, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Nice to have in model form, even more so because it was a one off. Definitely adds a little more interest when its seen mixed amongst the beet wagons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shrives Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 The PC is well observed of its day. Internal details add a lot even if it is only known to one ! But now we all know ... brilliant work and thanks for showing. Robert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertRoche Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Currently on the workbench is this paint job which required plenty of masking. There are some areas that have suffered from overspray and poor finish before I hand paint some details and add decals. The lighting circuits will also require some work to get the appropriate headlights. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonB Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Not an easy livery to get right. That's a great job, considering the amount of masking involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertRoche Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 (edited) Thanks, this is the Bachmann class 150. The only alteration that I made was to remove the driver's door on one side, remove the exhaust and remove some of the roof ridges towards either end. I started with black and masked off the lining using 0.5mm tape. I then applied the white, blue, green and yellow ends in that order. Overall I am satisfied with how it came out but there are a significant amount of paint errors to correct.
