Warbonnet Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Ah here... pics, please! I'll get some next time! Quote
Weshty Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Clucking bell. That is scratchbuilt?? In OO gauge? I'm frankly lost for superlatives. Saying "Very impressed" hardly cuts the mustard Quote
Warbonnet Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Clucking bell. That is scratchbuilt?? In OO gauge? I'm frankly lost for superlatives. Saying "Very impressed" hardly cuts the mustard Scratch built in O gauge Des. Beast doesnt even cover it. Quote
Garfield Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Scratch built in O gauge Des. Beast doesnt even cover it. Keep getting drawn back to that picture to admire the man's craft. Tell you what, I'd be careful around him as he seems to have other-worldly powers. It looks like he's channeling the spirit of Cyril Fry... Quote

GSR 800 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 How did he get the rivets like that. Looks so realistic Quote
Warbonnet Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 How did he get the rivets like that. Looks so realistic Rivet punch, a good eye, steady hands and a good eye. Quote
GSR 800 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 haha will take pics in future lads, promise! You promised?(cough) Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Can't wait to see that one finished - a stunning model indeed. Quote
Weshty Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Rivet punch, a good eye, steady hands and a good eye. A GW Models Rivetting tool makes it very straightforward. (Finally) got to use mine recently and was very impressed with it. A good eye still helps though Quote
Horsetan Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 If it's done by who I think did it he goes from scratch. Prolific is the word! He'd be the Irish Guy Williams. Quote
GSR 800 Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 He'd be the Irish Guy Williams. Indeed! Wonder if he has built any more of these brilliant works of art... Quote
Warbonnet Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Indeed! Wonder if he has built any more of these brilliant works of art... According to the latest gauge o guild circular he's done 461, I'd say it's finished by now. I haven't been able to get to the club rooms due to work commitments but I'm hoping to return in the next few weeks. Quote
murrayec Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Hi Guys This is one of his scratch diesels, he takes it so far and then the owner finishes off;- http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5379-Class-C-7mm-Model?p=85546&viewfull=1#post85546 Eoin Quote
Weshty Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Sharp intake of breath there. Very very nice. Suitably "roundy" looking. Quote
murrayec Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Weshty Yes, the comparison shot shows up the angular windows on the Silver Fox 'C' Eoin Quote
GSR 800 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 According to the latest gauge o guild circular he's done 461, I'd say it's finished by now. Oh Sambo. A model of 461. (starts running to Dublin) Quote
GSR 800 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Has the 4-8-0 herself been finished lads? I would love to see some more pics Quote
