tonto.irl Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Well, I've been asked by some that I should post up a workbench on here for quite some time. So here goes Quote
tonto.irl Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Let's throw the cat amongst the pigeons... I decided to experiment with the old Lima 201 before I wreck one of the nice new ones. After doing some research into the colours and livery this is the result xTx Edited June 27, 2015 by tonto.irl Quote
RobertRoche Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Oh wow, lovely paint job! I'll want mine next Quote
tonto.irl Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Recently I was asked to make up two of Studio Scale Models MK3 EUV kits (A06). Hats off to Weshty, they are good kits. Here they are finished in Iarnód Éireann RAL2011 No’s 7401 & 7404. xTx Edited June 27, 2015 by tonto.irl Quote
Frank_the_ piper Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 The 201 looks really great. And so do the Mk3 gen vans - stunning! And even better is the fact that they are on their way to become part of my collection of irish railway models. Thank you Tony! Quote
Dave Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Stunning work Tony, the finish is flawless and crisp. Quote
Mayner Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Excellent work as always. For a moment I thought you were throwing the cat among the pigeons by repainting one your own scratchbuilt 201s or Marks Models resin version from the days Irish rtr diesels were just a gleam in Paddy Murphys eye. Quote
Warbonnet Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Have been lucky enough to see the 201 in the flesh, super job Tony, well done and welcome! Quote
wexfordloco10 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Brilliant paint work well done the only thought I have is why did they paint such a dark colour in the centre of the original IMHO I think it spoils the livery David Wexford MRC Quote
burnthebox Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Brilliant paint job, very well done, keep the pics coming, Quote
tonto.irl Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 And now for somthing different: Before After Quote

irishthump Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Looking good TonyWednesday maybe? Patience! When my old man worked as a tailor and a customer ordered a new suit and wanted it in a hurry he woul say to them - "Quality - Quick - Cheap. Pick two!" Quote

enniscorthyman Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Took me ages just to build one 42 flat and that was glued together.I can imagine it takes a lot longer to solder. Great job. Quote
Kirley Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Excellent painting skills on the 201, doing templates for it must have been a nightmare. Class finish on the Gen Vans. Quote
BosKonay Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Absolutely beautiful. The sharpness and quality of finish is impressive! Quote
tonto.irl Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 Back to my BR One of my favourite locos is the class 50 in NSE. Here's 50028 "Tiger" repainted into revised NSE with the light blue: It wouldn't be right if it wasnt manky dirty: Next for the airbrush was 50027 "Lion". This was easier as I only had to repaint the dark blue. xTx __________________ http://www.modelrailways.ie Quote
