Nice one Jason. They look the business the way you've applied them.

Cheers, Phil. I'm happy enough with how they turned out. 

You done a great job on them. They look fantastic and are so easy to work with. They really do take the loads to the next level. I'd highly recommend them to anybody considering ordering them.

Following on from my previous post, I've decided to continue covering my IRM fertiliser loads with @murphaph's excellent IFI decals. 

As before, I'll be attempting a full wrap of each load.   

I'm not quite sure how many I'll manage to complete, as covering them this way requires using more than one decal for each load, and there's alot to get through.

Fair bit of wrapping ahead of you…

Merry Christmas, ho ho ho!

[JasonB]

After lots of cutting and applying, I finally got these finished during the week.  

Unfortunately, I didn't get them all covered as I ran out of decals. But I think I've got enough done for a convincing yard scene. 

[DJ Dangerous]

Great stuff.

Great job Jason

[The Derry Road]

Those look tidy, very nice.

[DJ Dangerous]

Aside from the skilled modelling, I love the presentation and photography. Really shows off the quality of the work.

[Rob]

They look the part- well done

[RedRich]

Lovely job Jason they look great. I'd imagine the real ones were heat shrink wrapped. The decals are fantastic.

Any chance of a few Tayto-wrapped pallets?

Nothing ground breaking, but still, it's one of those fiddly jobs that needed doing. 

I recently picked up these OO figures fairly cheaply online. They worked out at less than €20 delivered for 100 pieces, which is a fraction of what I was paying for the Bachmann Scenecraft seated passengers that I'd been using. 

As you can see below, the downside with them being so cheap is that the finish isn't the greatest. 

So, some tidying up and a full repaint of each figure was required. I have also removed the lower part on roughly half, as I'll be using these in vehicles.

Some shots of my Murphy Models - Cravens 

Interiors were painted, along with adding passengers. 

Weathering has been kept to a minimum, with the bogies and ends carrying most of the grime.

Lovely job nice to see a light weathering did you light them too 

[Flying Snail]

Very nice weathering - carriage ends and door areas look great. Interiors look very good too!

[popeye]

Very nicely done, perfect. 

I don't see any mobile phone users.

He must have installed signal jammers ln each coach. Given the job on the weathering, I wouldn’t be surprised if the toilets actually function, too.
