Nice one Ian!!


I never seen these kind of kits here....

[papa 695]

Well I've made a start on this one, got the front main frame put together and painted. Also got the boiler halves put together and cut off and cleaned all the slide bars and Pistons ( if that's what there called ).

[papa 695]

Not sure yet Monica.

[Guest]

Nice start Ian!


The Moni's idea is cool

[papa 695]

I'm going to try and show it running down the track in a countryside setting, so I best start making some trees and shrubs.

[monica]

I do like the sounds of that Ian,


and time to use some cotton wool for the smoke,and have it flowing down to show its moving forwards

[papa 695]

Got the mainframe and wheels painted and weathered
