Arghhh!!. The joys of doing leaf springs :smiling2:

You've done a lot better job than I would have done. Lovely tidy work

Steve, Thanks mate the springs on kits are always the weak point, normally I don't bother to much but as this is on full view I thought I better try and improve it.

Love all the brake rigging on the bogie & all the extra details, just hope they will be visible on the finished model with the huge wheels on!:thumb2:

Thanks Graeme, I think some of it at least will be visible hopefully.

I worked on the main springs today. I was going to replace all the leaves but couldn't get the curve I was after so I have removed all the moulded detail and replaced with evergreen, lead wire and punched rivets. The solid hangers were removed and replaced to show the open section.



And a little detail added to the rope guide rollers.

I've said it before but I don't know how you do it.

Not only having the knack of knowing what details to add or change to increase the realism, but also having the skills to reproduce them.
