Nice one Graham love the pics very useful indeed, the coal tender and the loco are seperated to join them it takes a pin but thats it if you are spraying then careful masking is in order i think.
My present build, the 1/87 German BR50 would look like a pimple next to this.
I don't know if you have spotted this on Google images but it's a working model in a very nice cammo., complete with wagons, figures and a tank...type in 'German transport system WW2'
Yikes that's a large model! It looked familiar, so a quick trawl through A) my memory and B) some holiday photos and I found what I was looking for.
This picture was taken at Bressingham Gardens in Norfolk. They've quite a collection of trains with plenty being worked on. Oh, and some flowers too, yawn....
Hi all here is my progress so far, the main colour is humbrol sea grey, i then mixed 70% matt white with 30% Tamiya neutral grey and the panels were highlighted, the framework and wheels have been painted in Tamiya XF69 and dry brushed with gun metal and aluminium. Lots more to do hope you like it so far, all comments welcome be they good or bad.
Thanks very much for the comments guys but i have a long way to go with it, next comes the camouflage more brrush painting and weathering... then i have the road bed and track to paint. thanks again hope you will keep watching.
Looking very good so far. I particularly like the running gear and I'm looking forward to seeing how the grey goes. I'm sure a wash and some weathering is going to make this into an amazing model of a very different and interesting subject.
Brings back fond memories of the Airfix loco's such as the Evening Star, nothing like the detail of this though!
Beautiful build. Do you have any pics of the frame and driver assy. before adding the boiler? There are some hidden areas of same that would be helpful to my and others builds. Can't wait for the finish work.:clappinghat:
Do you know, I have never even considered building a loco before, having seen this I could be really tempted. I don't know about the whole train with the rail transported mortars though.
Tempting!
The wheels and under framing are looking really great. Look forwards to seeing it finished.
