georgeT's (7mm Workbench)

Spot on Peter, l have made other bloomers on the N class like forgetting to add the bolts in the boiler to join them together ? Hahaha

 

Both points noted for when I get to build mine! (...and other locos using the same method)

Looking really good so far George!
I also have the Ace version but it's part built in a box. Not a good choice for a first attempt at 7mm!!

Regards
Rob

 

Hello Deano, The kit is going together fairly well but the instructions could be better ? but then it is an old kit (2003), the guy l am building this for let me borrow another N Class of his to copy and weather, should be fun...

 

I thought for a minute there you'd worked through the night and finished it!

 

Rob,

You might have the ex-Sanspareil kit

Ian

 

Maybe, Ian. I wouldn't know. It has Ace all over the etchings now? It came from Home of O Gauge about a year before they ceased.
I'll look into it when I get home from my travels.

Regards
Rob

 

Hi Rob,

It won't be a Sanspareil kit then

Ian

 

S Started the loco body, not as easy as l thought ?

 

It's coming on well George, will you be fitting Sound to it, so it can run on Seven Mills when you visit the Souf Coast mate?

 

Hello Andy, No l don't think he wants sound fitted ?.

 

Things have slowed a bit with the heat, but l did manage to paint the chassis of loco and tender as l hate having to dismantle when its all up and running just to paint them.

 

Hi George,
In total awe at your kit building skills. More of a modern traction modeller, but have a soft spot for the Rebuilt WC/BoB and Merchant Navy's they look superb.

Can I ask what do you use to do the rivets, is a GW Models press? If so, how do you find it? I am thinking that I need to invest in something like that, to get a smooth and nicely replicated row of rivets on models.

Richie

 

Hello Richie, Thanks, and yes it is the GW model rivet press, best £95 l have ever spent.

 

Thanks George, I look forward to following your progress!

Richie

 

While the sun is out..

 

Any fresh updates on progress George?

 

Hello Andy Yes l have started to fit the plungers l got from JPL,..

 

Don't know why l used thick wires, so replaced them with a more suitable wire, all works fine now..

 

Anything new off the workbench this week George?
