Basically I added some grafiti to some industrial bins, drilled a few holes in some fence posts, painted some more fence posts, kitbashed a lima 4 wheel 2 slot european container wagon into a near enough NSW 45' bogie container wagon. I even installed some fencing to show off what it looks like on the layout.

Midweek I decided to do some modelling. I cut up the centre sills I had for the remaining 6 NOCY wagons I've had hanging around for 18 months. I fitted the sills and bogie bolsters, and I then sprayed the three doorless wagons Gunmetal, Blue and Brown. The three wagons with doors, still need the door details added - maybe next week and I may even get around to spraying them
I did spend some time removing the rubbish off my workbench in the shed. Since I've been in the shed (4 + years), I have not been able to sit at the workbench and use it as intended. So now it has been cleaned up. I am planning how to arrange shelving, storage cabinets, a test track, tools, paints, my styrene collection, my scale wood collection, detail parts etc. so it will become a nice modelling area.
Today I started building the Pratt truss bridge for Kyogle. You guessed it, I ran out of styrene. I need 1 packet each of 4 different sizes to complete it but below is what it looks like so far. I still have to add some underneath cross bracing and a few gussets.

You know Craig I've been going to your shed for a few years now, and I can honestly say that I've never, ever, see anything that looks even remotely like a work bench! So what else do you have hidden in there?
ReplyDeleteGeoff,
ReplyDeleteI told you it was covered. It is at the same end as the kitchen, on the other side of the beer fridge is - you certainly know where that is!
Craig
Yep! that's it can never just walk passed the fridge!
ReplyDeleteCM, lovely work on the bridge and fencing. You're a styrene magician! GB.
ReplyDeleteWhat sizes you need? I might have some I can lend ya.
