A lot more riveting done and more details added.
A careful rub down with a fibreglass pencil will round the rivets off.
I cannot swear to the accuracy as it was difficult to find details.
So actually I can swear to the accuracy - it isn't.
The rails have been rusted and painted and silvered on top.
Here are some views of each side and a top view.
Storage boxes to make and add next.

Is your eyesight going Zak??

Your last post was it big bold text, could it be rivetituss?.

Nice work nonetheless, keep it up. Those trips to the allotment are keeping your imagination going.

Rivetitus may be catching so be careful - I just like playing with the fonts.

Hey, up Rommel,

Nice to have you on board!
I agree with you, what about a disused Aircraft Hanger at Driffield instead?

Will it be big enough?

I see Zak has chosen YELLOW for his new font colour could this be anything to do with his takeover of the IPMS ?

Note the colour scheme is not yellow.
More details added, some painting done, things have slowed down now that I am watching paint dry!

This is a bigger image and enlarges quite well.

Very impressive. Now you'll have to build a dirty great puffer train to drag it along!

Static display only I am afraid.
My research reveals that they were parked (is that the right term?) in the same place for quite a long time.

Bigkev · « **Reply #687 on:** May 24, 2015, 05:29:54 PM »

Yes, I agree with Haddock, an eye catching and impressive build.

What is next off the drawing board I wonder?

Perhaps that is it.
I am having trouble finding something that takes my fancy.
Still all work and no play makes David a dull boy.
I am determined to try to complete this one first.
Still need a couple more coats of paint, each one is slightly different, then some shading and dry brushing followed by weathering and so on. Coats of Klear in between. varnish and so on.
This all takes longer than building it.
Its is all the waiting for paint to harden and so on that I find difficult, patience is a virtue, but much over rated perhaps.

It is looking very impressive indeed.....there are those that can, those that try, and those that can`t. You are one of those that can....thatnk you for sharing your work.
