IP Engineering Lucy
IP Engineering Lucy
Shall be starting my IP Engineering Lucy soon. Hopefully have it ready for the 20th April
Shall be painted all over black except for the odd detail bits (front of radiator etc)
I have the extra detailing back, brass handrails and a 4WD kit to add to it aswell.
Been reading the instructions over and over and sliding it all together to get a feel for how it goes together.
Pictures on Monday hopefully.
A IP Punch is soon to be ordered for my birthday aswell

Honestly, I think I am going to make mine an open cab model, the more I look at that cab, the more I do not like it....too big and too "steam" looking.
I have my chassis together, working well. Hope to work on her some this weekend.

I am not painting the actual "mechanical" chassis, may touch up the wheels later, but the rest of the bits will get paint.

Progress report
Yesterday the holes for the extras were drilled and everything was primed.
Tonight all the major components have been painted and the chassis started. Aroldite for the wheels is currently setting. The inside of the cab has been painted white which looks real good
No more progress for a while now though, although i expect my grandad will give a few bits another coat of paint over the weekend

Are either of you going to fit the optional Cab Control Panel Kit, which is listed for the Jessie & Jack?
I agree with Garrett that the cab looks too big on these locos, and was wondering if the Cab Control Panel would help fill out my IP Jessie cab, as it looks very bare with just a driver model at present.
