First a comparison





then to take the roundhouse example apart!







thats better, John bate will aprove!





Now to let it dry before detailing and lining
Also finnished the Ashover today along with 2pack etch primering a Lady Anne

OK - what exactly have you done to it??

Coach and loco look superb, well done

made it the right colour
the green boiler is now black
matted the smokebox
the black cylinder covers are now green
the black wheels are now green

horses for courses they'll be brushed steel tomorrow

I think that makes the loco so much better. Having finally seen a standard Roundhouse in the flesh I admit I was not impressed at all compared to the real one. That is a big step in the right direction. Ashover coach looks superb as well.

yeah, the comparison with dads scratch built model just shows the detail that should/could be there. This roundhouse model is going to have the works.
