Only one wagon so far but more to follow, once I work out how to go about it

Cheers

Is that the post of a GW-style flying stand as a gun barrel? Genius, great way to get the tapering shape without going mad!

The painting on the Red officer also looks great, looking forward to seeing this progress.

A couple of very clever ideas in there. The magnetic gun base and the gun barrel in particular.

the pins as dampers even more so!
congratulations!

may I ask of what make and gauge the train is?

Thanks...it's a bit made up as I go along but I've salvaged quite a few useful bits and bobs, mostly from the kids toy box and the wife's craft supplies.

It's a Teamster toy train, which is 1/55th scale according to the box.

I guess the gauge is around 25mm / 1''or so but, as the toy doesn't come with tracks I'll have to make my own

A couple more photos here:

It'll get a wash and weathering tomorrow, plus some detail painting and (possibly) some decals, if I have the time.

Cheers

ace!

funny You chose the same color as I did for a similar model

looks very good!

I suggest You try toy plastic tracks, they will be easier to cut to size

Wow!

That came out really well.

Nice brush work.

I added a bit of a wash and a light over drybrush, together with a couple of decals to add some much needed colour:

Jolly nice. Well done sir

Boggler · « **Reply #13 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:02:50 PM »

Thanks chaps

I added the final touches this evening, so it's on to the command / machine gun carriage next.
