Coming together nicely Spud...the up-side to not having a compressor means you can build build build! The downside is that you can't finish...but now you've got the perfect excuse to build away to your heart's content!

[spud]

Lol thanks guys

I've thought about getting thing kit and almost did the other day. Very clean build so far Spud. Will be following to see how this comes together

[spud]

just got done taking the tracks from the spures and what a mojo killer that is. but on the plus side i did make a base for it to sit on last night from Foam card, First time trying it and well impressed with it so will be using it again

[eastrock]

What can I say Buddy, your doing great!!! a dio again!!!

[spud]

OMFG these tracks are s***, just put a section together and what dint fall apart was warped, gona bin them and get some propper tracks for it.

Dicky has just asked what i wanted to know a few guys on the Norway forum use this for brick walls have not tried yet what did you use to make out the bricks?

[spud]

dicky ive no idea lol i presume vellajo primer will be ok?? i wont know for a while any how ;(

Dan u used a steel ruler to get my lines and then i done the brick by eye with a pointy thing i have, no idea what its called.

Man its depressing having no compressor

[wouter]

nice work on the groundpiece dude! Love it, will look great when painted no doubt.

Bummer the tracks are dudu...Friuls on the go?

NO compressor? :-O I thought you painted yer stuff with an AB...even more impressive than! (or did it broke down?)

Keep it up Mr. Potato!

Cheers

[spud]

Compressor seal went so it was leaking air so for the mo i have none, Its off being fixed.

Making headway spud!!! Sorry bout the tracks, you will straighten it out I am sure!!! Looking forward the base work buddy!!! Keep it going!!!

[bigjohn]

Sorry to hear about the tracks spud. Some of them can be a pain in the Ars.

Nice work on the base, I'm really impressed!

[bullardino]

Nice base, ho did you scuplt it out of foam?

[spud]

ill post pics of what i did in a little bit Luigi, so you can see,

[bullardino]

Great, looking forward to it

[spud]

Alright Luigi.

These are my Weapons. Files Xaco blade and pointy thing.


When you get the card it will have a kind of paper protecting the foam you will need to remove this, It will just peal off both sides with a bit of effort



Once you know the Shape you want cut it to lenght and shape it.




next use the file to smooth out the shape.


To do the Kerb stones i just put my finger to the side of the card and drew down as if i was dawing a line.


Next i mesuered the lenght of the kerbing i wanted wich was 1.5 cm.



Next up was the paving slabs i mesued from the kerbing in 1cm for teh size of my slabs so they were 1x1 cm after i done the first few i done the rest by eye.




Hope this helps Luigi

[eastrock]

Thanks for sharing, Spud!!!

Tommy would not mind grabbing this and put it on the techniques lol

[modelfreak72]

[wbill76]

Neat trick with the base, the NbF ought to look right at home. Feel your pain on the tracks, it's a necessary evil to go with all those road wheels!

[spud]

[spud]
