morten1996's Get off yer duff Challenge (Part II) - morten1996 - 02-12-2017 Started in Jan. 2017 I hope to finish this project soon. A scartchbuilt GM&O #1900, the prototype made by Ingalls (one produced ever) My typical start as a Frankenstein (combining a FA with a monitor roof and some PS-pads) a little bit later Once again many sanding sessions followed Some more details & grilles applied (and down in the basement late in the evening - causing poor conditions for taking pictures...sorry) A picture of the prototype https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/Ingalls_4-S.jpg Regards Norman Re: morten1996's Get off yer duff Challenge (Part II) - doctorwayne - 02-12-2017 It's not often we see a modeller able to replicate in miniature a railroad's entire roster of a particular locomotive type. With your two Challenge entries, Norman, you've accomplished this feat twice! Very nice work and some ingenious modelling techniques, too. Wayne Re: morten1996's Get off yer duff Challenge (Part II) - morten1996 - 02-19-2017 @ Wayne thanks for the nice comment Started with the shell's paint job - still some faults has to be corrected as well as the separate painting of the inside of the rear vestibule. Regards Norman Re: morten1996's Get off yer duff Challenge (Part II) - morten1996 - 02-25-2017 Some progress on coloring #1900 Roof & lower part of the pilots using light black to reduce the contrast to the bright red - there are several areas to be corrected due to overspray... Regards Norman Re: morten1996's Get off yer duff Challenge (Part II) - GMO-Frisco - 02-25-2017 Hi Norman, I love that engine. It was the yard darling during the time it was used from the GM&O. Re: morten1996's Get off yer duff Challenge (Part II) - morten1996 - 03-10-2017 Some progress on the paint job - also have enlarged the portholes inner diameter to more resemblence of the prototype Temporary sunshades of masking tape will be replaced after final varnish Regards Norman Re: morten1996's Get off yer duff Challenge (Part II) - Tyson Rayles - 03-10-2017 |
