Breaking my own rule on this one; I said I wouldnt do any stalled builds from any GB. But so many of my stalled builds are from GBs its hard to find one thats not. This is one from a GB on the Airfix Tribute Forum.
I started this almost two years ago.
It'll not be a normal engine. This one is to be an armoured loco and tender from the Boer wars.
I need to add a cow catcher, or as I was taught by an uncle who worked on the railways out of Chicago - a 'cattle nudger'. To apply armour plate to the tender and sides & roof of the cab, and special armour over the boiler. This is rather special and will be hard to do but I think you'll like the look when its done.
First is to finish off the driving & connecting rods on the wheels.
As you can see the tender is completely built but it needs armour plate on the sides and rear.
Now, out with the plastic card. I have an idea to use something unusual for impressing 'rivets' onto the card. If it works I'll tell you about it.
