PT's 'Embra trem' **Finished**
Not got a photo yet, but this will be the Kiel Kraft Edinburgh tram. I had hoped to do a wee dio with this and a Scammell tank transporter in the livery of an Edinburgh haulage contractor but the Scammell has gone AWOL!

You've got a big carpet monster, if it's eating you Scammell tank transporter.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Are you adding a driver and passengers?

Re: PT's 'Embra trem'
I hadn't planned on it. I was going to do it at the turnaround at Granton terminus with the crew standing having a smoke. I don't think I will have a lot of time left after putting EVERY SINGLE WINDOW in individually! the ones I circled in red are 2mm x 4mm and the yellow ones 2mm x2mm!!!!!splash wrote:Are you adding a driver and passengers?
Btw, this is just ONE of the transparency sprues!
I had a Keil Kraft bus before and the upper deck windows came on 4 pieces

Re: PT's 'Embra trem'
Picked up a set of the venerable Airfix Platform figures at lunchtime. They are the nice and sharply sculpted hard plastic ones, so the tram will have a crew and passengers.

Re: PT's 'Embra trem'
It's a packed little kit with the full interior too. Hope it all buttons up without any issues....
... you have dry fitted it?

Re: PT's 'Embra trem'
The dry fit looked pretty good, tight tolerances and some warping of the decks due to being stored in the loft for at least ten years, but it is a really nice fitting kit if a little vague in the instructions. ( I had painted and weathered one side of the stairways before realising that I had done the wrong side )JamesPerrin wrote:It's a packed little kit with the full interior too.

although both tram and figures are supposed to be 1/76, the figures look like they might be a tight fit into the already fitted seats.
