My stash just grew again (2014)

[kitnut617]

 What surprised me is it was Chloe (Daughter 1A) who is very much into pink, princesses and ballerinas enjoyed it more than the tomboy 1B.

Pink seems to be a favorite colour for many little girls Simon, (off topic and a short story) -- ever now and then we look after a friend's dog who they've had since it was a puppy. Their daughter 1A was given the job of giving her a name when she joined the family and as 'pink' was it then she named her 'Pinky' ----- the dog is a pure white (and now huge) Maremma

The Boxcar is a G and it's the Testors Boxing.  And i've found the thread for a certain persons Tiger rescue service...

Hope you enjoyed it & took some inspiration.

Biggest problem I had with the Italeri kit was the undercarriage, which is very fragile & is now held together by more glue, of various types, than the rest of the model combined ... & a good splash of wishful thinking.




(Actually, it's a wildlife rescue service. The build just happens to be of a plane painted in a tiger scheme, there are others - panda, cheetah, clouded leopard, bilby, etc.)

My RW AC-119K has stood up to quite a few years of shows, and being moved around in boxes with the gear holding up perfectly. I always thought it was quite strong, with all those bracing struts etc.

4mm scale Judith Edge Etched Brass Kit for the LMS/BR class 503 electric multiple unit

its complex, quite a few things for it i have to source myself and i need to buy a soldiering iron, but it will look
good when [its a very long when] its finished.

Thanks Wombat & Kitnut.
I shall take your comments into consideration when I get to building this behemoth.  I did note you had wildlife rescue on the side Wombat but the paint & the size of the crates just said tiger.

[Weaver]

From ebay, a box of 1/35th armoured train bits.

Rivetty greeblie fodder, basically...

4mm scale Judith Edge Etched Brass Kit for the LMS/BR class 503 electric multiple unit

There's only about three of us (maybe only two...) who have the faintest idea what you're talking about here Trevor. 

What's it like quality wise? I've seen some good built-up examples of Judith Edge kits but never looked at a kit itself.

hhhmmm. just to show I occasionally pay attention when Kit has talked in the past and to what my father in law has said
4mm  = 4mm =1foot in real world.
LMS/BR   London midland Scottish ( lost, missing, strayed) / British Rail
Class 503 = type of train
EMU means that its multiple electric motors ( 1 or 2 on each part) and looks kind of like a coach with a glass front that the driver looks out of
Yes?

Close counts  but where did the 503s run?
