Hope the Boiler inspections went well James 

Took longer than expected Paul and only managed to get them all stripped and the metal ultrasound scanned for thickness, all is looking good so far, boilerman returns on Friday for hydraulic and livesteam tests.

Still no sign of the printer ink I need to finish some other builds so ploughing on with the Plowman.

Looking very nice indeed, all the greenery really helps bring it to life.

Attempting to make a half decent 4 series Scania by taking the mess Newray make and crossing it with part of a Siku Scania and some of my own resin bits. Hoping to make this outfit, the trailers also inbuild

Prepping some of the engines for their boiler tests tomorrow, then hopefully sell a few on. First time we've had most in the same place, still two in other units but made for a nice photo

Some great photos, the Scanny looks very tidy given her age

The sisal mat looks very effective, much faster and less mind numbing than cutting individual strands of rope. Nice find.

I like it alot and use it in most of my builds. Easier to cut than plastic both by hand and with a laser cutter. Nice to shape and sand. And cheap, which when I first started was very important. It does of course have its limitaions. Over time and in a damp environent it will sag and getting a good paint finish can be difficult.

Looking amazing, is it card?

Yes it is Pete, most of the structure is 1.5mm mount board which is roughly the same strength as plastic would be, then any detailing is cereal card. I will hopefully get some of these built up soon as I have the parts to make 6.

Loving the crush Wayne, should sit very nicely on your layout

Well done James good on you  does that mean you'll be off to Cheffins sale at Harrogate today to have a bit of a celebratory spend??

Cheers guys.

Didnt get to the sale unfortunately Paul, spent to much at the last few Cambridge sales with a third 4" added to the stable, all be it in need of repair.

May well be designing the new Defender never mind modding one Sean. Theres is a placement year where you go and work for a company, theyre well linked with Jag Landrover, JCB and Terex along with loads of others, liking the sound of Terex at the moment and they usually offer you a job once you complete the course

Got my A level results yesterday, A* Maths, B in Physics and a B in Art so off to Harper Adams at the end of September to study Off Road Vehicle Design

Over the moon!

Very nice indeed

Dio's looking good as usual, glad to hear harvest is going well

Heading up on Wednesday so will have a nosey

Your not hanging around with this build James, looking good so far

The beauty of a laser cutter, total cut time for the entire model was 30 minutes so got two more cut out before running out of material, stocking up on laser cut parts as I leave college next Monday so will no longer be able to use it. 

Liking the 1/16th convos by the way, too delicate for me to attempt.
