2-6-0 Camelback with sound

Philip,

The figures are starting to bring the locomotive to life.

Philip, you're doing some amazing work here.
Very impressive!

Thanks Ron and Rick!

I got lucky with the cab figure. After trimming several times he rests perfectly on the window sill. I was wanting him inside but he looks pretty natural hanging out.

Rick, I CA'ed the brass to the plastic with no gap followed by JB Weld tapering into the joint on both sides. Once dry I lightly sanded out the bevel to blend with the deck. Seems to have strength. Time will tell.

The cab figure is soaking in paint remover. I may get some time to finish today. Looking like rain and we need it!

Thanks for commenting !

Old engineer is looking rough.

Howdy Philip,

The engineer casting has a lot of nice detail in the face.  It should be a great-looking addition to the camelback.

Have fun,

Thanks Mike, I worked on some figures including the guy above with kneadtite greenstuff. Works great for sculpting and patching and remains flexible. Takes forever to set. His hat was lost when removing all the paint.

"Piddling" is a very important part of modeling and I haven't heard that term used in years. You're doing some masterful modeling here; have fun.

[Philip]

A couple updated. Figures have cured. Maybe the paint will stick.


An old combine that is needing attention. The body was warped. Hoping the clamped area holds.


I also re-decked around the original weight. Planning some boxes and what not in the interior to obscure the unsightly post and unfinished area. I also removed the lighting kit. The floor needs a good block sanding as it crowns in the middle.



Thanks for looking!

The figures look very good.

What might work better next time would be some 1/2" aluminum angle epoxied to the floor....  I think you can get that stuff pretty cheaply at Home Depot or similar.
