grs double fairlie build

[mbiff]

having bought a unfinished double fairlie of welsh dave - i set about the build

first off was to rip it apart and make the chassis run on r1 reverse curves

then fettle the body to the chassis - altho it looks a tad high

anyhoo - chassis is a runner and is sat here next one i borrowed

also just practicing lining before i do the fairlie - i lined this little beastie

more to come as progress is made

Wow, I'm impressed.

I'm really pleased to see life in the old girl its always a shame when kits go un-built. I'm really looking forward to seeing it painted.

Good spot of lining work too, something I've always been to scared to try. Look forward to seeing the finish Fairlie Mark.

I have considered one of these ( & one of the Bachmann ones) in the past so I am looking forward to seeing the finished results. Your borrowed example looks super
