OcCre Costa MZA

[wrighizilla]

Hello, I have just start this new kit forom OcCre

Coche Costa MZA. Modelismo ferroviario de OcCre. Ferromodelismo.

Model is long 55cm same scale 1 ofmy locomotive BR18 G gauge 45mm

Kit content:
two box of metal castings, woods and nails

a sheet of paper print, trasparent polycarbonate and a plastic net.

Wood Tables

Instruction are all photographic, same as BR18 very easy to follow
In the box are present original spanish instruction manual and a second copy in your language.

I have done a speedy look to the manual and this model also seems to me more complex than BR18.
It is essential to have a cutter capable of making 90 ° measured cuts.

I start build log from the floor.
I used vinyl glue, ash and shellac.
I glued the strips, leaving a space between them that I filled with ashes.
I spread liquid vilinyl glue onj cinder and cleaned allfloor with a cloth.
once dry I discarded bringing clean wood back to the surface.
I painted with shellac

That looks though it will build into something quite special, you certainly have the skills. But the work and patience required for one of their kits, quite some dedication is required. 1 Madrid tram kit was enough for me. Are their decals still just the printed paper you need to cut and paste ? Max

The bathroom
to highlight the tiles I used a ruler and a glass cutter.
the tiles are printed on a sheet of paper, so they are matt, to make them shiny I applied transparent tape and then I remarked the lines with the glass cutter.
on paper it is important to use the right glue, vinyl or glue and water-based paint, you must not use cyanoacrylate or oily paints, shellac etc.. otherwise the paper will stain,you can see a cianoacrilate stain under the copper towel rails.

I paint bathroom sanitary with Vallejo acrylic water based color, then I apply Humbrol clear.

now mirror is horizontal I finish to add the last elements.
today I build the top and bottom wall and the internal partition

 

[wrighizilla]

Yes.. decal are fine print but normal paper. but I think is a good choice for the parts I have just made, paper allowed me to mark them and create the bas-relief effect.
the only really important thing is to be careful not to stain it otherwise it is necessary to paint

Wow...

 

[Rhinochugger]

Wow...

I very nearly said 'Wait 'til Mike sees this.'

The tiles look so real - very clever stuff. I wouldn't have the patience. Looking forward to this coach trip!

This model Costa MZA compared With BR18 experience is totally different, is more similar to a wooden ship construction kit
and maybe this Costa kit is more difficult, BR18 really is not, everybody with patience and minimum pratice can do BR18.
Also my photo helps and OcCre give a prompt support online, I ask they support about motor units best way to fit in tender and they answer me immediately.
In this Costa kit is very important to have a good sharp cutting tool as to make around two or three hundred 12mm wooden tables and other calibrated measures.



look why.. but is really beautiful and awesome to built

More like marquetry than kit building..
My late Father would have been good at these..

Very nice work!

toilet is finished

I start doing glass for windows

I have made a wodden frame to cut glass all the same.
glass are microscope slides 27x76mm 1,4mm thick
to cut glass you need adecent glass cutter and a corundum file to trim the edges

Very nice work, and thanks much for sharing the details....I've had my eye on this kit for quite some time

 

[JRinTawa]

Very nice indeed

 

[wrighizilla]

Many things done..
I finished the outer sides with 160 wooden boards glued with the aid of a ruler

the mosaic inside

after having painted with glossy transparent I finished the sides with the wallpaper

 

[wrighizilla]

Now I'm doing the seats, I've just finished the second-class ones
instead of painting the seats, I preferred to cover them with silk.

as a primer for metal I used shellac, it works very well as a cling for water-based paints

I rounded the seats by scraping on a glass-paper table

I coated it by gluing the silk

I fix corners with ciano glue and after a paint with shellac this is the result

 

[phils2um]

Spectacular!!! What a job of workmanship!

 

[Paul M]

Wow! I can't think of anything else to express my thoughts

 

[wrighizilla]

Thank you!!
I have many news about Costa MZA
Third class seats

luggage rack built on biadesive tape

main doors all working

I built the roof differently from the instructions so I can paint it inside

first of all I folded the wet strips on the soldering iron

first step I built the roof frame without glue it to the the walls

Finished the frame I move it on my desk.

I start to cover..

to make the construction more solid I preferred to lay out a thin fiberglass texture

paint inside

I reassembled on the walls and I finished the external roof frames
