Got a Lil' Critter from one of our members on here with a view to giving it a light revamp, a nice paintjob and some weathering. Here are some shots of it sat in the workshop in primer after having most of the detail work done. I have fitted a panel on top of the nose with bolt heads, an exhaust stack, side window sun shades, side window arm rests, seperate door handles and nose panel handles, shaved off the molded parts on the buffer beams, replaced the uneven nose handrails, scraped off and smoothed all the molding lines on the noses and cab, moved the horn from on top of nose to cab roof, swapped the nasty custard yellow LED's for the headlamps with nice Warm White one's from ebay.
I'm as yet undecided if I will leave the underframe side skirts off to reveal the bogie sideframe, it does look good with exposed frames, so I am painting both types so i can make my mind up after trying both out.
She will end up in SP "bloody nose" colours, but VERY faded and weather worn.
I will post some more shots as she comes together.
Cheers
Rob
