Hi guys,
I have started another car. It took 20 hours to fit and glue parts together. Brrr! Still to be fixed. I have almost everything needed for this build, so I suppose to keep going faster.

Baluard cars
Thank you for looking, any comments welcome.

The side doors added, I have also filled defects with liquid resin.

Thanks for looking
Libor

this one is cool are u going to put any cargo inside? or men? also what color??

I was thinking about it at the begining, but interior looks terrible now, after hard fitting and lots of glue or epoxy usage, I just cannot. But the doors are not closed, because both of them are 4 mm narrower than they should be. Definitely the worst kit from Baluard.
I hope the rest of it will go better.
Cheers

Your railcars are amazieng, I like what you do with them. You always seem to overcome any difficulty that comes with those builds. Nice job on this one so far. Keep em comin, milvehfan

Thanks, milvehfan,
I hope the worst is over
Gondola from Trumpeter is our right now, pictures look nice, many differences from Dragon gondola car, this one will definitely upgrade my train
Cheers Libor

I have completed wheels and brakes with air system, there are some parts missing in the kit. I solved one of them already, the front wall of the brake cab. Now I have to deal with 2 missing footplates. I really like this car, but the kit is done miserably . I´ll post fresh pictures tomorrow.
Cheers
Libor

Libor,

Yet another really nice "pig's ear to silk purse." The additions to the undercarriage have me quite the jealous one!

Mike

Thanks, Mike,
I´d like to give them more, but the references are not very good. Baluard´s cars are also too rough for extra detailing. Anyway, BR 86 will be the one to get perfect detail soon, hope to start next month. I am going to paint the finished cars in next days, still not quiet sure about their colour, got nice idea for camo on the tank car from New Zealand modeller, He sent me pictures his BR52, used very nice camo on her, I loved that.
Cheers

Third time's a charm Libor! Nice work, you're definitely keeping busy with all that you're working on! Keep at it! Cheers -

Thanks, Tim,
Missing footboards for the covered car made up:

I am working on couplings and air valves now. I want to make also mould for bumpers and after that the wagon is ready for primer.
I have put some fresh pictures at my website today:

Thanks for looking
Libor

I glued on all the grab bars. Just the buffers and I can paint primer then.


Thanks for looking
Libor

The moulds for buffers finished at last, tomorrow I will paint surfacer on this one.


I have also done first work on my diorama planned, coal crane is glued and the base for whole train is getting ready.

More details can be found at my website:
