On the bench: 16 ton mineral

Post by Richard Phillips » Tue Mar 16, 2010 10:37 am

Thought I'd post up some construction shots of the 16 tonner if it's of any interest.

Thanks for these, I'm always interested to see what others are doing.

This one was done a while ago, I'll post up the Sand wagon next when I get around to it. The "minerals" are on the bench at the moment... or more precisely, in boxes, whilst I get ready to move house! I'm trying to encourage other builders to post a bit of their work with this because of my interest. I'm no exhibition builder and one of the reasons I weathered this wagon was to cover up the errors!

It looks good weathered anyway, I must admit I was too scared of messing up the paintwork to weather my 7-plank when I finished it! I'll post an updated photo of my Brakevan in the next week or so, still not finished but coming along slowly.
