David Jinty's Workbench.

Hi all,

I'm new on here, but have been on a couple of other forums prior.

I've started this thread to show some of the stock that has come across my workbench and which continues to come across it.

A while ago I was asked to give some Heljan Cargowaggens a bit of a weathering, in particular the Blue Circle Cement one needed a good dollop of cement dust and grime around it.
I'll leave it to the pictures to explain.

Thank you, here another one...............

A Bachmann Brassworks 08, MMP detailing added and finished in BR blue and weathered. I have since re-fitted this loco with a Zimo MX645R and it has lighting front and rear, cab lights and the dashboard also lights up. Weathered again as a well used example.

Thank you for the kind words and warm welcome, having looked around the forum just a little, I can see there are some excellent modelling skills on show and a very informative membership willing to help others along the way. I hope I can in some way contribute myself, as well as ask questions where the answer eludes me.

Further on, here we have a Heljan GUV in Royal Mail red livery with just the yellow double striping and yellow indecisive arrows.
I've again altered this from the norm by repainting one door as a replacement from a BR blue example. The hinge area has been shown to have undertaken some repair as well with grey primered repair patching.

Hope you don't mind the flurry of pictures?

Thanks Rob

Yes I posted the Cargowaggen on RMWeb when I first did it. Thank you for your kind comments.
I've recently changed a Heljan 05 from the CEGB yellow livery to a 'BLUE CIRCLE CEMENT' livery.
I had some custom transfers made up by Steve at Railtec Transfers, I added extra air tanks under the side valence and extra air pipes on the front and rear buffer beams with pipe runs going through the beam at the rear.

I've given it a reasonably heavy weathering with powders, washes and dry brushed effects in places, then an all over spray with Testors Dullcote to seal it up. once dry, I gave some of the oily bits some glossy washes and some fuel stains from the tank filler.

Hi Guys,

Sorry but I think when I uploaded my media I set them as private somehow.
I will ask the mods if they can help to make all my pictures public.

I have just found out how to change the permissions, I think that I've now made all the media available for everybody to see.
If someone could let me know if it has changed now please?

David
