Showroom condition!

It may need some weathering but the 3D tractor is finished! All that I had to do was finish y=he painting and assemble the four parts that make up the kit. There were no instructions but even I could not go wrong!

It just needs some weathering to take away that 'showroom' look and make it look a bit more like a working piece of agricultural machinery!

Blue is the colour!

Feeling as though I was Scott of the Antarctic, which was possibly an over dramatisation of the coldness in the Man Cave but it was cold, some progress was made on painting the £D tractor print. Having actually turned the heater on, it was warm enough to airbrush some paint so undercoat was followed by painting the wheel centres white.

After that, the tyres were brushed painted. The separate mudguards and bonnet were airbrushed in blue whilst the main body has had a first hand brushed coat of the same blue which by this time matched my complexion with the cold!

Once finished it should find a home on one of my layouts but in the meantime it is back to the warmth of the house!

Its cold in the Man Cave!

Well, it may not be the most exciting of posts but given the cold weather it was not the most hospitable of places in the M an Cave so my stay was limited to cleaning up the 3D tractor kit ready for priming. Not a whole lot to do, but a bit of sanding on the bonnet and rear mudguards together with removing some excess print material in a few places together with mounting the parts onto a board with masking tape means they are ready for some primer once I venture back out again!

Now that should be a nice small, quick to do project whilst I wait for glues to dry!

The scenic sub base was carved to shape today - and it made a mess that hopefully Mrs. Woody wont find out about unless she reads this!

Starting off with the now solid glued jigsaw of polystyrene which Marty the cat seems to have an interest in....

My Last Great Project,

...the bread knife soon carved into it. leaving the carnage of its work on the floor....

My Last Great Project,

...which took some cleaning up as the beads of polystyrene become statically charged and sticks to everything ! Luckily Marty was out of the way so he is clear of any beads!

There are just a couple of small areas which need some additional polystyrene attaching so whilst I await the glue to dry that I used to fasten the additional bits, in true Woody style I have started another project! At the Narrow Gauge show that I took Mrs. W to a few weeks ago O did buy some 3D prints including a couple of wagons and also this small agricultural tractor.

Now that should be a nice small, quick to do project whilst I wait for glues to dry! Hmmmm! Famous last words and all that!
