Dave BurgessWas going to take some pics of it lit up, but I can't find the right power brick!

Dave BurgessFinally found the power brick, so I added some pics of the Viper with its engines lit.

Dave BurgessI was SURE I'd posted this YEARS ago (back in 2017 when I completed it), but I couldn't find it ANYWHERE, so here it is (again). I did manage to post it into the Plastic Model Builders Facebook page.

Roland SachsenhoferLooks like the installation of a new boiler... but is the very first shell of the 'Trevithick', the first steam locomotive....
The vintage kit doesn't appear to be bad and quite well thought out, only the plastic material in an unhealthy-soapy looking green plastic made me a little uneasy. But it will be fine! 🙂
I'm really looking forward to the next steps - a highly interesting and refreshingly different topic!

Roland SachsenhoferThe main assemblies have now been completed. Care must be taken here to clean up the numerous ejection marks and the many moulding protrusions, but that's the only thing holding it up 🙂
The colours on the parts shown are, apart from the primer with black acrylic paint, Alclad II metal paints, namely Gunmetall, Steel... and above all Alclad ''Panzer Grey''. Traces of various shades of pastel crayon brown have been applied on top with a dry brush.

Juergen KlinglhuberSehr cooles Projekt - ganz nach meinem Geschmack. I'm curious about the outcome.

Robert PodkońskiTaking a seat here, of course! (I have built another incarnation of this kit...)

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy@Robert Podkoński : Me too! Much less details than this one though...
Taking a seat!

Roland SachsenhoferHello Rene, the seat is happily yours, but the show is already over 🙂
I am proud to present you the completed 'Trevithick'! It was great fun taking photos of this gearwheel, linkage and flywheel work of wonder. Please excuse the resulting large number of pictures.
This time Alclad paints were used for the colour scheme, but not only from the metal range: what you see here is Alclad's 'Panzergrau' primer, together with 'Gunmetal' and 'Smoke' and similar shades. I have replaced the plastic parts for the push rods with metal bars. I hope you like the result as much as I enjoyed building it!

gorbyNice result Roland.
I was wondering how they added more coal to the boiler when the tender is so far away and the boiler door is under the pistons.
5 November, 12:08
Roland SachsenhoferThank you very much, mates! This is highly appreciated and motivating feedback! I'm glad to have ventured into an area new to me; the kit, for all its age, has charm and possibilities 🙂 Your words really make me very happy!

Juergen KlinglhuberGreat what you have mangaged with this kit in such a short time - wunderful!
5 November, 17:21
Roland Sachsenhofer.... and Gorby: You're absolutely right! The layout of the loading and coal tender also seems puzzling to me 🙂

gorbyI had a look into this and it turns out the original company who produced this kit got it wrong:

Sorry Roland. 😉

Bruce HuxtableGoodness! You wouldn't want to get your fingers (or hair) trapped in the moving parts!!
Nice build, Roland, I'm enjoying the sound-track to the video, whilst admiring your model 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferThank you very much for sharing this great video! Yes, Bruce, a highly dangerous device, and a highly illustrative demonstration of it too

Nathan DempseyThat's a beautiful build! Excellent idea to create sagging on the kit supplied tires.

TreehuggerQ: Did WW2 ships have a de-gaussing cable on the side of the hull at the start of the war? Anyone know?
Would it make sense that ships didn't have a de-gaussing cable attached in 1940? Presumably, this cable makes the hull less magnetic, to avoid triggering mines, unsure. Hm, on second though, I guess WW1 also had mines around so maybe not a novel invention this de-gaussing cable.

Michael KohlThe name of the last Leo strongly suggested such a comparison. Nice to see those two so well done. Fine groundwork too.

Snake PlisskenNever seen those brown headsets for Bundeswehr tank crew; is that just a style variant?
Don't forget the tank antennas! Tanks had full communication activated (tank to tank and tank to headquarters) even on training maneuvers.

I did this from recollection. I remember the headsets itself as brown - but I should probably have paintzed the headband as black.
Should have checked some old references, I guess-
