7mm Mickoo's Commercial Workbench

A trip last week to Mr Chips (Newark) and a rendezvous with that shady character Mr Crayon (Warren Haywood) in a car park saw the exchange of more goods on their way up and down the A1/A14.

First up for a speedy reassembly is the Gladiator K1, Warren has pre weathered the body and it doesn't need much more to be honest. The chassis (as is now my norm) was painted here and just needs some sympathetic weathering to blend the two in once I've added the cylinder wrapper lining and touched in the bright bits left over.

All in all a nice little build with a few 3D upgrades here and there, coal, glazing, backhead, couplings and blacked buffer heads to finish off.

Finally finished (virtually) the Finney Bulldog, bit of a chore this one sad to say.

I've just got to add the crankpin covers once the paint hardens and tune the DCC, I'm not adding the covers yet as once on they'll probably get damaged if I have to get back inside to sort anything out.
