Falcon in 7mm from heljan and other locomotives

[40126]

Hello Brian,

this is about the closest that I've found,

All of the drawing that show him in blue shorts show a white tee shirt. It looks like Babar is the one in the white tee shirt we need the name of the one in the yellow tee shirt.

OzzyO.

A bit of fun, back on WT, I love it

That'll be his cousin Fubar

Precision Labels has just done these that will do just fine.

Interesting that he's done the jumper as yellow (can't see the stripes though) - I wonder if he had access to a colour photo.

The link you put up Pugsley had a description of what the photo was underneath - in that it said the shorts were blue and the T shirt yellow.
No stripes as you say though.

A Falcon has just landed in deepest Oxfordshire

I am not putting any pictures up just yet though, see what the Danes want to do first. But believe me when I say it looks very nice indeed.

John Peck @ Precision does do some wonderful transfers=- and always at a very reasonable cost.

cheers

Brian,
I take it that the rather good decal saves me from further drawing. good as it means that I can push on with this.



Apologies for the rabbit hole.

So it does - I hadn't noticed that!

I wouldn't put your etch-a-sketch away just yet Simon until we see what these flat but very nice decals look like on it.

Before anyone comments I have just copied this from the RMweb thread on this model.

Now if you had waited for me to put a picture up I would have put up a nicer picture. Now as you can see in the picture in my garden of my sample there is a ruddy great big gap between the bufferbeam and body! This looks awful so with a little help from Photoshop we closed it up for the press release picture. We know why it's like this and it will be corrected of coarse. I have now got my sample painted in blue but just need to add transfers and try and paint that raised side beading silver with a bow pen I think. Overall I am very pleased with it but as it's the first made up sample there a few little issues to sort out so don't knock it just yet.

As to when it's available, I think they were aiming for the end of the year.

Merry Christmas to me then hopefully !!!!!
