Good evening from 'The Dockyard'. A few more details were added to the Engine Room this week. The attached photo shows an overhead valve handwheel, made from the supplied kit, painted and ready for fitting. The two white metal gauges were sourced from a model railway supplier and were painted in their respective red for port, green for starboard colours. Sticky Wickett attached the following image(s): Completed projects: 1/43 scale Bedford HA van / 1/43 scale MG TD sports car
Current projects: 1/48 scale U-boat [U230]
Future projects: 1/148 scale railway diorama / 1/50 scale R/C Volvo F89 logging truck / 1/148 scale Thunderbirds Fireflash

The first of the attached images shows the dial face for the previous mentioned gauges. This was cropped in Paint 3D, resized in Powerpoint, printed, then covered with a thin, transparent plastic film to simulate glass and finally, as seen in the second image, two were made and fitted. I also added 0.3mm diameter solder to replicate wires. Sticky Wickett attached the following image(s): Completed projects: 1/43 scale Bedford HA van / 1/43 scale MG TD sports car

The attached images show some paperwork as i wanted to add something to the noticeboard and also to the desk. I sourced a couple of relevant images, again, cropped in Paint 3D, resized in Powerpoint, printed and fixed with double sided tape.

That concludes the update for this week. Next week should see the final part to building the Engine Room. I have to weather and fit the exhaust pipe to the starboard diesel engine, paint, position and fit two crew members and a final oil/rust application to any areas i feel require it. Thanks for looking in, have a great weekend and happy modelling!  Regards, Phil W. Completed projects: 1/43 scale Bedford HA van / 1/43 scale MG TD sports car
