Just Finished the wives Xmas present to me. Hope you like it. Beached, delivering coal.

Note no name yet but I thought it could be SIG 144 (Scottish Isle,s Grouser 144) unless someone else can come up with something better?
Really enjoyed building it. Good base to add extra detail which is what I did but maybe could have done better.

Lovely scene, been eyeing that kit up for a while. Complex to build?

I found it a pretty easy model to build as supplied but I added hull plate details with Halford,s grey primer and opened the hold, crew access and engine room for the beach scene.

Also added some steam supply pipes to the winch

The dark bits are the bits I added.

Malcolm that's a cracking job - dearly though I like aeroplanes it is good to see something so original and full of character - I'm intrigued by using Halfords primer for the hull plating - that's often overdone in our scale, given the interest any chance of a more detailed build description for the 'Review' section?

For better or worse I've done as you asked. See review section.
