O scale Best 60 - Karl. A

edited February 8 in O Scale Builds
Time to start work on the Best 60 O Scale kit and see what I can do with it...
Nice box !

sw001

Everything is extremely well packaged, not only does it look great but everything is well protected.

sw002

The 3D printed parts are exceptionally well detailed and super crisp and clean.
As always with SW 3D prints, there are no supports to remove or anything to clean off. So, it's straight to the modelling.

I applied the parts to some sticks and now it's "PrimeTime"

sw004

Primer is drying, hopefully more tomorrow.

  • Amazing how much real looking detail Brett has incorporated into so few parts that need to be assembled.

    Base layer of yellow paint sprayed on.

    sw005

    Minor amount of chipping and scratching done, I don't want it decrepit.

    sw006

    Some tonal washes to dull down and detail painting started.

  • Great start Karl.
  • Looks great, Karl. Love the yellow.
  • Nice looking already. Glad you kept the weathering down a bit on this one.

  • Really neat to watch you transition the base yellow to the final worn-in look.
  • Wow...those track pieces are outstanding!
  • Looking great Karl!!
  • Looking really nice...I need to order another...I need one in yellow too...
  • Thanks guys, appreciate the comments.
    The pieces are amazing indeed, it was time to start epoxying things together tonight.

    I did some more work on the tracks tonight and then epoxied on the two roof supports, the tow hitch, gas tank and the controls.
    Just the tracks and roof to epoxy on tomorrow, I'm going to let the supports and gas tank cure over night before messing with it any more.

  • Looks really good, karl. Great weathering. Looking forward to seeing it when it;s done.
  • This is looking great.
  • Very nice! I like the color, and the weathering is amazing!
  • Beautifully done. Always a treat to follow your builds
  • Thanks so much Tom and Joel, great to read you.

    I'm just sitting here waiting for the epoxy on the tracks and roof to cure so that I can move it and take some ‘nice’ pics.

  • These are nice picks. Randy
  • The worn metal is so perfect. I love rust and bare metal. Just fantastic. Could you review your "system" to get such realistic results?
  • Very nicely done Karl. You may have talked me into doing mine in yellow.
  • Fantastic build. Yes,it's on my bucket list postage is a killer to Australia.
  • Thanks so much Guys, appreciate the comments.

  • Used but not used up. Great work Karl. Randy
  • That last picture. Simply the BEST.
  • That last shot is the money! Beautiful.
  • Karl,
    I especially like how you paired the Best 60 Tractor with the SWSM structure for the final photo. It gives the tractor model a sense of scale.
