[Stepney the 'Bluebell' Engine]

Bought the model from a Toy Fair today for £60.

Den

[Stepney the 'Bluebell' Engine]

It will eventually become Den, i just need to sort out the chassis and make it 0-4-0 instead of 0-6-0, possibly gonna order parts from Branchlines to make this possible, since they stock the bits needed for the cranks e.t.c.

Face is still being decided, but hopefully will get the correct one later in the week, my cards are on the take-n-play den being the most accurate.

[branmas]

Ohhhhh. Still looks sweet though!

Good luck on making "Den"

[Stepney the 'Bluebell' Engine]

Thanks guys.

The parts i ordered from Branchlines to make Den have arrived, so i shall be working on him this weekend, expect new photos of his progress to be posted very soon.

[Stepney the 'Bluebell' Engine]

Den's progress has been very slow, but, alot of good progress made been made, despite the slight setback with the body earlier in the week, which has now been corrected.

There are still gaps to fill in before the model will be ready for primer, but this is currently how he looks at the moment. ^^

Before the mishap, how the body would have been originally.



And how it looks now, with clever work and careful time building the new shell.



I will have more updates soon folks, thanks to all for taking interest in the works i do, and hope that you will enjoy seeing future stuff as well.

Looks fantastic! 

[Stepney the 'Bluebell' Engine]

Looks fantastic!  

Thanks mate, the face is a perfect fit, so all i gotta do now is fill in the gaps and then he's ready for painting.


EDIT: heres a quick update, progress also showing Dennis is coming along too.

[Cirkit:)]

Too bad about the body mishap. From what I can see, Den's coming along great.
And Dennis too! The method is a bit interesting, using the Trackmaster body with OO kit parts.. I look forward to seeing how both turn out.

[Calebtrain]

They look very smart! You've been doing a lot of Diesels latley, Diesel 10, Paxton, Den, Dennis. lol. They still look awesome, though.

[Stepney the 'Bluebell' Engine]

Cheers for that guys.

My main aim at the moment is to finish off all the Diesels i currently am working on, then go back and work on the Steamies and rework some older ones, hehe, and you can be sure that no details will be left out, i am doing my best now to ensure that all models are completed to the best i can get them at, regardless of who has the 'best' models.

Like I've said before, people can say that they have the best models, but, i like to think that they only pass comments like that to get reactions out of people, and this is why i do the models how i want them to be, not because i am looking for any excuse to suddenly start a slurring match over who models what.

Brilliant job on Dennis.
If there's going to be a TM Norman, will h be done, too?
