ScaleX Burrell 1/16 traction engine build thread

[Prolex-UK]

Kit arrived a few days ago.

Very impressed with the quality of the kit parts.

A few pictures of the parts on their sprues to get the ball rolling.

Box cover and paints bought.

Enamel paints for boiler wheels and some trim


Transfers

Parts now




























Will start work proper in 2 weeks all being well with my current build

There’s a lot of sprue to cut off isn’t there. Is the plastic quite soft?

Fairly.

But it is a PITA.

You also have to rub the bit down most of the time.

Will take my time and only do the bits I require at a time to prevent boredom

That looks like 3D printed resin?

That it is

A little progress.

Just clipped together.

Will now touch up some areas before assembly.

Fit and moulding is first rate.

[Prolex-UK]

Assembled the bits above.

Quite pleased with it.

Well now look at applying transfers while is is easyish to get to.
