My project to construct an armoured train for the RCW / Back of Beyond rolls onwards…albeit quite slowly ;o).

Two wagons down and one (or two) to go, together with the locomotive and tender, which are next in the production line

More on the project on the blog:

This is an ingenious approach to building the train and a good read – thanks thumbs up!

Looks very good.

That's a great job you're doing on the armored train. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product.

That's splendid work! I find Lego essential for 'near future' sci fi modelling, but your efforts take the cake.

What are you using to glue the styrene sheet to the Lego? I found regular styrene glues quite useless with Lego, although acrylic solvent works pretty well.

Thanks :O)

I just used a combination of styrene sheet and polystyrene cement, although a lot of the armour plating is Renendra bases.

Blimey. That's a bit good. Impressive.
