Steam Locomotive Central Pacific N°60 Jupiter - 1:45 - MODELIK

[elliott]

The frame and springs are looking very good Kurt. The drive wheels should be interesting, especially with the running gear.

Hello

New year, new luck tinkering .............
Three rings per wheel, where I cut inside with the cutter and out with scissors, glue together.
With the rims rings color comes into the game, but there are lot of detailed work

Steamloco wheels in 1:45 is always a huge challenge. That's why I use laser cut sets. I made "analog" wheels in 2 models only.

[airdave]

The challenge is the whole point.

Glad to see someone actually cutting things out.

Hello ,

@ Marcin : lacer cut is good , but I don´t like so much painting , my favorit is pure papermodels , but sometimes I also use laser cut´s .

@ airdave : YESSSSSS that´s it

now let´s go on ........

The rings connect, and the hubs assembling. The wheel stencil I have to prevent with cling film coated to sticking of the spokes.
After fixing of the rim ring we go with the spokes. With thin red stripes, the spokes are covered, thus results in the intermediate result.


Kind regards
Kurt

[Marcin Jakubiec]

Well, so far so good. You're lucky that "Jupiter" has only 4 wheels with spokes. Think about OKz 32 (DR 95 class)

Hi Marcin ,

that´right , when there are so much weehls it´better to use the laser cut

let´go on ............

The treads 19c are a little too short. At the wheel aperture circle cutting is called for, with the star aperture the hub is covered.
With wheel flange and spacer washers behind the front and the drive wheels are almost ready. After the wheel flanges stain with Aquacolor silver must
this dry before the first fitting is done.

kind regards
Kurt

Impressive work, Kurt!

[Styrian Spitfire]

Thank you Fred

little progress ...............
The two axes of the drive wheels, the controller whose linkage are pushed onto the axle, but do not stick !! Plan means pay close attention to the orientation!
The whole set into the frame and connect with the sliders.

nice greetings Kurt

Frame finale ........

The small counter bearing is cultivated on both sides, and I the edge dyeing only after assembly at the Mini parts.
The next small parts are loosely placed on the axis around this easily with the controller to glue .It follows the center spring package.

Kind regards Kurt
