I like what you did with Rebecca. The Spencer/Molly type wheels looks cool and the added Gordon side rods top it off.

You are really making lots of progress on your Spring Break Ffar. I love the color combination on the D199...is his name Boogaloo?

No, but he does have two nicknames: "Old Reliable" (which is actually cynical) and "Spamcan" (as he is better known). The Wikipedia article on the film Breakin' 2 says:

The subtitle "Electric Boogaloo", originally a reference to a funk-oriented dance style of the same name, has entered the popular culture lexicon as a snowclone nickname to denote an archetypal sequel. The usual connotation is of either a ridiculous sequel title, or of the follow-up to an obscure or eclectic film (or other work).

3/18/2022 Update

Brake Coaches for @HydesR01:
Filled in with Milliput and Tamiya Putty. Both were Green Express coaches. The Red Coach is a pretty close match and was painted using TS-7 Racing White, TS-14 Black, TS-49 Bright Red, and TS-4 German Grey. The Green coach was painted using TS-7 Racing White.


Well Wagons for @HydesR01:
TS-4 German Grey.


Scotsman being Problematic as Usual:


Rebecca:
Footplate painted in Matte Snow White, mouth changed to grinning.


Daisy:
Shapeways shell by Out of Oil (@RealMrTreeMan)
Painted in Tamiya Light Grey Primer, TS-34 Camel Yellow, TS-49 Bright Red, TS-14 Black, and Matte Snow White by Apple Barrel. The face didn't turn out well the first time but the paint wasn't really sticking. Oil-based pink and light blue sharpies were dipped into water and were applied like blush.


Daisy for @HydesR01:
Primed and windows drawn out.


Pinchy:
1/6 Tubing was used with a nail as the joint.


D261:
Started on D261 by cutting off the nose ends again. 0.25 mm polystyrene was used to fit a basic framework which was used to later apply 0.75 mm polystyrene ontop to get a basic framework down.

3/24/2022 Update

Daisy:
Yeah she's done. TS-34, X-15, TS-14, TS-49.


D261:
Just need to fill in some gaps and add the buffers.


Old Slow Coach:
Finishing up the reshaping of Old Slow Coach, starting the Tedious process of painting her on Saturday.

Love that Camel Yellow Daisy

Actually, X-15 is the light green used for the main body. TS-34 ("Camel Yellow") is only for the primer and yellow lining.

I never had any Tamiya products, so I looked up the paint numbers she mentioned.

3/27/22 Update

More commission-related stuff. Finishing the other coaches tomorrow hopefully.
Also, big package from Japan arrived with that big lot and the flatbeds + their corresponding characters (Terence and Caroline not shown)
