Future projects - class 37, a 121 and life getting in the way!

Little progress on anything related to modelling this month, only one blog post reflects a lack of any activity. In short, life has all been work and this looks set to continue into the near future. However, significantly buoyed by my recent class 121 project and class 25 repaint, I have stripped a couple more models ready for repainting. Both were submerged in a bath of superstrip. Interestingly, the superstrip removed any details glued on the old lima body shell with superglue, but not araldite. Anyhow, I guess both these shells will be waiting around a while before any further happens, but when I next get started on a modelling session they are ready to go.

The class 121 is the Hornby model, orignally in NSE livery, but now stripped ready for a repaint into a slightly faded BR blue and yellow scheme. The glazing will also be redone with a flushglaze pack and I intend to add a lot of smaller detailing parts.

The class 37 is an old lima model favourite. It certainly reminds of teenage days and a desire to get into 'proper modelling'. This one will also be repainted into a faded BR blue livery, building on the lessons I learnt on my previous class 25 repaint. I have a variety of grills and body detailing parts to add.

Anyhow, I guess these and all my other projects will have to wait a while. Hopefully I will be back to modelling by August, but until then I think progress and updates will be limited.
