Hi Jon,
Cracking repaints - but could I recommend Paul Mitchell's 25 as a base? IMO, its much more authentic shapewise for a 25

Hi Dave
Thanks.......funnily enough I was looking at those lastnight.......and they are excellent shapes, recessed doors and handrails, revolving rad fan etc.
Done too much on these now to start again (about 25 hours).... but I might ask Paul in the future.
Cheers
Jon

Hmm, just looked at Paul's model - one that never caught on but one that would look fantastic once you've applied your skills to it JB! Mark Shipman's model always showed too much daylight underneath the loco (look between and underneath the buffer-beam) and for some strange reason this has always bugged me.
Over to you JB!

Hi
Thanks Andy.
The upload will include 25052,25155 25223 and 25221 as an AI.
If you have any full side on views it would be appreciated (as I can't do weathered).
I would also like to do an early version (with doors), but haven't managed to find a good front end shot.
Once they are uploaded, anyone's more than welcome to do number swop's.
Cheers
Jon

Hi
Uploaded
Includes 25052 25221 25223 25225 and 25155
Oh and I should add that if anyone fancies doing other numbers (All should be possible now except 25083-086) feel free to use the base models/skins.
Mark generously gave the models to the community....and I lay no claim to the bits I've done.
Cheers
Jon
