rob D2 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 24 hr turn round from Steve - outstanding service ! And first time i'll be using the 3D shed plates - they look like a fantastic answer to no longer filing down etched plates tabs ! This is the fourth identity this Bachmann 37 has had - can't afford new Bachmann and awaiting Accurascale so this is my low cost solution ! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted August 14, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Brilliant service from Steve once more. I ordered some BR/WR 3D printed numberplates/shedcode plates for my new Dapol Manor 7827. The arrived very promptly and with the usual excellent communication. A great product and they certainly help to lift a lovely model. (*Nameplates are factory Dapol printed) Blog entry below... Cheers, Mark (Happy Customer!)

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted August 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 21, 2022 Quick question, do we gloss varnish before applying, or will it be okay straight on a satin finish? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John Isherwood Posted September 11, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2022 Just now, RedgateModels said: Too shiny for me Klear before applying transfers; Klear over transfers to seal them; Testors Dullcote (or whatever you prefer to give the finish you desire). Why DO people believe that they have to apply their preferred finish directly to transfers? It is a recipe for almost certain disaster! John Isherwood, Cambridge Custom Transfers.

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted September 11, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Hi Ian - I’ve had problems in the past with Humbrol acrylic varnish blooming. I’ve recently used Vallejo acrylic gloss/satin/Matt varnish in combination with Railtec transfers with no problems. Fast drying and a joy to airbrush. They also work well with John’s transfers too.

Klear IS acrylic varnish. I now apply my transfers INTO wet Klear - that way the transfer film is immersed and sealed within the Klear, and NO carrier film is visible. When dry, I spray Testors Dullcote for a completely matt finish. You need to be confident with waterslide transfers to apply them into wet Klear - it dries quickly!

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted September 11, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2022 Railtec transfers used to renumber a Hornby class 91. I only use this method for small transfers like numbersets, don’t think I’m brave enough to try it with anything larger ! Old number scraped off with a cocktail stick ( or thumbnail !). Transfer soaked in Klear, not water. A brush is used to add a very small amount of Klear to the model where the transfer is to be applied. Transfer slid onto wet patch on model. Cocktail stick used to adjust position of transfer. A cotton bud damp with water is rolled ( not dragged ) over transfer to remove excess liquid. Allowed to dry fully, usually overnight, then a light airbrush coat of varnish over the top, in this case it was Humbrol enamel satin varnish, but I also use Humbrol enamel Matt varnish, depending on the finish I require. As John says, you’ve got to be quick, but adding more Klear with a brush does allow more time for adjustments if necessary. The speed is more essential for removing excess Klear from the model before it dries. Best method I’ve found for eliminating the sight of carrier film, not that there’s much of it around the numbers anyway ! This is the only time I use Klear, it seems to cause me more problems than it solves otherwise. Cheers, Phil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo 079 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Massive thank you to Steve at Railtec models. My Heljan 45106 arrived yesterday and I quickly decided that what it really needed was some proper depot plaques. Having used Railtec 3d plaques, this was an obvious choice, but 106's plaques had a red background. I enquired if this might be possible and Steve quickly replied in the affermitive. The actual word he used was "absolutely". So within the same day the item was up on the website. Item Id PL2024. So if you have a 45106 and would like these, please let him know. Also suitable for 47186 as Catcliffe Demon in RfD and possibly others. If anyone knows of any other locos which sported red back white rose plated, please let Steve or myself know. In conclusion, spectacular customer service, as always. Kevin Edited November 8, 2022 by apollo 079 Typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
