Hi Gents,

Well I know many have been waiting some time for this next kit so I hope it's what you all were expecting.....LOL

Wordsworth brought you the diesel storage tanks, now here are the fueling pumps to go with the set.

This new kit will be uploaded Friday evening / early Saturday morning. Construction is very simple using off cuts of 2mm & 1mm card, the fuel pipes are made from green garden wire, but electrical wire or those very thin shoes laces should do the trick.

Have fun & I'll catch you all later.
Mike.

Hi Gents,

Just thought I'd give this little update, it would appear the Diesel pump kit had a few issues in that some users how were using Adobe couldn't get the kit to actually print, it would reach 43% & hang. Which is odd as FoxIT reader had no problem.

Anyway after many hours stripping the file apart I traced the issue to some parts within the image design. I had put some rivet / screw effects within the design which for some reason just upset the final pdf creation.

I still don't know why it's caused this issue in this kit & I've used the same design many times in quite a few other kits without any issues at all ?

Anyway the offending items have been removed & now the kit is fully printable in Adobe.

Sorry if this kit has been causing you problems, it's been a real pain in the old rear to me......LOL

On the kit update front I thought I'd share with you that the Coaling stage/ramp kit has just been completed, I'm now about to place this into the proto type build phase which means I'll have some photo's for you all very soon. I think this one should be another winner with you all as it has detailed interior complete with little coal carts & real windows, & for those who like fitting LEDS inside kits, well this kit is for you.

Catch you all later.
Mike.

Hi David,

I'm just glad that the kits help others, it can be quite an expensive hobby we've chosen so saving a penny here & a penny there all helps.

I'd like to share & give a sneak preview of the coaling ramp I've been working on for some time. I've got the kit to the proto type build so it should be long now before it's seen on the web site.

Until then lets have a look at the kit so far.

Inside the supervisors office.

Quick peak at the coal loading area interior.

Looking into the building through the loading extension complete with little coal carts.

Right hand side external view.

The basic front view.

Coal loading extension bay.

I've still a fair bit to do before it's all finished but I believe you can see enough now on how the completed kit is going to look.

Happy Easter, & have fun with the kit building.
Mike.

Hi Gents,

I've completed the main building for the coaling ramp, just need to design the ramps now.

Here's how the main building looks.

A J13 pulls up wanting some coal in it's bunker.

General overview of the main building.

I believe this will form yet another useful kit in the Wordsworth Range.

Catch you all later,
Mike.

Hi Gents,

Just a very quick announcement, the coaling stage building is now available for download, the ramps will follow in a separate kit a little later, just making a few adjustments.

Also uploaded are three new style brick paper effects & a nice new addition to the range is a wooden floor effect.


Coaling stage & extension ramp section


Brick arches add some depth to the ramps.


Two step versions are included depending where you have the office, this shows the office on the ground floor.


Just showing the diesel pump with some added detail using one of the small huts within the Wordsworth Range & a pallet (Kit still in development)

So lets get downloading & put a little enjoyment into your lives....

Catch you all later.

Hi Gents,

Well I'm still haunting everyone with the Wordsworth Range.

Long over due the latest upload has just been posted, this time in the form of a Modern style industrial unit. Why not take a peak, below are a few photo's of the new kit.


This shows you two of the unit's side by side.



Kit comes complete with various name boards, unit numbers, can have the roller shutters down or up, you also have a choice of using the kit as printed or cut out the roller shutter / doors & use the ones on the inner surface for greater depth.

I've tried to keep this one nice & simple but with some builder options.

Hope you all enjoy.
Mike.
