"I love the smell of Laser Burnt MDF in the morning, it smells of gaming". Ok that's a pretty muddled paraphrasing of Col Kilgore but it is an accurate description of the scent in the Lair as I've been assembling a lot of Sarissa Precsision 28mm rail road kits.
Sarissa has a large selection of rolling stock and the models are very fun to put together.*. The first picture shows the assembled
Pannier Engine and freight cars set. The set is a great deal and I highly recommend it. I tossed in a 28mm Perry DAK officer figure for scale.
If there are trains, then there must be some track, so I picked up a few track packs from Sarissa also. They are very simply to put together but one tip is to paint the rails and ties BEFORE assembling the tracks.
The completed train - sorry the picture is a little dark
A dark grey, rust streaked engine and flat car.
The rest of the rolling stock. Why am I building a 28mm railroad? Well you may see it in an upcoming LWTV episode....
* Usually Sarissa Precision kits are a joy to put together but one has to be in the right frame of mind - if you're in a rush, well then thing s might go awry.
"...for a dollar a day"
ReplyDeleteNice train set Miles - look forward to seeing it painted up :)
That trains looking great Miles. I too am a great fan of Sarissa kits and find them a lot of fun to build and paint up. And yes the aroma....
ReplyDeleteIts great to see the SP freight cars built and painted. I built a track section for my Pulp Alley table and have been contemplating getting some cars.
