I’ve seen quite a few models of Gwyrfai crop up on my social media - including brass body kits and 3D prints - but I wonder how many will be finished off to this exacting standard?
The transfers have been quite a challenge this time.
Our favoured Fox products appear to have been updated, so whereas before some were a little too big, but just about fitted, now they definitely don’t.
So we’ve had to mix and match and with the help of an FR friend have obtain a sheet of the secret 3mm scale decals exclusively produced for members of the 3mm society.
These are what we’ve ended up using for the crests and also the name.
This was a bit of a saga.
The Fox sheets of old used to give you blank borders and alphabet sheets to make up the name of your choice - nowadays you can only buy sheets with a selection of ready-made names.
Himself tried more than once to slice these up to create a blank box and individual letters but - unusually for Fox products - the transfers broke up as he tried to apply them.
Perhaps just a bad batch?
So he’s ended up using the 3mm versions, which turned out to be a tiny bit bigger!
As the kids say - whatever!!
It’s going to look fabulous, isn’t it!
