How To Build The AX029-OO Palletised Loads Set 2 – Breeze Blocks

In this How To, Iain takes a look at the new AX029-OO Palletised Breeze Blocks Load and shows how easy they are to assemble.

Our recent release of our Palletised Loads Sets for OO gauge, these are also suitable for HO layouts / dioramas too. The kit in question can be found in our shop here: https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/shop/ax029-oo-palletised-loads-set-2-breeze-blocks-pack-of-12-oo4mm176/

The AX029-OO Breeze Blocks load, is ideal for the likes of Bachmann’s OO gauge Plasmor Block Freight OBA 31-tonne Open Wagon cat no: 38-042A. Also ideal for your yards, depots, lorries & trucks loads, other railway wagons, as well as building site scenes etc. The AX029-00 kit makes up 12 palletised loads. They are ideal for use where you need bulk freight loads to fill up a scene, but where minute detail isn’t essential.

The kit is very easy to assemble, tools needed are scissors or craft knife, (recommend using a cutting mat & steel ruler if using a craft knife) & glue. We also suggest using a a small file or file board for smoothing back the fret joining burs on the blocks. For gluing the texture wrap layer to the blocks, use the likes of a glue stick like Pritt Stick. For the core blocks use Deluxe Materials Card Glue which can be found here in our shop: https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/shop/deluxe-materials-ad-57-roket-card-glue/

In this video you’ll see how the kit is easily assembled:

An ideal kit for the beginner, suitable for modellers of all ages and abilities to try out. The kit is a good introduction for anyone new to the world of card / laser cut kits. Time wise this kit pack of 12 can be easily completed in an hour or so. So assembling a few packs of these kits makes an ideal project for an evening or afternoon’s modelling, which will see you soon building up loads for a number of wagons / trucks. Finally we’d suggest giving the completed pallet loads a covering in a matt varnish using an aerosol matt varnish spray can, these can be found in most good model shops.

Here’s a few photo’s of these  AX029-OO’s on a layout / diorama. On the wagons, the pallet loads still need to strapped & secured into place as per the real thing. We’ll be looking into doing the load straps, & once we’re happy with the test pieces we’ll introduce them to our product range….watch this space!!
