Another update!

Added/created: window wipers; 27 point connectors in front (the red and blue plug covers); window wind screens; window shade (still working on that); new decals in front of hood; fuel cap texture; manufacturer plate; tool box on side finished; door latches at 600 volt access panel; weathering; etc.

Also changed the gray to a lighter gray. I have to add the walk in front with chain and latch; some hoses and a valve for air brakes; etc. Train signal by others and the two figures are from D5 Render. Otherwise I slogged through almost every single piece of this model.

I tried to find reference drawings for most of it including blue prints for the trucks which have to be upgraded to a later model. Some things like the window shade apparatus and the tool box latch I had to do my best guess at the design using some fuzzy images.

No coincidence mate, when you posted the thread about your hometown I had a look around virtually.

You have a fine combination of classic and modern architecture which blends in with the subject and being local, you can physically look around for inspiration rather than on a screen.

That modern art gallery seems to me, to be the best setting but you will come up with a cracking result whatever gallery you choose.

Ta mate, slight hiccup due to life events but thoe windows are a regal pain in the you know what.

Not one constant dimension in any of them so I have decided to cheat and standardise elements.

Thanks for the compliment. I am still experimenting with the coating layer and maybe am not using the right template but the result is amazing.

Very nice!

LOL! Going to have to start fresh. The geometry is terrible. 😂

Ta mate, never really convinced by prints on white goods but thought I would give it a go. Better version with a few tweaks and mats coming.

Arghh, got busy and forgot. You may see why I like it.

Here's the pic.

Test complete,

Somehow I was able to do something that cannot be replicated. Neither tech support nor I can figure it out.

So this is done.

And shes finally online :
