RAILWAY DRAWING

I would have guessed the same as Charley2008, but now i think it is a tandem bike!
Jokes. Your trains are honestly impressive. Breathtaking. Flabbergasting. Astounding. (ran out of adjectives. )

And adaptation to Sketchyphysics for real animation?

Hi Pilou don't you think that i am not having enough heart ache learning to model in scetchup now you want me to compete with my grandsons in lego. hanks for the link i will download it one day when i feel like punishing myself again '' keep well

Slow but steady progress..
The fulcrum of the pump lever

More of the frame....

Note the handles for lifting the handcar off the rails ...when BIG BROTHER comes

"Polly Saving" = win some polys who are not visible behind some pieces?

Sorry for the question but for me Polly is a name so I want to be sure

And the completed Rail-hand car

Fantastic, Dolphus, simply fantastic...and the details

Swindel · 13 Jan 2010, 21:51

Yeah, talking about details, aren't these beautiful models really laggy? By the way, can you render your machines? (sorry if you already do this, and I can't remember from when i skimmed through all the pages).

Have fun Modelling You should try something like those sci-fi magnet propelled monorail thingies! That'd be quite cool

No pain, no gain They're probably a little laggy, but I'm sure Dolphus uses components to maximize Sketchup performance

dolphus · 14 Jan 2010, 04:58

Thanks for your comments guys ....and yes i have been eyeballing "maglev etc" as a future project ....watch this space
As to rendering i do not have much success (Kerky) so i stick to something i have more success with

dolphus · 14 Jan 2010, 15:09

My first peep at MAGLEV.....
