Still working working here is the 80% completed pantograph setup

Swindel · 3 Feb 2010, 17:08

Wow all that stuff on the roof is impressive! How do you know all about it? Do you jump onto trains at night and take photos? Jks. Looking good!

dolphus · 4 Feb 2010, 06:09

Hi Swindle, no I'm not thsat brave but use photos and a lot of artistic license, here is the completed pantograph (note one arm deployed and one in the docked position)

tomislavm · 4 Feb 2010, 08:08

Super, this is what I like, precision and function!

pilou · 4 Feb 2010, 10:24

Very pedagogic!

Marian · 4 Feb 2010, 11:47

Wow, nice work there DOlf.
Man, I would pay to have your patience.

dolphus · 4 Feb 2010, 11:53

Thanks for the kind words chaps (i am blushing) ...
Here is the total progress so far ...11.7 Meg my laptop is groaning at the seams

dolphus · 6 Feb 2010, 15:15

Thought i would be finished by now ...but still some way to go...

You should bevel some more edges if your laptop can handle it, its always a pain when you want to go further but your computer wont let you!
Those electrical wires on top are great that must have taken forever! You 'HAVE' to render this you know.

dolphus · 7 Feb 2010, 11:00

Hi Liam thanks for the comment but you gotta believe that i would dearly like to detail the drivers cab etc but .......my laptop and i are an item
Getting there not to far to go now

liam887 · 7 Feb 2010, 14:40

When I used to use my old PC to model I had the same problem I got around it by making the whole model in about 10 different files then assembled them like a jigsaw to render usually in another app. Its troublesome and takes a long time but it gives good results. Anyway models still look great keep it up!
