      Those are incredible! ๐Ÿ˜

      What with all the tanks, Railroad Engines, cartoon characters & cars. . .where do you guys find the time to do all of this amazing stuff??? Is this for some kind of Museum or historical Diarama commission? If you say this is all just for fun I am going to be sooooo jealous. ๐Ÿ’š

      If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

        Thank you kindly!

        Well, originally I modeled these engines in hope that I can convert them for use in Microsot Train Simulator and/or Rail Simulator hence why I kept them under 50,000 polys (that's the graphics engine limit per model) I think the average work-hours per locomotive is 18-20.. I did two in one week.. and I've been postpoing the texture because the game requires a square UV texture map..

          are these all modelled in sketchup?

          Well yes, otherwise why would I be posting on this forum, thanks.

          How do you achieve line overlay, I'm thinking export the 2D image of the model and overlay it onto the rendering in Photoshop?

          haha...you'd be surprised what is posted and not modelled in sketchup ๐Ÿ˜‰

          as far as the overlay.. .yes, very simple.. export the 3d..overlay in pshop.. go into layers/blending mode and set it to multiply and the white goes away.

                  Thank you, the textures are originally from photos (70%) and the rest I had to cook up myself. I'm hoping the others will look a bit better though.

                                Originally I had planned to make them for Microsoft Train Simulator/Rail Simulator so I was limited to 50,000 polys per model, this particular locomotive is my 2nd model since I started using Sketchup, the rest will follow up soon in the 'textured bin' (hopefully). More to come.. (not just locomotives)

                                  Outstanding result, Radu!
                                  Sincer vorbind, ma furnica pe spinare, dat fiind faptul ca am facut liceul la cfr, si in perioada de practica, mi-am petrecut timpul stergand motorina prin panaramele astea de LDE-uri. Esti meserias...bravos!

                                      As a railfan I sure do envy the fact that you got to smell and hear (and clean) the delightful SULZER 12LDA28 engine.

                                          Went back to refine this game model a bit, better textures, better geometry:
