Yeah, talking about details, aren't these beautiful models really laggy?

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

dolphus

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

My first peep at MAGLEV.....

Thanks Pilou looks as if the "air Train concept" could become challenging to model thanks for the "Ideas"

Well well well over 300 peeps but not 1 comment on the "maglev" project ....i suppose a no comment also says something....so moving on....

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

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)
