        Old trams have 10x the appeal to the modern trams. Less is more.

                  That came out really good. I was wondering how you got the side image. Panorama shot?

                    I took about 30 photos and merged them in photoshop and deleted the windows and filled the texture with AI.

                    a also took a 3D Scan but this is not usable

                              Very smart. 3D printing really must have completely disrupted the mini-model market. Never really thought about until I saw your trains.

                              The cost to print vs buying a kit must be an order of magnitude cheaper.

                                        jo-ke. With this sort of project you are indeed the Mr Kipling of render/build. You make exceedingly good (Cake) projects.
