      Thanks Doug. I'll look.

      Hornoxx and Rich, if you click on the last two images you should see the full size version of them. And thank you!

                  Here's a detail showing some of the screw threads. Added some color in the render.

                      Thank you sir. Maybe it makes up for my lack of skill with rendering that you have. 😉

                        The best renders are the ones that convey the right amount of details.

                        This is one of those renders where you appreciate the accuracy and level of modelling involved.

                        Not one where errors are disguised using texture maps etc

                        Cannot wait for you to animate it 😛

                          Dave your rendering skills are more than “just fine”. We just generally do different types of modeling….. my craziness just allows for weirder results 👍 😆

                            Dave your rendering skills are well above “average”. We just generally do different types of modeling….. my craziness just allows for weirder results 👍 😆

                              Thank you Rich and Charles.

                              Rich, I expect I'll need to build out the shop more before I try to animate it. 😉

                                      This is getting better and better. I was going to say, when is the animation coming but Rich beat me to it.

                                        I got a little sidetracked.

                                        Front axle I-beam from around 1905.

                                          That's some delicious modelling in the axle. Especially the top of the neck as it tapers and bends.
