Very nice well done

Today i was preoccupied with "real world things" like earning a living sa i took a break from the main project and drew a rolling stock unit after all the loco is going to need trucks

All-Purpose “Husky Stack” well car

The boiler is not drawn accurately yet and some of the valve components nee tweeking

Awesome. really good work hope to see lots more

I DID NOT MAKE MUCH PROGRESS TODAY,,,STILL LOOKING (THANKS GAIUS)FOR FRONT VIEW AND PLAN VIEW, THE WHEELS ARE TRICKY BUT CAME OUT FAIRLY WELL

Thanks Gaieus i will start exploring right away.. keep you posted

when i starter on the GP 9 DIESEL LOCO MY HEART WAS SAYING "WE SHOULD BE DOING A STEAM LOCO ... NOT A f!#$%^ING DIESEL
But i fairness the GP 9 gave me the confidence to tackle a detailed steam loco my choice was dictated by
the plan that i could get i still only have a side view (no plan or front/rear or sectional views) anyone know where i can get more steam loco plans?
However i will have to guess, deduce and thumb suck to create a 3d model from the plan that i have
Progress so far

Looking good keep up the good work keep posting

Glad that i am not the only one who's whole life fits in to his laptop, glad you and project live to fight another day

ALL SCI FI MODELLING WELCOME KEEP IT UP

Very interesting when are we going to get another "starship" keep on posting please

Thanks again if i get a chance i will texture and detail the undercart and you could have another go?
thanks again it looks good

I LOVE THE DETAIL PITY ONE HAS TO DEAL WITH GROWING POLLY COUNT WELL DONE

thanks for trying i must say it still looks good i did not think that the wheel etc would look so good, thank you once more
i will sometime re-draw the loco with less detail ...or get my laptop sorted

Sounds like an exciting project lead on I for one will be following closely

Thanks Dantheman for the offer just jive me a chance to tidy it up then i will send it to you

I have not yet sorted out the problem of rendering in big files on my laptop so i have started a new project hoping to have a smaller polly to render.....my Tram..

I hear what you are saying and strength to you as i said please keep on posting you work is a joy to look at thanks

liam887 !!! Fantastic work thanks for posting, I am the last person in the world to talk about rendering, but why don't you give Kerkythea a try , it,s free and i find it a great thrill to see a model come to "life", your 2d images are great don't stop doing them

Sadly this is as far sa i can go with the problem on my laptop, this was done at an image size of 500x500 and the quick setting anything higher than this mt laptop switches itself off after about 8 minutes, i may get a chance to have it looked at next week....so for now the loco is on hold..thanks for the comments and discussion to all
