Hi, Dolf and everyone else.

I found this site and this post while researching Trains.
Your work here Dolf inspired me to get Sketch Up and try and
model some sort of train related thing like a Box Car, Flat Bed,
or maybe a Tanker.

I spent this whole weekend gathering reference material
about or of Trains in particular Trucks or if you prefer Bogies
because I figured that would be the best place to start a train modeling project.
Start from the ground up right?

While I admit I don't really know Sketch Up all
that well I have been doing computer graphics on
and off for 11 years.

If you guys want I can give you all my reference
images and drawings.Maybe they will be of so help to you?

In return all I ask is that you just use them as reference
and education because all of it is from the web and also you share
with me any information you might have that will help me model the
objects required to complete the 3D train model like a Flat Bed Car
for example.

Kind Regards,
Jeff Andrews

Very nice models. I always wanted to try making one on
the computer as I do build the plastic model kits sometimes.

One thing tho about the Tiger II is the
Red Rrown you used looks like German ww2 red primer.
It's possible that they used that for camo in 44/45.

What references are you using for colors?

Hi, I just joined and am looking forward to
hanging out here, meeting new people and
learning.
