Models and Me

Sat quietly at home, wasting my time as usual in front of the computer reading various forums, an old friend contacted me...

"Fancy a little dabble with 3D models", he says.

Well that was it, I haven't put it down since...

A brake van was the test subject...

Basic box construction with a curved roof...

A few more bits added such as a chassis and extension panels...


Abit more work to the chassis and added lookouts to the sides...

Over the week I added the 'fancy' bits, handrails, running boards, light brackets and brakes to the wheels. The wheel took a bit of making, it was not until the sixth attempt that I managed some thing like what they are supposed to be. :)



This is how it's left, took about three weeks to get to this stage and a lot of questions, probably won't do anything else to the model as it was built purely as a learning curve.

I was sick of looking at it and needed a new project...
