Well, here are some progress photos of my project. Lots more to do, Like produce about 1500 rivets...yikes!
It is a BR50, inspired by "Fanatics Dioramas", a French magazine...

Wow! This is going to be totally scratchbuilt? I've wanted to do a Kriegslocomotive for a dio, and I see Dragon are releasing a couple, don't think I could attempt to scratchbuild one though. Fantastic! How are you going to build the 'running gear'? No idea what it's called on an engine!

I would probably use the "water filter" technique at this point.
