Not only do you build fantastic houses, you also build trains.
It looks very interesting.
Is it for a magazine or?

Huge amount of rivets. You must be a very patient man Carlos

Nice - what are your plans for wheels and trucks?
I scratched built a rail car and those were the hardest part. Got some great help from shaun, he machined one out of brass so I could pour resin copies.

A very neatly and clean build your working up blockhaus,very well executed too! In keeping with your theme of Armoured Trains and scratchbuilding here is one I was commissioned to do by some railway guys a few years back.

Blockhaus and SAS, both impressive pieces of scratch building. I don't know if I would have the patience to do those rivets... (hmm, but then indy links can be tedious aswel).

SAS, is your's based on an actual railcar or is it free build.. I'm intruiged by the spaced armour on the turrets, would that not have fouled tunnels? also the long barrels, I thought they would only use the short barrel for these (tunnels and bridges again ) Not to put the model down, I really like the 'battle cruiser' look of it.



Cheers
Henk

Not very aerodymanic is it? :-) If it looks half as good as your cork buildings, I can't wait to see this one completed. Nice work. "Q"

Very nice!!!

Do you also have a pic of what it's going to look like when it's done?

Respect for all of you who can build things like this themselves.....amazing how some of you do this!

Greetings,
Martin
