The build is 7 studs wide. Switch Engine UW [front/left] by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr Switch Engine UW [back] by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr Switch Engine UW by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr Switch Engine UW It is used by the fictional company UW. As you can see my sticker skills are far from perfect. Thanks for reading, Comments, constructive criticism and likes are always appreciated. Erwin by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr Quote
eurotrash Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 It's got some good looking proportions and I like the fact that it's a 7-wide. I think the SNOT grille half-brick offset on the right hand side is a nice detail. Quote
UrbanErwin Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Nicely done on the cab windows. Thank you It's got some good looking proportions and I like the fact that it's a 7-wide. I think the SNOT grille half-brick offset on the right hand side is a nice detail. Thanks, 7-wide is in my opinion a great scale to work with, a little more room for detail, but still compatible with sets. Quote
Dan-147 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I personally try to avoid STAMPS (STickers Across Many PieceS) in my MOCs as it makes sticker application easier and neater. The UW logo beneath the cab window could fit on a 1 x 4 brick which could be centered by changing some of the bricks for plates (or just changing the build sequence beneath the window). A rather minor quibble.... Dan-147 Quote
jtlan Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) My Magic: The Gathering background left me unable to read the thread as anything other than "Switch Engine Blue-White". That said, it's a charming little engine with wonderful proportions. There's some excellent SNOT work going on here, with the grills and other details adding interest without making the engine too busy-looking. Edited January 4, 2015 by jtlan Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I like this little diesel engine, It is typical of the many industrial engines out there. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Looks really great! I love the extreme compact design full of excellent details like the snotted window and that incredible door! I like also the yellow used for the very front part Quote

Dan-147 Thanks for the advice, I will keep this in mind the next time My Magic: The Gathering background left me unable to read the thread as anything other than "Switch Engine Blue-White".

Thank you for the compliments I like this little diesel engine, It is typical of the many industrial engines out there. Thanks Looks really great!

I like also the yellow used for the very front part Thanks, you are the first to notice the door. Quote
