Sérgio Posted July 25, 2020 Hello! My attempt to do an Old Electric Portuguese Locomotive. Motorized with Power Functions. Some parts do not exist in some colors, but I have no problem to paint if necessary The most tricky part was the windshield, However I'm not 100% with this solution, I'll try to improve it later.

Your building skills are unbelievable. This is a fantastic model - your creativity alone is beyond anything I can imagine. Congratulations - I would use paint too. Right away! All the best Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColletArrow Posted July 25, 2020 I agree with Thorsten - that's an awesome method to get those curved windows, and the detailing over the rest of the loco looks pretty spot on. And as always, I love your renderings and presentation of your digital models - it feels much better than existing in a white void! Good work all round!

lego9vtrainfan Posted July 25, 2020 Very nice work! As others have said, the building techniques for the windshield are great. I also like how you found the perfect piece for the headlights too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted July 25, 2020 Looks great, and I think you should be very satisfied with that window solution. I like your buffer design, too. Nice build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ts__ Posted July 25, 2020 Hello Sergio, the windshield looks Great. Also the whole locomotive. The color issues are difficult for this prototype, I think, without painting nearly impossible for your model. The pictures are a little bit too Photoshoped for me. I wait for the building solution for the lights. ;-) Question: the 2x2 halfround tile below the windshield: how do you attach this part at this position? I have also searched a solution for the same problem in my coaches, but I don't found one. I hope, you can build this machine with real bricks.

SteamSewnEmpire Posted July 26, 2020 This is really neat, although I feel like 8 or even 9w might have served you better. The prototype is really very fat looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with @Toastie you should be 150% with this design! I find a better solution, with less Gap and thinner middle section, now I'm 100% don´t mind the diferent colors, it is the same model, but diferent color scheme: 1 hour ago, SteamSewnEmpire said: This is really neat, although I feel like 8 or even 9w might have served you better. The prototype is really very fat looking. I'm a 7 wide guy, Iberic trains have a larger gauge than normal, so I try to keep that in mind, and if I build an 8 or 9wide model, it won´t fit with the rest of my trains :) The middle section of the windshield is 1 stud wide, that makes the ilusion of shorter windows, I change to 1plate, and now have the proportions mere like the real thing :) 14 hours ago, Ts__ said: Question: the 2x2 halfround tile below the windshield: how do you attach this part at this position?

Thomas I can't make this on Stud.io,or LDD but in real bricks I "fixed" the tile like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
