Thanks for the kind comments!
i do have a slight advantage- I work for ‘Industrial Light & Magic’ (we do the visual effects on Star Wars) and I was actually in charge of the train sequence, so I have access to more reference than most!)
This model will be going on display in the ILM London office, I’m just working on the finishing touch- adding leds into the cab and track, and linking them to an arduino board to flash them randomly to simulate the track sparks ;)
I also have another large Star Wars MOC, the cargo shuttle from Rogue One, I’ll post thread for that in the next day or two...
