Indian Railways WAP-5 Class (ABB-Adtranz design):
(Click for gallery, post mod)

Sloppy job on the red stripes. Cut the stripe stickers that go around the slope
bricks freehand. I also should have raised the top one by one plate more, but
hey, you all know I’m lazy. This has actually been sitting around for months
(some of you know that too), I only had the inclination to take photos today.
Still, the panto design is new (from what I’m aware of) and I thought the top in
general turned out nice. Notice the lack of muck on it as well. There’s also a
concealed switch for the battery box, which powers the lights in the front and
at the back. See if you can find it. MOCPage will be up ASAP, after the BS
gallery is moderated. Stay tuned.

Looks like you did a good job matching the prototype. In pic 42, it looks like
the tubing could have been a little shorter to pull the details closer to the
roof. I like the use of car roof pieces for the windows. Is it my imagination or
do the side vents stick out a little? That could have added a little more
detail. I haven’t seen that panto design before, looks good. Everyone is using
minifig arms for something neat these days, it’s cool.
Good work, thanks for sharing.

Not exactly following you here... do you mean that they should have been shorter
or do you mean they should have been clustered more closely together? If it was
the former, well, I don’t like modding ABS, although now in retrospect I realise
I could have reliefed it into the top. If it was the latter, then actually there
weren’t that many good shots of the roof available to me, so I worked with what
I had.

I actually delibrately went for a smooth look. They did start out that way yes,
but I liked the smoothness of it.
