Hi Jonathan,
I don’t think the back is too high at all. And I think the curve looks
awesome. You’ve really captured the shape of the rear perfectly. Overall this
looks excellent.
|
Thanks. Good to hear. And, thanks again for the killer cab.
| |
I especially love the greebles on it. They really look garbage-y. Great work
doing the cab in dark green too. Confined space use of rareish colours can be
a real pain.
|
It was important for me to do it in dark green. I am going to work on another
style cab in dark green as well.
| |
Now for some pedantry ;) It would be really nice if you could fit some
mirrors on it. My suggestion would be to replace the snotted 1xN dark green
plate(s) just under the cab by 1x1 plates with clip horizontal (6019) and
from that clip dark bley or black lightsabers with a couple of clip tiles
attached and rotated to suit. It would also have the benefit of distracting
from the neccessary (but slightly unsightly) edge to the panels for the
windscreen.
|
I have until now avoided mirrors. My overall thought is they come out to big
and detract from the model. But, that said, I have never really tried to
incorporate them into a model. I will try it this evening.
Indeed. It will be 1/2 a driver tho’ (maybe I shoudln’t admit that) :o)
| |
PS. And excellent work on the Post Office.
|
Thanks!
Best,
Jonathan

I find that they just have that extra and subtle little bit of realism. Of course it's personal taste so YMMV. (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
