 | | WWII German Train (LONG) —Shaun Sullivan
|
| | | Hi all, I finally completed my rendition of a German train from WWII. All told, it's over 12.5 feet long (over 3.8 meters - I believe this makes the double entendre in the subject heading perfectly valid :D), and comprises 11 cars: BR52 Steam (...)

See James Mathis's pages for some possible guards vans... the cupola tended to be a little (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.trains)

I'd be interested in making it more accurate, though I couldn't track down James' site just now ... I found a post mentioning that he (...)

I was planning on doing an outstanding Star Wars model, and then I saw Gareth Bowler's B-Wing. I can't improve on perfection. (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.trains)

| | | | | (...) said this before)--do you have any plans to put a shield on that gun? I also wonder if the engine doesn't need a meatier cowcatcher. But man! is that nice.
