<snipped text description of motivation and model>
Shaun,
I really like how you used a standard train base plate for the foundation of
this steam locomotive model. I love how you disguised this base plate at
the piston/cylinders with the hinged panel; dropping it SNOT-wise at a
slight angle to both hide the train base plate and provide a visual
connection to the cylinders is brilliant. That hinge panel to the cylinder
seems to me a critical visual design element to break the otherwise flat
boundary formed by the train base plate.
I'm looking forward to seeing the instructions.
Have a good show this weekend!
later,
James Mathis
