Hi Dirk!
Thanks for sharing the pictures and some info on the prototype here and at
1000steine.de!
To be honest, I do not like this creation of yours that much as I did with past
designs....
That is basically because of the lots of 'gaps' between the bricks in the face
end areas. I myself find these gaps quite disturbing, when I look at a
model. But I know it is really hard to model the complicated shape of the
'Ludmilla' in a more common way, that avoids these gaps.
As thumbnail picture the engine really looks like the prototype, but at the
near shots - especially of the front - it looks too much like a puzzle in my
eyes.
But I really love some of the details you invented with this engine. The
possibly nicest detail is the H-shaped beam of the frame (the grey line under
the red body). That is really well done (and probably works only with big
scale like 10 wide)! Same with the details on top of the engine: lots of nifty
details there....
Hope you are not too disappointed to hear a feedback which is no 100% praise
this time...
Leg Godt!
