Hi all,
Turkish style railroads - I just love the livery of the engine. Some
pictures of the real engine and
car.
BS gallery
MPD
Special thanks goes to Selçuk Göre for reminding me of Turkish trains and
helping me with finding information etc. plus helping me fix the train car
(v2 in the gallery). Techniques stolen from everyone.
Comments and crits appreciated,
Tim

Nice work (as usual) Tim. Whenever I get around to working in Ldraw, I’m
coming to you for settings, for they are KILLER:-)
One question on livery colors. It appears to me that regular LEGO green
and dark blue are closer to the proto colors. Anyone else think this?

Yes, I think so. But I stopped suggesting regular green to Tim, instead of
sand green, long ago. He just loves sand green to much..:-)
Cheers,
Selçuk

It’s true... I do love sand green ;) If I thought I could get away with it
I’d do the blue in sand blue too. But... you are probably right. Depending on
plate and tile availability in dark blue I’ll do up a version with green and
dark blue and add it to the BS gallery.

I’ve just looked at the pic again in more detail, and decided that sand green is
a more suitable choice, regular green would be too bright (maybe a plus for some
people since it will be more legoish).
I also remembered something. One of my friends, who builts aircraft models, told
me once that you cannot use exact same colors when painting a scaled down model,
since scaling down in dimensions creates an optical effect in which the same
colors percepted as darker than original. So it is a common practice to lighten
up the tones in general for the scale models.
I also agree that dark blue will be a better fit with sand green..In short:
sand green+dark blue : more realistic, green+blue : more legoish
At the end whichever you want, of course..:-)
Cheers,
Selçuk
PS: staging area is down, or you ppl just staged something hindering my access
to it?..:-)
