Nice work, but I have to say, Tim, that these kinds of shrouded cars
scream to be built in 8 wide.
|
But then I’d lose the fun of squeezing the shrouds in as much as possible.
| |
Check out GMLTCer Steve Demlow’s 8 wide version:
|
I’ve admired that one before. I love the window arches and rivets on it.
Didn’t realise it was the same model (or similar anyway... the faces are
slightly different)
|
Check out
this linkie Ours is the first North American version of the FLEXITY Swift.
|
And I’ll raise you with
this. You can see the two face designs there (maybe three).

Don’t be constrained by self-constraint;-)

While I do love building small and trying to squeeze as much detail into a
small space it’s not entirely self-constraint. Often I design things with
the idea of possibly using them in a future diorama. Given my lack of space
and brick going 8-wide would make it impossible for me to fit in all the
life I would like to.
This 80x80 diorama
would only have just over half the space if I was basing it around
eight-wide scale.
|
Hmmm. I don’t really equate scale with width so much. The scale to me is
determined by the figs themselves. So 8 wide is the same scale as 6 wide
(and since the figs are “fat”, shouldn’t everything else as well be? :-)
JOHN

I “scale” stuff only insofar as things look OK together. In the case of 8-wide
it’s more the length I’m worried about (I’ve actually selectively compressed
this tram by stripping a door and some windows from each car). I tend to use
minifig height as an approximate guideline but really it’s more a matter of
wverything working together for me.
