My version of a Tatra T-3 tram from Moscow. This one has gone through numerous iterations to finally get it to look satisfactory. Apologies for the one blue window but I figured it was a replacement after some vandals broke the original.

PS. Also featuring the tram tracks I mentioned yesterday.

More real bricks!! :o)

I do own some of them. Of course it was designed in CAD first ;)

   I just love the front and rear end. You’ve really gotten the rounded look in there quite nicely. Is there a reason for the compression in length? I am wondering how it would look with the doorways in 4 wide rather than two wide.

The compression is to stop it overhanging on curves too much but perhaps a little overdone. It’s for a planned diorama so I might see how it all fits together and adjust it then if neccessary.

I should note that the rear is actually wrong because I made it identical to the front whereas it’s slightly shorter on the real thing. I tried a more accurate version and it looked worse.

   Also, I was thinking this guy or maybe his 4 stud long sibling might be good for the roof. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=6091

I think they’d be too tall unfortunately. The grey is fairly flush.

   The nose just kicks it, though. Really good. Jonathan

Thanks.

Tim
