Hi Mark,
While you've captured a lot of the details of the Class 14 quite well I can't
help but feel that the model is let down by a few points. I really like your
grille designs, particularly the slight outsetting. Also the handles on the door
look really good. The use of technic for greebling underneath is excellent.
However, the stepped plate roof really looks out of place with all the tiles
everywhere else on the MOC. I'm curious why you didn't hinge tiles and use 1x1
slopes for the windscreens. I don't see any reason why this couldn't be done.
Likewise the funnel thing in front of (behind?) the cab is not terribly well
accurate. I'm also curious why you left off the handrails for the steps.
It's a good build but I think with a little more work it could be excellent.
Tim
