Pretty good! Some of the better looking tankers I’ve seen. I’ve always wanted to build tankers myself, and even tried a couple times, but I have always been frustrated by the fact that LEGO never produced cylindrical parts with the correct diameter to make them realistic looking.

How about the following cylindrical design, using parts with a reasonable diameter:

This type uses pairs of:
part #45410 - Slope, Curved 8 x 6 x 2 Inverted Double
part #45411 - Slope, Curved 8 x 6 x 2 Double

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Thanks for the suggestion. One thing I try to do though is build trains that can be reproduced. The parts you suggested might work out, but unfortunately the inverted part seems to be very limited and the none inverted one can only be purchased in white in large quantity. I like to stick with parts that are more readily available. Of course if I just wanted to build one for myself this wouldn’t be the case. Thanks again! Mark
