Bedwyr builds an armoured train (right, big surprise, tell me something new)

[former user]

next one

here comes the Zaamuretz rail cruiser


gosh, that's a huge thing, even though I reduced the length compared to the original...
obviously, had to be mounted on bogies, to be able to take the curve
gun turrets as before, the gun casemattes out of Q-tip boxes (reinforced).
still struggling with the MG positions...

the front and rear sections were a little problematic.
I don't like the many "catchy corners" of the original, and the design seemed a little "boxy", so I decided to "improve" the design a bit
allthough out of the hexagon system, it gave me a bit of a headache. the original fastening clips would leave too much space between the edges, so I glued them together with reinforcements.
the remaing clips will be filed down a little

You are surely missing something

There's something about those platformer bits... But I like where this is going.

Sorry to not having reported progress for some time
there is a chance I might not manage to fulfill the deadline since there is another deadline that is devouring me at the moment

some new changes for a piece of writing I have to submit quite soon - which is more important than hobby...

but there is no question the piece will be finished, since it is some kind of commission

[Blackwolf]

Looking good former user, I look forward to the finished train.....you have a knack with vehicles

[former user]

thx  - Yes, I am mad 

[former user]

not into paddle steamers, but armoured trains I think I can serve with 

[former user]

allright

sorry to say, but I'm definetely out for this contest
This does not mean I quit the project, on the contrary - so I will keep posting progress when I'm continuing in January, so keep pushing me   

[Bako]

Push you in front of a train?

[former user]

if it helps finishing the project 
I think these details of a Loco I wouldn't forget for the rest of my life, be it 5 seconds or 50 years...
