2A-Rail Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi all, decided to have a go at OO9 after a few failed attempts. To start out I wanted to do something that comes across as big and bulky, so I started out with the Kato 11-103 chassis. With some time, I've designed a loco that meets my needs well and should be good for testing clearences on the layout (should one ever be built) Had a few hours playing about in Google Sketchup and came up with this. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but it suits me. Sent off for a test print so I shall report on it when it's delivered. Will detail it when it gets here, hopefully sooner rather than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I like it! Is it anything real or a flight of fancy? One thing to be aware of is that sketchup's default setting for number of sides to approximate a circle is only 12, which can leave to round sections (such as your boiler, dome and cab roof) looking faceted instead of smooth. You can smooth these later will filler and abrasives, but it's making work for yourself. You can change the number of sides in circles and arcs in box at the bottom right after you have selected the tool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
