franckcombe Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 My Friend Bill Martinsen build a Plymouth 2 1/2 tons at 1/13.7 scale. He has always the flair to find good model with a strong character. His model inspires me a lot. Bill Martinsen kindly send me datas and photos of the models. I choose to build it with my friend Jean-Pierre Duval two Plymouths (one for each) because we have complementary competencies and we find fun to build it in common. We decided to build them in 3D and 2d with CNC machine in order to gain time and eventually to share it with other modelers. Jean-Pierre Duval is a talentuous modeler in 3D / 2D, he has already built a lot of locos at various scales. This is the model from advertising This is the true model This is the version made by Jean-Pierre Duval For those who are interesting to do the plymouth, they can order the various parts on theses links http://www.sculpteo.com/en/design/grappe-attelages/TCxCQYFY?uuid=dbkzFQrSnWBwFrukJOguud#tab= http://www.sculpteo.com/en/design/grappe-accessoires/AFcqoJGz?uuid=G72l1JrM0WNzsXjzhs7Hbe#tab= http://www.sculpteo.com/en/design/grappe-capot-moteur-plymouth-78n2/fHdyHTFh?uuid=gnWV8gYEqMZsXXKU78Jcnh#tab= http://www.sculpteo.com/en/design/plymouth-t5-grappe-chassis-78n2/tjVQypvS?uuid=wptMgN8YL8QFzZPhkT3tZf#tab= Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
