Still detailing away.

Heres a wire of the front...

Coming along really nicely - do you have any idea of what scene you are going to be putting it into?

That is Awesome! Nice and Clean. And it still has great detail. Wish I could model like that.

Thanks for the comments...

I'm still not sure on the final scene that this will go into. I've thought of a few and rejected them. Feel free to offer some suggestions if you like.

Great work. Where were you able to get your visual references from?

Thanks, visual reference came from an old model railroading magazine I found. Theres only a few photos which were taken prior to 1953 as after that time these things were scrapped. I guess my interest was sparked as we still have trams that look like this, though longer, in Australia.

Cheers...

Heres an update. All outer walls, facias and trimming completed. Next will be the front lights and the pantograph on the roof if thats the correct terminology for it.


Cheers...

I love it!. Once textured, that's going to look the business.

Yep, I've got to agree- the model looks stunning right now. Will the interiors get modelled too?

This looks fantasic. It will like great textured.

Thanks for the comments guys. Still a while away from texturing but looking forward to that part.

Started on the front lights. Just a couple more to go.
Thought I'd do a different type of wire.



Cheers...


Oh yeah I forgot. The interior will be done as well...

All the lights done now...

It gets better and better :D

Does LW start lagging up with all these polys? Mine does after 100,00 polys even though everything is brand new...

This is great, Getting better every post, Great detail. Looking forward to the interior.:attn:

Yes it does. When I got ver 7.5 it was a real issue. Though it has gotten better marginly, a lot of polys 200,000 upwards stresses my system as well. Gets worse when you add textures. Looking forward to Ver 9, it may change and get better. Ver 8.5 is certainly better than 7.5. Mind you I'm overdue for an upgrade. Definately getting 4 gig of ram next time, or more.


JasC33 - Thanks...
