  And we all envy what you have achieved with your modelling . In fact this whole forum is built on envy !

Hauk ,

   Wonderfully modelling ( I think of it more as engineering ) and the paintwork is just right . You should be very pleased with what you have built ,

Thanks for the praise, but I really have to disagree with the claim that this form is built on envy.

In my opinion, this forum is built on the love and respect of craftsmanship and the joy of sharing.

PS: OK, I have to admit that  I  envy John´s painting skills just a little bit. That WWI tank...

Stunning!!   ;D  To me the paint and weathering looks perfect for a well maintained working locomotive. Nothing over the top - just absolutly, spot on perfect!
I can't wait to see your next project.

Hauk, I'm a bit late in adding my congratulations to lovely looking outcome to this build.....most of the time I have just been stunned with what you achieved during this build, the pantograph being one of my favourite bits.

It has been great lesson on what can be achieved using new techniques & materials when you are brave enough and persistent as you have been in looking always to achieve the highest quality and not accepting anything less.

So what is next?

That came out beautifully! So crisp and cleanly made. The weathering is fine, it helps hi-light the excellent construction. Great job!

Hauk,

Great article in the Narrow Gauge & Industrial Review ...... both Interesting and informative, the construction of the pantograph remains a wonder to me ( and now I find out you made two of them!)

The last two photographs of the model are in the Mr Doan class
