Working on a Q1 for the Steyning CD, but need some help from you Southern fans.
Can anyone help with tender details/pics? and what lettering is on the cab sides with the number.
Cheers......Reg[/img]

Very nice Reg

Think this might be of use:

I think the wheels could do with a few more sides - it is very noticeable with the Q1's design when you use low poly wheels.

Looking forward to the final version.

Regards,

Dan

Anyway tis nice to see more steam on the way.

Very Very nice,

Ive always thought they made good excursion trains aswell as freight, if i am correct it was one of the last locos to use the horsham-guildford line

If you look at that hornby link you will see how short the cab roof is. This was then joined to the tender by a rubber strip that keeps the cab as hot as hell! Apparently when an engineman finally found the draughtsman he asked why the roof was so short and the cab so hot, the guy replied "oh well I just got to the edge of my piece of paper"!!

Anyway, lovely model! Will you be doing any of the motion?

Hi Reg
Very nice...I hope you'll upload it to the library as well.

I'm not a big steam fan...but strangely they have an appeal for me.
Cheers

Will it have internal motion?

I seem to recal there being a Q1, I have a CD with one on somewhere.

That does however look rather nice if I dont say so myslef, well done! Cought the character very nicely indeed!

Nice model but I agree that the wheels and perhaps the front boiler section need more polys to smooth them out.

Kim Durose modelled the Q1 some time ago; it's available as a free download from the Blue Arrow site.

For more information on the prototype try:

That'll be Kim Durose's old model

Hi
Yes...thats the one.
I have to say I was a little disappointed it was remodelled on the BATs Southern DVD.
Cheers
