A few more shots, this time the loco seems to be in topcoat but without lettering and some pipework!

Famous last words...

Great little loco

Some more shots of loco and boiler-cylinders. More small detailing still to be done and then re-texturing.
The poly count is still below 5000 and much of that can be drastically reduced with some good LOD management.

And another one, as I take a break from the paintbrush.
One of the objectives in mind when first designing the loco was to make it easy for others to repaint. This, I hope, I have achieved!

The companyâ€™s skills increase slowly but surly!
We have now been able to master animation in a loco model and the shot below shows a battery loco under construction for an, as yet, unspecified railway.
Bodgit & Scarper are quite pleased with this model and may even upload the finished product if there is sufficient interest.

WOW!
Praise indeed, coming from the master himself.
Thank you very much Kevin.

Nifty. Much better than my attempt at a battery!

Inspite of the surliness of the crew at Bodgit & Scarper the quality of their output is surely getting better all the time and the latest item has recieved praise from a highly respected competitor company. There can surely be no higher praise than that of one's peers.

Mmm nice little battery loco, if you want it tested over 25 miles of rather steep Welsh Narrow Gauge, drop me a PM!

...

Looks great Andrew, any more shots of it?

Chris

Some more shots as requested!
Work is progressing slowly on the odds and sods, with the brake gear and controls now complete there is now just some general clutter (mining tools, etc.) to add.
I also need to get my head around bounding boxes and eng filesâ€¦â€¦BRYAN???????????????
