Anyhoo looks great apart from the sandpots look a bit thin but that might just be the angle.

Well spotted with the sandpots! Slightly small in diameter and much too tall. Altered them last night :-

Thanks, Jonaton.

Before anyone points out, I do realise that the smokebox door hinge assembly thingy is wrong. It's from another loco, and I just added it to the smokebox door to give a more "complete" look for the picture.

Sorry to bother you again but one more thing is that the loco currently has differnt chimneys on to the ones it was built with. They have more of a flared to them than the orignal stovepipe's.

you mean, no longer square, but green (Well I hope it stays green anyhow ;))

Kevin, your model is looking even better, personally can't wait for the first texture shots, but I'm prepared to wait ;)

It will be no problem to alter the chimneys.

Very nice Kevin. If you aren't worried about adding a few extra poly's to the model, would it be a pain to change the square chopper couplings to the round ones? They look a little better in my opinion :p.

I would have liked the square to stay square. If the white wheel rims are voted in, I wonder how long they will stay white...?

Cheers
