thanks swankyMonkey, it's getting kinder difficult at the moment as I only have back and side view references.I am working on all the linkages and various parts under the train and the only breakdown I could find of how it all works and fits together is from a web site of a guy that built a quarter scale replica for real ..lol
So I have about 60 pics of the parts he made and I am trying to relate those parts to various photos and my image planes to fit it all together, it's little tedious but I am getting there slowly.

Just found this thread! Good work.


All great projects succeed one step at a time. One lone step firmly placed.

Thanks t3 and Billy.
Those perticular renders were done with Maya's vector renderer, you have to harden all the normals to get the edges to show and if you look carefully not all of them are visable, with a little tweaking you could solve this but as a wip post I didn't really bother, it's a nice effect though.

I would love to see you do some post work on one of those images. To give it the 1800's, black and white, nostalgic look and feel.
