Excellent as always, I can’t wait to see how the static model will turn out. I’m currently modeling a steam locomotive that i plan to print and build. It’s a scaled down model of a 1:12 live steam locomotive
You can't compare a working model to a static model. The compromises are just a necessary fact unfortunately. But I think you hide them damn well on the working one! This static one however is just going to be your wet dream! Keep going, your work is stunning.
Riekus, that is gonna look fantastic. To be very honest, if you never pointed these things out, I would be ignorant about it. You do make me wonder though, those scale flanged wheels - if there were a model using them that ran, no doubt they would need fine-scale track or something?
Nah, there is no way you can run a scale flange. They are 1mm and because we have tighter radii than in real life, we have a lot riding on the flange. It will just push over. Minimum we can run is 2mm.

Thanx boet. I might have a plan!

lima's G motor models are underrated
