Nice! I already smell the coal in the furnace.

It has not yet made many test kilometres; the black paint on the wheels 
is still pristine. ;-)

LOL, it has just come off the production line, spiksplinternieuw!
The factory is just behind the camera!

Cheers

Of course!

In a final stage, in would be interesting to work on the textures: soot, 
dirt, etc...

Thanks Bill.
It looks like Thomas wants to dirty my model!

Last week has been spent with the render, it's almost finished. Just the water
barrel and the pull bar.
The textures and lighting needs some more work, but there's light at the end of
the railway tunnel.

Cheers
Ton.

Finished!

I didn't put too much effort in the station. The windows, for example, are the
same as on my Titanic. It is also just a movie prop, just the facade, no
backside. The color scheme is based on the old train stations here in Auckland,
which looks nice.

Cheers
Ton.

I like the train, and also the station.
A nice image!

Excellent modelling work indeed! Two questions though:

- I miss shadows of the Rocket on the rails/ground;

- The barrel: I guess it is used as an extra water supply?

Thanks Thomas.

For lighting I use a HDR image, and light comes from all over the place, a bit
like an overcast sky, no real shadows. I didn't want to put in another light to
avoid over exposing.
The barrel is indeed a water-barrel, this being the first locomotive there were
no filling stations underway!

Cheers
Ton.
