Well, the new IRTC round is Oppisites. I've decided to do a railway-themed
entry. I started modeling today and have made I think a good amount of
progress for a single afternoon. This is also the first bit of serious
POVing in a bit over a year. I've gotten a quite solid model of US railway
track (notice the fine details, such as the spikes and joints between
sections. I've also gotten a decent start on one of the locomotives for
the scene, a circa 1941 Alco RS-1. I've put three of them in the scene to
fill it in a bit, since there is no real scene at the moment, just a
plane. Texturing for the most part is pretty basic right now, but I love
the rust-over-black paint I cooked up for the railings on the engine. Any
comments most welcome!
Here's an image of the real thing:
