NZ120 DC class - Kiwi Rail Paint Job

A quick post to show off a 3d Print of the DC Class, this time around i've painted it in the Kiwirail Livery. Still to finish the handrails etc. The short hood needs to have a black patch for the anti glare on top. The kiwirail logos for the front & cab numbers for the sides will need printing as a decal. Also trackgang "air horns"

And a video..

Building a country station (Left Loop)

Since I have not yet acquired a 3d printer, but still needing a station I decided to kit bash a metcalfe n scale country station card kit.

The station platform was built using plywood & card.

Veranda built using card & n scale track. Painted with primer.

Then a paper texture was glued on top of the platform with "pva" glue

TT scale figures added with some natural lighting giving an overall nice effect.

This section has a paper place holder for the road, some thought & research into the loaded bay required in order to give a more natural look.

The Standard railcar posing. The track will need to be replaced with streamlined track, and a slight realignment will hopefully ease the curve immediately south of this picture, and line up to the platform closer.

Overall view.

Model Updates - NZ120 F class, NZ120 H class (Fell) & NZ120 Ab Class

Both the NZ120 F & H class have been updated with smoother curves to hopefully produce a better result. Both models are now uploaded to shapeways & replace their previous versions.
