First Great Western Class 43

[N96HBK]

Hi all,

I wanted to design my own simple model, so I chose the Class 43 train because the design wasn't too difficult. I drew the basic shapes on paper, scanned them and drew them on inkscape. After an hour of work, the front section was finished. The rest of the power car is easy to design. I have so many builds in my line, so I need someone to test the finished results when it's done.

Here are some photos.

Thanks! I always rode on these trains on the way to London and back to Bristol. I always loved the sound of the engine when it drives at full speed.

The model is finished, I decided to test it myself because it won't take too long. After the test it'll be up in the downloads corner.

Finished the body. The final model is going to be about 1/76.
