Great progress Prabal.

Thank you so much sir!
I'd love it if you build the locomotive as well
South Africa will have a 1:50 indian railway diesel as well Xp

Updates!
I was able to Cut and attach the handrails on the locomotive (pretty time taking job)... Most of it is done, only the horns and some teensy little hooks remain...

Hi model looks nice
Just a suggestion those black colour steel bars front and side back side you have pasted it outside which is visible & making the good model dull instead you make a hole or slot like structure in flat surface insert it that will enhance the look & details. I hope you understood what I'm coming to say else ping me will help you out .

Ma'am,

It took me 6 months to collect resources on this locomotive, resources including official Indian Railway drawings, dimensions and works photographs. I even went to a locomotive shed to inspect the actual locomotive. It then took me another 6 months to design every part of this locomotive on a CAD software, then unfold it, and finally texture it in two seperate graphic editing softwares.

Further, I have been building papermodels since I was 6, I am 20 now. These 14 years, I've built countless models, killing few printers in the process, I've built everything from Edwin's Airbus A380 to the PaperTrade F-7A.

Please limit this "free" advice of yours to youself. The only contribution of yours to this thread are the countless baseless advices, and also, asking me to 'sponsor' my several hundreds of hours of hardwork to you for free.

And if I were to start commenting my "suggestions" on your models, the first would be that they don't look anything like the real models. You call that MKT locomotive a SD-40? And who puts a Diesel soundtrack on a WCM-2? Your WAP-5 Dosent even full "Bhartiya Rail" written on it. And you dare question my models.

Ma'am, it's very easy to comment, but very hard to appreciate someone's hard work. I refrain from making such rage filled comments, but when someone questions my research, passion and hardwork, I've got no other choice.

This is an insult to me and my models.

And as for the Handrailings, I've attached a few pictures of the WDM3D, so that you can look for yourself, how the handrails on the actual locomotive are.

Praba, Don't take it wrong way. Your model is excellent awesome no words to explain. I didn't insulted you in anyway. Yourself don't think like that. The first one who encouraged you in this thread is myself and proud of you putting so much of efforts...I told you just an improvement if you don't like you can ignore or you explain the way you did it. Everyone are here to support and help. Many congratulations on your completion of your model.

@ Kevin WS

Thank you so much sir! The locomotive is 99.9% complete! Just have to do the horns!

@ Priya

Please look at the pics of the actual locomotive before making suggestions. I have done my research well.

[prabal276]

Hi people,

I'm back again with some updates! The locomotive is finally a 100% complete! I've done the Horns and Maintainance hoisting hooks as well!

I'm thinking I'll get an Acrylic case laser-cut for the locomotive, to keep it safe and neat ...
