Px 29 Modelik 1/25

Never would have guessed how small that assembly in the second image is, without the coin.
Fine fine work.

Thanks, Michael The scale, at 1/25, is large but this is a narrow track train and the parts end up being quite small...
If you remember the Bn2t complete train, the lack of tracks in the kit is not a problem. Copying from another Modelik kit and changing the name of the model did the trick. You know that I like to leave my models as “paper” as possible and accept the drawbacks of that approach.

The last construction pictures show diverse details like handrails. Being red, they mark a welcome contrast to the overall mat green.

I don't think the publisher of this kit could have asked for a better rendition.
They should use your images on the cover.

Thanks, Mike. Well, yes, my very basic assembly methods give a good hint of the model you can get without resorting to special techniques. Apart from painted edges, paper rivets and rolled paper pipes, what you see is in the kit.

Definitely, this model is very much to my taste. The overall lines are clean and purposeful and, in this case, small is beautiful. Any Modelik train is time consuming to assemble and the 2374 added rivets did not help, in this respect. Despite the relatively sketchy assembly drawings, I experienced no problems worth mentioning.
