Very nice build

 

[Gareth]

This is going to an esquisit model when finished. But be warned from past expierience watch the roof profile its easy to get it wrong . Also which drawings are you using some drawing not to accurate. (Old proverb if it looks right it is right) I have built many scratchbuilt diesels in G scale and oo/4mm mainly pilot scheme locos and I have fallen in many holes along the way. One last point diesels are far more harder to build than steam locos they are far more complicated so Keep up the good work

Thats looking ace. Love it.

 

[Neil Robinson]

That really looks the part, I admire your modelling skills.
I see you've left those compound curves where the roof meets the headcode box till last. Derby works found that a challenge too. I recall visiting Derby works open days when they were in production, there was often a demonstration of the resin and fibreglass layup techniques used.

Looking brilliant are you fitting smoke unit as well and the roof in my eyes spot on! How do you intend doing the grills .

 

[vasim]

The roof filter grilles could be simulated by . That seems to work in all scales.
The side grilles maybe could be represented by .

This project has gone way past the 'excellent' and into the realms of 'Omigod, it's amazing'.
