Nice, I have been considering the use of the new 1x3 curved slopes for the
tumblehome of coaches too but as usual I am far too slow!The difference with
my idea was that the whole side would slope in slightly towards the top, how
it would mate with the ends, I’m not sure.
|
The original version James sent me had a full curve sloping in at the bottom
and top. The prototype cars seemed to me to only curve in at the bottom and I
wanted to keep the window design as it was so I just did the bottom half.
|
Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I meant (either that or I am
misunderstanding you) My thinking was that the sides would be much the same as
you have them, but the whole panel would be slightly off the vertical, so the
coach is maybe half a stud wider at the waist than the roofline. The section
above the waist would still be flat, just not vertical.

I really like your window design,
|
The window design was James’ and was pretty much how the coach started. After
that I worked around getting them to fit (which involved dropping the roof
half a plate).
| |
I’m not so certain the doors look right but I can’t think of a better way. I
think I would have just represented the door windows and handles.
|
That was what I had right up until the very last minute when I changed it to
what you saw. Damn!
| |
Ironically
the choice of loco to do a proper round boiler on actually had a tapered
(partially conical) boiler !

Details, details ;)

PS I think you need to study GWR 3500 gallon tenders a bit ;)
|
Where were you in jlug chat when I needed you. I wanted to know the class
number so I could find more pics. Anyway, this one is a MAGIC tender and thus
doesn’t have to be perfectly prototypical... :P
|
Well in the film it a was a GWR Hall class (59xx) The tender would be a six
wheeler and would give opportunity to do some Martin Nilsson 1x1x2/3 slope work
on the sides. Wikipedia is your
friend ;)
