   Wow. Now that is what I call “sub-til”;-) I must confess that I don’t see much difference, and gauging from the curvature of the Mk1 I would have to say that it is nominal at best and trying to account for it at such a small scale is futile. But that’s just me:-)

Now I see what’s wrong with you eight-widers. You try to make things look accurate instead of doing things that are fun. :P

Guilty as charged. Except that you’ve failed to account for the fun involved in rivet counting:-)

   Of course a square carriage would have been fine and looked just as accurate if not more so but adding that curve was too much of a challenge to pass up.

It was a fun and unique design exploration, and appreciated!
