Re: 2 Engine steam plant
Impressive !! May I ask how long it took to build this model?
Re: 2 Engine steam plant
Took around 4 weeks from start to finish, being only partially mobile spend a lot of time on PC.
Re: 2 Engine steam plant
This is just awesome.
Pardon my ignorance; what is the JDW NZ collection?

Assembly method I generally use is to create sub-assemblies, in this case the two engines and the boiler first, then really work from the ground up.
I tend to leave angular and compound angled components to the last as these parts seem to take longer to check for interference and overlap problems.
