hey ckyuk, thanks for the link to the script man. i am terrible at lights, and rendering for that matter...but GI_Joe made my renders look a lot better.
great progress on the model.
the idea about the bridge and the sea sounds very intersting.

How did you make the model when you originally made it? I have to imagine you used reference pictures, a toy model, drawings or something.

I'll need it because i haven't got a clue where i'll start when it comes to texturing and the files will probably cripple my computer, but let's get the modelling finished first.

Spent this afternoon attempting to get some half decent lighting set up before i start texturing anything. This is it so far.

Yeah, it's a bit on the dark side. How about putting a simple directional light on it?

All these trains are making me want to model one. user added image
