Modelik T448P Diesel Locomotive by vulcanbomber - 1:25 scale - CARD

[vulcanbomber]

I have received my card model of the 1/25 scale T448P diesel loco. It is published by Modelik, a polish model company who seem to produce excellent card models (if this one is anything to go by) of a wide variety of subjects.

 

I blame Dan Vadas for my purchase of this model, after seeing the fantastic build of his 2-6-6-4 'Bulgar' Steam Loco, (yes Danny, this is all your fault!!!)

 

I have made card models before, mostly free card models found on line like the Mark Twain paddle boat created by Disney (I had a log of the build of it on MSW1, but sadly I couldn't resurrect it when MSW1 was lost. 

 

I only hope that I can make a half decent model of the T448P loco with the skills I have, and tips and hints learned from Danny's card model build logs.

 

Here are pics of the 'kit'. I also have the laser cut frames and wheel. The details are simply amazing! When built it will be approx 543mm long.

 

It will be a while before I can make a start, but I am looking forward to it.

 

Laser cut frames & wheels.

Modelik is one of those publishers who publish the work of many out-of-house designers. If you like this model and decide to do additional RR models, the key will be to look for the designer's name on the issue in addition to the publisher.

Thanks for the tip Chris.

 

I'm looking forward to starting it, watching Danny's 'Bulgar' come to life is so inspiring. It's amazing to think so detailed a model can be created with paper and card.
