I cut paper to pieces and paste them together.

I'm making scale models out of (mostly) paper and post (mostly) daily pics.

I started working on additional details for the cab exterior. Here are the sirens and blue & orange lights that will be mounted on the top of the cab.

@isol thank you!☺️

1) it depends on the post and the day, but I usually do see some likes, so maybe it's just some mastodon weirdness?

2) my tools are fairly boring: a couple of art knives, a ruler, some tweezers and pliers and that's about it. I'll take a picture someday when I clean up the mess 😅

3) the squares on my mat are 1x1 cm (roughly 0.4x0.4 inch), that should give an idea of the size 📐

@erikcats @kalos thanks for the note! Sadly, I don't have any special powers here, I'm just buying way too many printed templates from a couple of stores.

@Printdevil I'm glad nothing burned down. Yeah, I did the same and made a small cover for the glass part.

Finally attached the cab to the chassis. The joints move freely and the cab can be lifted to open access to the engine.

Bad things happen when you have a lamp with a magnifying glass and you're not careful about sunshine. Fortunately, nothing caught fire and the hole is close to the side of the mat, so I don't need to shop for a new one.

Finally glued the floor to the cab. Now the cab is fully closed save for the roof shaft. I could close this as well, but i decided to keep it open until the end in case I need to fix something inside.

It turned out that with the back seat on, I can't insert the floor into the cab. I had to remove the seat and glue it to the interior of the cab first. Now, fitting the floor should be a lot easier.

The cab floor with the rear seat removed. It got a bit fluffy, but most of the fluffiness will be hidden by the seat anyway.The cab with the back seat cushion inserted.A view of the inside of the cab with the back seat inserted.

Built the driver and passenger seats. For some weird reason I didn't take a photo from the other side 😞

The locomotive together with the trailer. Now that the model is completed, I'll be back to the Tarta build from next week on.

I built the trailer for the locomotive. Will post a couple of pictures of the two together on Friday.

I completed the cab and added all the remaining details to the locomotive, which is now complete. Next up will be the trailer.

A side/rear view of the locomotive from a low angle. I hoped that the interior of the cab will be visible, but it's too dark in there.A view of the front of the locomotive with all the new details on the tank + the cowcatcher.A rear view of the locomotive from a higher angle.

Made more progress on the locomotive: built the tank and started building the cab. So far, everything fits, no glue was required, and it's an interesting change from the detailed paper work.

I started building the cab - here are the side walls and a frame to keep the shape of the roof.A detailed view of the front side of the tank. The plough and other details are still missing.The platform of the cab. All the controls are just "pained" on the interior of the tank using laser. The cab even includes two small chairs.A view of the side of the cab, including the pistons and the transmission.
