v100 locomotive dark blue front

Yes I’m still building models, but I spend a lot of time with sorting parts, never ending projects and other stuff. But today is the day I want to share my lattest build a German V100 locomotive from the 70s or so, way back before I was born. I really like the shape and color combination of the original.

 

I used first dark red and light bluish grey for the model, but the grey contrast was to strong for my taste and I took parts from my childhood and worked with light grey which is much softer and a bit grimy and dirty what fits better for such an old diesel engine. For my second V100 I chose the colors dark blue und tan from the palette. Also a common color combination for this time of period of German trains.

 

The roof was also light bluish grey in the beginning, but it looks so cheap I was so hyped about the first leaks early this year about the Mando helmet which contains this two parts to make the roof in metallic silver color possible. I also got 1x4 tiles from a friend which will be soon release in the $25 James Bond car.

 

I’m not sure, than I will finished my next build, but be patient, I will be back for sure.
