A cobbled mix of a few different references I found. Not a lot of experience building vehicles, but this was a fun one.
What. A. Chore. I couldn’t begin to tell you why proportioning this engine has been such a bane, but between the boiler, the tanks, the cab, the bunker, the wheels…. No combination of sizes or shapes I tried worked. This result here… is the least offensive of my attempts and the last of my patience. At quick glance I think it at least communicates (auto tank). But I want to focus on a new build and need to move on. So here’s my first overhaul of the new year rail ready.
At least the parts encompassing the track are done-ish. Now it’s all detail work and touch ups. Need something for that back area but idk what….
I’ve agonized over this stupid engine. And I wouldn’t be as intent on accuracy if the original MOC hadn’t been my oldest build.
I’ve attempted as much detail as I can without compromising structure or coming across too garish. This compromise meant abandoning loose coal to hide the techniques and shifting the ’tanks’ all over the body to accommodate wiring and an attempt at representing internal running gear.
The sanding gear, bunker steps, cab detail, and brakes were all labors of love to incorporate and I finally feel rest in my soul that this 1400 can no longer be called an inaccurate Jinty or green Thomas. Pieces have ALL arrived finally from blubrix and bricklink so I can now start on my ‘big’ new project. Happy to shelve this tank.

Powered by circuit cube with rods and medium wheels from BigBenBricks. I opted to use some of my older light grey pieces with the LBG ones to hopefully convey a bit of weathering on one side. It runs wicked smooth and I’m happy it can rejoin my fleet
Finally to a place where I’m happy with these. Particularly grateful that the cabs look at least some what intentional and smooth lol.

‘Clean’ photos for the Brick Train Awards. I don’t think there was much surprise that I’d want to enter it lol.
Mecha Monday: MPD Type 07-III Special vehicle Patrol Nacchin
First time ever building a mech, the last couple of photos are the some of the reference images I used to replicate the model kit. I have recently been enjoying watching multiple gundam shows, which lead me onto the gunpla model kits. Picked up a couple of kits are to finding reviews on @zakuaurelius YouTube channel. One of the kits that was reviewed was the Nacchin tank. The design caught my eye so I figured let’s have a go!
I used the gunpla kits I picked up last year as reference for articulation ideas while rewatching the YouTube review aswell and I’m super stoked with the result. Even managed to articulate it in such a way that it can balance on one cheese slope foot!

Still needs some proportion changes, but ultimately I think its turned Out alright for a spare part build

Tanks lowered, splashers added, running board extended, cab detailed, trimline added. I’m fine with calling this done :)
I appreciate all the feedback! Lengthening the wheelbase felt more in line with what I was shooting for. The longer tanks allowed a more gradual taper in the boiler like I wanted as well.

Wanted to show how I settled on my buffer beam design, and a few other fiddlely accents I’ve been messing with while I wait for tender parts

If I’m going to keep rebuilding this thing, I may as well try to do some things differently. I’m hyper fixated on chassis detail and boiler proportions. Trying to use different snot techniques to create ‘lip’ for the smoke box and fire box to show the separated sections. I’ve also tried to utilize some different techniques in the cab to accommodate opening firebox doors and allow movement in the levers and valves.
Idk if I’ll ever be happy with this MOC, but until another engine captures my desire like this auto tank or the terrier before it, I’m just going to keep fiddling I guess lol
