Title: MY Donald OR Douglas Project!
Post by: Jock The New Engine on July 06, 2007, 08:29:09 AM
I'm thinking on making Donald or Douglas out of some old parts from my old trains!  I would like some advice on what to use as a base and for a 3D face!

I think I will go with the wooden railway face, thanks! ;D  But i'm still wondering what to use as a base though. :-\  Can anybody help me decide what to use as a base? ???  By the way, i'm sorry to say this but, i'm getting a Hornby Oliver as an early birthday present. :-[  I just needed an Oliver to go with S.C.Ruffy soooooo bad! :-[  Sorry Bachmann. :-[

I wouldn't worry to much about it, I have 10 models by Hornby and I'm not worried at all ;)


Good luck with Donald or Douglas :)

It's ok.  I have Oliver.  He looks wonderful with the ALSO WONDERFUL Bachmann engines.   ;D    A good Donald and Douglas face could be sculped from clay, but it would take time a dilijance.  (if thats how you spell it  :P )

I am guessing that maybe the size of the image could have been the problem. 

You can send me an email though and maybe I can help you with getting the picture set up, just show me what you did and I will help you and tell you what the problem is. ;)  My email is on my profile too, so you can email me from there. :)

Well I would go with the Hornby engine and either a wooden railway or take along face and scratch build their numbers and name tags.
Title: Re: MY Donald OR Douglas Project!
Post by: The Chaz Storm on July 27, 2007, 12:15:12 AM
I would personally prefer just finding a picture of their faces and name plates and numbers on the internet as it isn't really to stressful as trying to take out the faces off one of their take along, wooden, or Tomy models, and trying to build the nametags and numbers, when you can just cut and paste, it's so easy even a caveman can do it. :P
Title: Re: MY Donald OR Douglas Project!
Post by: Frog Pulling Team on July 27, 2007, 09:55:09 PM
LOL ya got that off of GIECO.  As for the name plates I found in a Model Railroader Magizine that you can buy paper to make decals and stick it on your trains try it.

Anyways that is a good idea too. :)

I'm sorry but, the Donald OR Douglas project has been cancelled. :'(  I don't have any money on me anymore, i'm broke. :-[  So for right now, it's cancelled. :'(  Unless anyone would want me to still do the project, just keep posting here. ;)

It's up to you bud, it isn't up to us.  If you are up for the project then that's fine, we don't want you to be under a lot of pressure. ;)
