EUROPEAN TRAM

Valters Orlovskis
Some new progress pictures. This is the most complicated kit I ever built and first time when I use weathering. It takes a lot of time to learn and do all this, sometime I repaint and try again but at last main parts are finished. Now it's time to put all them together.

😎 Nice topic! I'm in. 👍
If you need some ideas, have a look here: panzer-modell.de/ref..straba641/straba.htm

Hi Frank, is it the same tram model?

Frank Krause
Close, very close, Rui. Nobody found the same original tram on the net as MiniArt did it here.
After 38001 MiniArt did another one (38003), which is from the outside an exact copy of 641. Inside the lamps and holding straps are different, but can be found in other trams of the same museum.

Thx for the comments Frank 🙂

Valters Orlovskis
Thanks, Frank!
Yes, I've found that link too but unfortunately too late, all painting was done at that time. The main mistake which I notice are some black (metallic) parts on chassis which should be wooden. But I'm very tired from this kit so I leave all as it.

Valters Orlovskis
Thanks, Rui, I will finish it! 🙂

Some progress pictures. I make that support construction because base appears to be slightly arched but I hope roof will keep it in straight position.

Frank Krause
Wonderful, Valters! 👍 Absolutely convincing details. 👍

Some new pictures, the last „easy taking" interior views. A few minor touches with brush and after that I'll start to fix roof in place.

A few new pictures of progress. Electrical poles appears to be too high, I cut off about 2cm to adjust them.
