Hi all,

I've been lurking this forum for a long while now, but I had some spare time in the past few days so i tried drawing some graphics. Because it's a first try, I picked a quite simple Belgian train: the am96 (see: European Railway Server)

Here's the result.

What do you think?

You are hired :P, Yes I realy realy like it.
In fact: would you be intrested in working on the dutch trainset with us? I posted a not properly looking hondekop on the last page, wich we (hyronymus and I) couldnt get looking properly. If you don't like dutch trains/or us /other, no problem ofcourse, you will only be banned :P (just joking). What ever you do I would love to see more of your work.

(note to hyronymus friendly enough?) :wink:

Thanks!

I'm glad you like it! To Broodje & Hyronymus: sure i want to help on the dutch trainset (i've been following that topic too :wink: ). I'm going to take a look at that 'hondekop' right now...

In the meantime i started work on another belgian train, this time a locomotive... the 13xx (see: http://mercurio.iet.unipi.it/pix/be/ele ... 1303-2.jpg) and it looks a little something like this (only one view done)

Nice job, wonderful graphics. Looks like the Dutchtrain Set requires only the best and most skilled drawers. :P

Great work mauro! That's some amazing graphics. I don't know any trains from the region, but I'd love to play with them once a nice set is complete. I'm looking forward to seeing some in real life soon, since me and a friend of mine are planning to do a nice rail trip around Europe in April, and definitely want to head up there as well.

Good luck with you painting. :wink:

Cheers,
minime

Whoooa! That's really awesome! Those were only passenger cars at the beginning, weren't they? And that's the engine that's pulling them, right? (Asking this because it looked for the 1st sight that there's no engine for those cars, or one of them is an engine.) Great job! Noce work! Welcome! Keep up the good work! :D
