Hello,
I love the Wilderness Loco design and I'm thinking of doing a full colour Airbrush Illustration 3/4 view of the loco, please dare I ask is anyone has a good reference they could spare me to work from?
Sincerely
Tom

Re: Full colour Illustration
Tom, I'm not sure what you mean by "reference," but this book, just out, should provide everything you need, as well as scale drawings to work from:

Re: Full colour Illustration
Hi Steve,
Thanks, I saw this book a few days ago and I would love to buy it but the cost plus shipping It to Scotland UK would be pretty expensive for me at present. As an artist I can thouroughly appreciate the work that dave has put into the illustrations. I shoould have been more specific in my request what I was hoping for was some good photo references.

Tom

Saddly the best photos of the Fort Wilderness Railroad went down with Dave Rose's website. I'd P.m. him and see if he will E-mail what you need.

Hi Casey,Casey Jones wrote:some good photo references
Instead of ordering the more expensive main volume, you might think about just the Gallery Companion ($19.99). It is chocked full of mostly unpublished photos! and right now, the printer is offering a 15% discount, so that should help with the shipping.......

Re: Full colour Illustration
Hello Brian,
To be honest I am struggling to get a decent reference. I have tried Google but the images are far too small.
I'm hoping that some kind person here might help me out.
David did you get the 2pm's I sent you?
Sincerely
Tom

Hi Tom,
Just got them...thanks for your notes.
Check your message on the back frame structure....see what you think.
On the breakdown of the loco: Pages 119 through 122 of the book illustrate "building" the loco. I see from your earlier post that buying the book and shipping to Scotland is expensive.
I'll be glad to email you a copy of those pages. I will like to send them in PDF format, so let me know if you are good with PDF. That should give you a good idea of the construction steps.
Hope this helps you!

Re: Full colour Illustration
That is a very kind and generous offer, David!
Tom, you should definitely consider getting one or both of David's books. Maybe you have a friend travelling to the States that could pick them up for you? Or maybe David could send you a set directly, and through a cheaper parcel service?
