Back to the Future III Diorama

[kurtl]

I would like you one my probable most complex intend here to present.
This idea goes for a long time in my small model construction brain around, impact for this was the Aoshima De Lorean out back into the future III.


With the kit regard thought I it madly would be if it the locomotive in addition would also give. Then one could represent this scene.


I discovered this photo


I believe the idea had already a great many before me, all the same nevertheless wanted I that in such a way to now make. My dear model construction colleague Thomas (Thomsn) gave me the reference it this locomotive as kit gives.

And see there I had the luck such a locomotive to find.


I wanted to see in such a way this model natural to painting like it in the film am. Only it was to be found very heavily pictures of this locomotive from the film.
Briefly vorm it despairs came to me the idea times to look whether a fan PAGE from back into the future gives and obviously gave' s ......
There to me very rapidly was helped and I got the pictures which I needed. But with regard these had I to mine frighten to determine that the film locomotive with the kit locomotive at all does not agree. In the film 6 drive wheels air-fixed the locomotive only 4 and those had was also something large to the extent.


Thus looks the locomotive from the film. This locomotive has the name “Sierra No.3”

Now I wanted to check off this project already times, but then my ambition was nevertheless somewhat stronger and I decided the kit than basis for a change to use.
After long around to fiddle I had to again reject also this idea. It was small from the masses to briefly the extent of the boiler too etc. .........
Then dacht I ok build yourself stop one and now tries I this nevertheless very daring project on the legs äh wheels to place.

And wheels is equivalent times a good keyword. Since there reliably no such wheels as accessories in 1/24 is (at least have I none found) made I to the work and was even caught to such a wheel to building.
Here see to her the emergence of my necessary wheel.

First I cut strong plastic plate out with a circle measurer some rings of a 1mm



This then stuck together with one another with the wheel scar and the rotor proceeded I exactly the same.



Around the spokes to placing I drew correctly this collecting main ......


Subsequently, I stuck the spokes (from Evergreen profiles).


So now the wheel is finished


And here in the comparison with the wheel from the kit .............

you my friend, are a brave soul, and you must really like back to the future! haha

I'm quite intrigued, and am dying to see more!!!!!!!

[exhaust smoke]

This is cool!! I am just about to do the same diorama!!

BTTF3 is definitely one of the best sci-fi films!!!!

[bhop73]

This should be interesting.

[Jay!]

Help us to understand your meaning...

Are you going to modify the Airfix General kit (my father had one of those in the garage when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in AGES!!) to look like the movie locomotive? Or are you building the movie locomotive from scratch?!

[kurtl]

@ Jay
I try the locomotive to scratch building. But I will use also parts of the kit. like for example the tender.

[kurtl]

The next steps in the building of the project are concerned with that?????
(for super, I build which and white not even as is called) I call it stop times Vorwagen. Of the kit is somewhat too short from the wheel base for my Sierra. Therefore the framework must be extended.

Here the original of parts of the wheel admission

Unfortunately then also the leaf springs are too short. For long unfortunately look for in my spare parts depot had I determination which I now also these parts themselves to make must.


From 0.5 mm a plastic plate cut I 3 mm broad touch down, these on those differently to lengthen were then shortened and to end rounded off.


For sticking together I drew again a sketch, which I fixed on a Korkplatte with pins and also directly had in such a way positioned which I the individual parts into its form „to force “could.



And in such a way now the leaf springs look out

WOW. This is going to be amazing!

[auw12]

This is a totally INSANE project!!!!!!

[2.2 Straight six]

whoa...

[Enzoenvy1]

Damn, I liked those films as much as everyone else, but this is a real liking to the movies. Seems like the ol Delorean is popping up here everywhere lately, lol. THis ione though will be the ultimate one!!!

Great fab work, very exact and clean. opcorn:

Holy cow! I can't beleive you're going to scratchbuild the entire locomotive - even using some parts or the tender, that's an enormous undertaking! Not that you can't do it, but the sheer size of the thing is astonishing. But the work on the wheels and the leaves are awesome. Have you tried to find a G scale (somewhat around 1:24) locomotive more like the one you're trying to replicate? You could probably find a non-operating one on ebay for inexpensively to save you some trouble. But, if you want to build it, go for it! I would love to see what you can do. Remember, too, the counterweights are all different on the drivewheels, so you'll have to make at least 3 different shaped wheels.

[glacier985]

can't wait to see some more work on this, I love the BTTF movies

[quadzero]

It looks like you will be putting in about the same amount of energy into this project as they put into the movie itself. I'm gonna follow along on this for sure.opcorn:
Excellent work so far I have to say.

[kurtl]

@willimo
Naturally have I tries a model to find. But unfortunately I could not find. The wheels are fortunately not different.



Now I have „the rotary stand “for the Locomotiv finished. The wheel base was extended something, and as wheels deduce from the tender. These I must later however still pour off.
