Posted September 18, 201014 yr Hello train fans. My lastest creation and my first train in one MOC :) First modern train - Stephenson's Rocket Maybe not identical, but I`m quite proud of it. So enjoy (I hope) Flickr Brickshelf (when public)
September 19, 201014 yr Not only is your MOC of the Rocket great but the presentation is outstanding too.
September 19, 201014 yr Hello! What a great historic setting! You filled the scene witn many authentic details. The gas latern with the clock is a realy eyecatcher, and the self-built barrel with the two pirate ship outlooks is a clever idea. Cheers, ~ Christopher
September 19, 201014 yr Bravo, this is a simply beautiful rendition of this train! The platform, the detail, the shaping, everything is perfect and brilliant. Good work mate, and definitely keep bricking
September 19, 201014 yr This is amazingly beautiful How do I make the tender and barrel, I have tried but never got what I wanted? keep up the great work! Edited September 19, 201014 yr by CarrollFilms
September 19, 201014 yr Great rendition of the original and famous train, there's really nothing I could think of to improve it!
September 19, 201014 yr This is such a nice classic early rendition of such historical steam locomotives. This is now blogged in,
September 19, 201014 yr There's a special feeling coming from your MOC. A feeling of an era long past. Very nice MOC! It looks awesome! I also like the mix of reddish brown and old brown tiles. The ground/platform looks more realistic that way.
September 19, 201014 yr Very cool,well done kris! I must admit that I am mythed about how you managed to make the boiler, but however you've done it you've managed to make a fantastic copy! Harold
September 19, 201014 yr Author Thanks a lot guys for nice words. I`m very glad :) WhiteFang - It`s always nice to be blogged on Classic Town CarrollFilms and Harold - The boiler is made from round plates 4x4, rubbers and tiles. It`s nothing spectacular. The barrel is similar.
September 19, 201014 yr Beautiful MOC of such an important piece of history and that tiled boiller is just too COOL ! Excellent job designing this one, a friend of mine has built his Rocket with a classic town feel to it using rare parts....I must ask if he'll post it. Anyway, 'kris kelvin' another AWESOME creation from you, so I'm a conformist! !
September 19, 201014 yr Caught this one on Flickr yesterday, and immediately liked it. The detailing is great - I agree that the barrel-type design is very well done. And the presentation is the thing that really nails it - great scene. Overall just a fab MOC!
September 20, 201014 yr OK, I think I got how you did the boiler:Tank treads.... Am I right? (this reminds me to post my 2-2-4) Edited September 20, 201014 yr by Unitron6991
September 22, 201014 yr You come with an amazing MOC again, Kris. It is a faithful rendition of the famous piece in the history of steam engines. I admire how easily and how well you are able to switch the themes of your MOCs: pirates, castles, WWII, western, city .... I always look forward to your new creations.
September 22, 201014 yr Very nicely done, the details are fantastic. And as others have said, well done on the presentation, too. --Tony
September 23, 201014 yr Author Once again thank you very much for nice words The boiler is made from plate round 4x4, tiles and rubbers.
