Nice, very nice.  Me I have alwasy wanted a Aga like the one they used to have in one of the staff mess rooms in the park I used to live (and worjk) in, It was multi purpose, so burnt coal, coke and wood. You can bet that mostly it burnt wood, being situated in a park the size of RIchmond Park. The mess rooms had no mains suppiles at all. Lighting was gas (bottled gas) and sanitation was a cess pit.

I always though it would have made a great place to live, and wouldn’t have taken too much conversion to turn it into a habitation.

Only drawback would have been the lack of internet access. Oh and a reliable power source for the pooters I guess.

Just updated the picture. Changed the oil ring.
Made one from scratch, 103 objects and it still don’t look right.

Looking good though.  Sometimes we are our own worst critics.

Much improved on the “oil ring”, I would say.

I agree, I don’t know squat about building engines but I too would say the new version looks much much closer to the real one then your first attempt.

Hi. Just thought I would submit this image as I was quite pleased with the result.

Made with Bryce 7 Pro. All objects are made from the objects and primitives
that come with Bryce.

Used Elefont for the text.

I’m open to criticism but please don’t hurt me.

I’ve included the messy scene screenshot for the curious.

 

 

Thanks StuartB4 for sharing this fine work.

Very, very impressive modelling! I am glad you included the wireframe shot as well. Just an idea: you can change the “paper” background to black and then use different colour wireframes for the parts and thus explain somewhat how it is put together. That would show off your modelling skills even more. But the render really knocks me out. The lighting is superb and the contrast between wood and metal works well.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work later.

BTW how long did that take to get to current state?

Very nice indeed.

kind regards

Thanks for your kind comments Kine_magiK.

Thanks for the background colour tip, never even thought about changing it before.

As you can see I did use different colour wire frames for some of the objects.
I seem to have a bad habit of using the default colour until something goes
wrong and I can’t get to the object I need to edit because it’s embedded deep
in side something else. I will learn though.

It actually took about 4 days to create but on and off when I had the time.

Thanks again.
