And finally toughest job started ... Painting... Hope it goes well

Painting almost completed...

Painting done. It was tough but completed successfully. Hope you like paint job. Learned many things like how to use masking tape, paint brushing etc. ..  Now I will add small details like grab bars/ handles, windows, pantograph, headlights etc...

 Modelling cabin interior is almost done with tiny controls..

Awesome work and attention to detail.

That does look realistic.
I have driven this loco ( the real deal ) ( father is in railways)
And it is the same green color.
Good job!

Thank you. More details will be added soon

Wish you a very happy new year to all...

Test run without power...

I was keen on adding black border to windows but everytime I failed. I even tried 3d printing the border and stick it in model but still it was not perfect. Then I tried printing border on clear decal paper and stick it and this time it is perfect.. hope you like it. 

It's perfect 

Where do you get clear decal paper? And which printer - ink jet or laser?

Thanks... I bought it from Aliexpress .    It's inkjet clear decal paper...
What I have learnt so far is clear decal paper works best on transparent and white background and white decal paper works best on coloured background. Inkjet does not print white colour so don't print decal with white colour on clear decal paper.
I am waiting for white decal paper to arrive so I can create custom decal for locomotive numbering etc.

Something like this one?  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-A4-size-no-need-varnish-or-coating-oil-inkjet-clear-transparent-waterslide-decal-paper/1292542963.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.112.fRBKbT&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0%2Csearchweb201602_1_10152_10151_10065_10344_10068_10342_10343_10059_10340_10314_10341_10534_5790011_100031_10084_10604_10083_10103_10307_10142%2Csearchweb201603_40%2CppcSwitch_5&algo_expid=ef73106f-c421-4861-8ad2-d28723a735f8-16&algo_pvid=ef73106f-c421-4861-8ad2-d28723a735f8&priceBeautifyAB=0

Yes..

Finally managed to finished decals.  I loved it but still needs to improve.

That is really excellent!

Here are pics of scratch built pantographs.

Model is completed... .  This is for display. I will hand it over to my client now..  Next is working model.. coming soon...

Hope to see your locos in an exhibition!
Like these...
Best wishes

Thank you very much...

Are you not putting on the windscreen grills?
Btw excellent work!
I do really want to know where to obtain the plans/blueprints from?
Other than taking a sideways picture myself, there seems no option. I want to build indian railways models for my layout but here are no plans. That is what is stopping me.
Regards

I want to make grills but I am checking for right material as it should not look oversized or too thick.

Here is my latest model. I am making for one of our client. It is going to be a working model. Before painting and after painting.

Double decker LHB coach in HO scale.

Well, that's quite a beauty, Shantanu! Keep up the great work.
