Miniart European Tramcar, with crew and passengers, in Ukrainian colors ... grime and rust is the new pink ...

The undercarriage assemblies look so good; weathering is neat, to the point, yet shows the effects of a working Tram. Sorry to read that one part left home and is gone for good. Is it going to be a difficult part to scratch out and replace?

Keep 'em comin

Thank you Peter. No, the loss is more annoying than difficult to scratch a replacement …

The chassis is looking great and very realistic to my eye. What I can't spot on the pics, are oil residues, which can be seen on every rail bound vehicle. I often add them to mechanical parts with a gloss finish in contrast to the duller parts.
The short wheelbase in relation to the long chassis looks interesting, clearly allowing to follow curved rails better.

It’s actually there, but I think I can enhance it more.  The blue background and the iPhone picture don’t go well together to show the nuances I see IRL. Still, I will take your advice and make the oil grime more visible.

I would love to see progress on this one Hubert .

Me too, Martin 🤣!

I stalled the project when life, and real estate projects took over … I was in the middle of masking the windows before splashing some paint.

When I finally returned to the bench, it was time for the new GB. So, the tram will come back after a one-year hiatus, when the Cutlass has left the SOD.
