I did a few different types of screw, which are used for different details of the locomotive. The number of polygons was killing me; my computer told me “Stop throw stones on my back, I am slowing down!” It was necessary to hide so many objects in boxes that my old man finally woke up. Next, I passed to the forehand of locomotive and did a protective grate, headlights and other details, the names of which I honestly can’t even guess  – just one brutal, factory steel and cast-iron monster (Fig.31)!

Moving on I created new details using all those primitives and Editable Poly. I don’t think I need to fully describe the process of modeling the locomotive – it is routine work which took me from my mind. When the basic model of the locomotive was ready, I breathed, scratched my beard and said to myself, “Hey man, it is only part of the working process, so stop scratching your beard and let’s go!” I added a few small details such, as bolts, riveting and other things and at last the model of the locomotive was ready (Fig.32 – Fig.42; Mov.09 & Mov.10).
