I haven't.

But Coen has several times, check his youtube channel.

Chalkyk has: http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.p ... it=italian

Novorus went over the top with one: http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.p ... lit=storch

The railroad modellers scratch build building all the time, but mostly just the exteriors. Looking at youtube might result in some more information, but for Chalkyk and Novorus, you could ask specific questions in their threads.

I have never had the cache to build one myself.

However I have seen them being done here on the forum as part of diorama builds. The links provided in the previous post should help you find your footing.

As always happy modeling and keep sticking styrene.

Jeez I missed Novoruses build, I've seen many of Coen's videos and follow Chalky's work. I find scratch building amazing, the time and effort, imagination, skill etc it's a whole different dimension to building kits.
