Class 57

Looking good Jon.

Would you be able to send me the .s file you have used for the 57. I can't seem to find that variation anywhere.

Cheers

Thanks Jon.

I found some close up images of the 57 that I had on my hardrive. I redone the front from my textures and added the silver windows. I have also retextured the bogies to the Class 57 bogies and added all the details down the side. I still need to do a bit more, but let me know what you think...

Not sure you have quite enough rivets in those window frames, Anton

Seriously - very smart work. I particularly like the dodgy (flaking) paintwork at the bottoms of the sides.

Its not flaking paintwork. Looking at some close up shots they seem to mark something out along the side of the loco, although im not exactly sure what it is.

And with reagrds to the rivets, thats the beauty of photos! Saves me counting!

Oops - sorry about that The last time I saw a 57 in FL livery the paintwork definitely left something to be desired.

I guess it's to indicate where all the various switches etc are?

Hi Anton
Looking good .... 57004 is a good choice as it has a flush cab.... but be aware it is only on one end (No2 I think).
You should be OK with the S shape I sent you, as it was based on Ian's 47375, which is also like that.
The other flush cab is 57001... I think (not sure if its both ends or not).
I like the windows, I think originally they started off painted black.
So depending on age, depends how dark they should be.
Can you send me the side texture, so I can finish 57005 please.
Cheers
Jon

Yeah your right Jon one end is flush. Ive not actually shown that in the shots.

I will send you the texture now.

[Backfoot2002]

Hopefully the final version.

Cheers Jon. Do you have the model where both ends are indented? If so could you send it to me please?

Hi Anton
Away from my main PC ATM (on laptop)..... but I don't think there is one... I just adjusted (shaded) the front texture.
But I will check later.

A weathered Freightliner Bond....

Hi Anton

I think that looks great.

Although it looks like there's only you, Micheal and me interested.

Cheers

Brilliant work Anton - is that a new 57 model or is it Ian's new 47 re-textured?
