I impressed, very impressed.

Looks like you a slight texture issue with the wheels though. They are yellow.

Yeah I know about that. It was either yellow stepboards (as per prototype) and yellow axles, or black stepboards and axles, becasue they share a texture. I waited till it was in the game to see how noticable the yellow was on the axles, and its, erm, very bright! so it looks like it'll be black stepboards on this service out of Temple Meads!!!

cheers

Well here is the front

and the rear

of my reskin for the FGW buses. The light clusters are this morning's work, and the carriages are coming along nicely. I have also moved the lights so they line up with the texture, not the position of the original HST lights

cheers

I think he is talking about the MTU power cars, they sound like bus engines in them! I want the screamers back!

Awesome repaint by the way Jo!

Buses is a combo of two things - A) the sound, and b) it's First Group!

i presume its still in "the workshop", so to speak.

Any progress Jo?

ewsjo · Post by **ewsjo** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 8:42 pm

Yeah there has been a bit of progress - the whole set is done now, just some fiddling to do, its been in this state for a bout a month and a half now. I just haven't had the time due to school and work commitments lately. I've got the 2 week easter break now though, so keep your eyes peeled!

cheers
