Is anyone making a new HST power car in the new FGW colours of just plain blue with the FGW logo?

thanks

Yes!!! Please bear with me, these are quickies, done this evening, now I have Dave's permission to use the 3D model



These literally took a couple of hours. Here is the real thing:

What think???

cheers

sweet, will they come ready packed with consists as in a forward and reverse consist?

i think the background blue needs to be a bit darker, and possibly slightly more purple

looks good so far jo. but the swirl deffinitely will need attention. they seem a little blurred

That background colour is a bit too blue - It does need to be the same colour as the current FGW barbie purple colour (According to the photos i have)

Other than that its looking very good.

Can't wait to download it

Like I said - it was literally an hour's work! Hopefully I'll be able to get some photos of the swirls soon. The one I used here is off teh old neon, with a pale blue overlay and quite severe modification

cheers

Well, I do agree that it looks a little on the bright side, but still looks good - will be interested to watch it develop

Cheers

Any Updates on this train?

43125...... how very apt

If only it was a development of the APT

It's very good - but where is the shine coming from?
Also, I commend you for trying this livery as it is possibly one of the most complicated, but I am sure there is pink and stuff in the squiggles?

Nevertheless, very good for an hours work!

Apologies, not had chance to do much recently, sadly school and another MSTS project have overtaken at teh mo
Anyways, the shine is becasue its in shape viewer, and regards the pink in the neon bit, that was on the original livery, http://ukrailrollingstock.fotopic.net/p35909104.html , not the later onem though I think I may have slightly underestimated the pinkness of the current livery. Anyway, shouldn't be too hard to alter. I have now added the pink coach letters and ATP signs etc shown here http://great-western.fotopic.net/p37856068.html and I may upload a screen this weekend if I have time. Also, I've found a suitable sound set for the MTU locos, so when released, I'll include details of the additional download needed

cheers

Any more updates??!

Um, its going quite slow at the moment, but when I have 5 mins I do a bit here and there. The power car (the lead one, 43125) is done, and the colour I have settled on is the colour of the existing FGW HST, but with a more bluer tinge, because the existing colour didn't look right. I sort of have a half way house between the prototype and the previous model. Looks ok me thinks. Some people commented on the blurry textures on teh coach, I can't change this, because the 1024 wide texture does the whole carriage length. Its not two halves like most locos and carriages are

hopefully get a screenie or two soon

cheers

jo

Well heres some more screens

Livery details

More carriage detail

I had the Barbie livery power car on the rear to check how the colours match. I'm happy with it.

General montage of body shots. The side textures use 2048s, so the detail is that much sharper now. I may do the locos too, but that depends if I can be bothered to redraw my textures again or not

Any comments on it so far?

cheers
