Hi all
I've just returned from hols in Scarborough and I took my laptop with Google Sketchup/Paint on it. There I took some photos of class 185s and decided to model one in MSTS. What do you think:

This is work in progress and is only the cab and a portion of the first end coach. I'm working on the rest of the train at the moment.

tbh i didnt believe the 395 story (still waiting for that screenshot you promised me lol :D ) and this looks anything 'but' a 3d render - even if it is you can only do static objects, not much use for a train.

As ever though im happy to be proved wrong and have egg all over my face if it means a 185 for msts :)

Id still like to see the 395 too - such a good looking unit...

Yeah I drew the unit using Sketchup and Paint so I'm hoping the rumours are true and I can convert it to GMax and then into a MSTS model(I saw it done on another rolling stock thread). This is just the beginning though so as to get feedback.

Can we have a large shot of the model, please.

Maybe just a standard shot straight form sketchup.
The image above looks a bit "tampered with"....

Sorry, what do you mean by 'tampered with'?

Forgive me if I'm wrong.... but the image above looks very flat. Almost as though you have just painted over a photograph or sketch.
Fake?!

Hows about an image directly from sketchup? Like this one ^^^^

Sure. I'm out tonight and I'm working most of the week but I should be able to show you something at the end of the week. I need to transfer all of my files from my laptop to my desktop and I've only transferred the one above. The other angles are:
top down view
front view
left view
underside view.
