Yeah, uh, that's because my original front texture was ..

Nah it wasnt, and ive hardly changed anything but the livery. Mot of it is the original shape

Well, it's occured to me, but on my texture I didn't take into account the lighting box WITHIN the lighting recess, as shown by the black lines around your lighting cluster. If I did, it would have looked better.

I thought that was only a feature on the 165/6's I actually really like the way the 465's look in MSTS. I have only changed the front to match the pictures i have.

I havent seen pcis of the 465's

you could put Gatwick Airport on the front or Reading then the unit would look better placed on the L2B route.

I'd prefer to see Reading on the front.... Gatwick Airport has enough dedicated services and stock already!

Oh and I live in Reading which may make me biased.

Nah, i want to get London Paddington. though im sure i can provide a few destination ace files, so people can choose what they want on the front

Uploaded the latest shot. Sporting a brand new 166 front shape!

Big thanks to buffy for editing the model. Htough not fully finished, non of this would be possible without him

latest shots uploaded. Different one on the front page of UKT to here.

Recent additions include the doors, coach end angles (which u cant se in these pics), the rest of the windows that werent present before, and a corrected rear coach (which hasnt yet been implemented)

Hi all

I must admit when you were making it at first and just using the 465 front I thought "man thats .!" but I retract that comment now i've seen that!

That really is looking like a 166/165 turbo now!

Just for the hell of it heres a pic of a REAL 165, I really can't tell the difference between it and the one at the top of this thread

All the best for this model!

well still got a few adjustments to make, and lots more little details to add.

cheers for the comments though.

Just uploaded the latest shot of the progress sofar.

Yet another front texture rebuild, although even now im not happy with the results. It is however 95% accurate to the real thing.

Several 3d elements in the making atm to be added to it. Gonna eba few very nice additions to the current model to get the right look.

LucaZone · Post by **LucaZone** » Fri Aug 15, 2003 6:29 am

another small update to the 166.

Sorry to sound niggly but will the windows be more tinted? I know it sounds petty but the real thing has reflective ones you can hardly see through.
If not I'll do it myself for my personal use
