Brand New Frisco 1522 model from TrainzAmerica

[trainman7616]

Probably not because its being made in HF4

 

[benjaminw]

I probably should have thought of that. :hehe:

Here are two pictures of just 2 days worth of texturing.

Mighty impressive sir. And if I may say, you've made quite the leap in quality lately! This will turn out beautifully!

 

[Chadd04]

You're doing a fine job, I'm really excited for you. Keep up the good work.

 

[trainman7616]

*Incab figure attachments

This is gonna be great!

Last update until its fully textured.

Impressive.

 

[Lomax40]

big question will this be free or a payware product

 

[Matt3985]

WOW it looks 1,522 times better then it did before. Keep up the good work.

 

[trainman7616]

I guess you all will have to wait til she is done to see if she goes in the freeware or payware thread.

 

[Lomax40]

I shall wait and keep up the great work

 

[trainman7616]

Should have nearly the whole engine textured tonight. In exception with the wheels.

 

[trainman7616]

Forget what i said. I will keep you all up to date, atleast 2 or 3 times a week. Anywho, here is frisco now. I striped the old textures yesterday at 2:30pm EST and got all this down at 5:30am EST. I have some textures to redo so please dont call me out on those since I know. Do tell me how she is looking so far.

P.S. There are a few meshes I have to redo, like the pistons

Your not lying....................That is a very nice build, much better than i could ever do. One question though, will you use ARN to add the numbers for the 1522's sister engines or will you just be doing the 1522 herself? And doesn't matter if its freeware or payware, i'll be grabbing this one regardless. Awesome work! :udrool::mop::udrool::mop:

 

[trainman7616]

Thanks guys, to answer your question. I plan to only do 1522 herself, the tender, auxillary tender and coaches. At a later date of coarse

Domes could probably be a bit more rounded on the edge of the top--they look more like a cylinder to me at the moment.

Other than that...not gonna say it's perfect, but it's definitely more up to date with current modeling philosophies than the old one.
