[wilh]

It's not quite done yet...

Perhaps not, but well on it's way, pray continue...

Well on its way, until he hits that mapping issue....:hehe:

Good luck with this one! I tried it before, and there is a problem you will run into where the stripes will not mate on the curved hood.

There's a reason why that nose is still untouched....
Yes, I have had issues with that alignment. Yours looks quite good as well.
I find it very ironic that yours is also 393.

LOL, I think that was the first F-7 that came up. I had great ambitions for this one. I've seen 1507 (the GP-7 at the Gold Coast RR Museum) and the b I was going to do ACL and then it would have been a simple color change to do FEC too. The compound curves around the front hood where the purple/yellow main side stripe ends were pretty tricky too, but they were at least do-able.

The finished product.

Not bad at all!

You all are gonna hate me......

just finishing up the arn..got the gyra light to work and spin....

No reason for haters, often different paint shops turned out the exact same models with different appearances. I remember Al Krug had pointed that out in one of his photo essays.

I find extreme Irony in that screenshot. Something from the 50's being pushed, (or hauled) by something from the 90's built in the 1970's.

And by the way, who donated those skins for that GP38-2?

LOL, it is a great looking paint scheme.... quite the unusual colors. I'm just glad to see them working in game. Looks like you pushed the yellow top stripe down a couple of pixels. I thought about doing that myself, but I didn't want to go through all of the effort again. I decided to go with the easier SCL ones as my first F's (which I just made available on my site).

Those aren't the UP GP38-2s that you are looking for...

Yep, this one has had me pulling my hair out for about a year......It is a compromise solution....

Indeed he did.

Chris, your ACL Unit is a step above mine for sure.

Thanks,

It wasn't always that way... there are a lot of failures that I keep hidden.... It took me a lot of practice.....
