New US Coast Guard content

Thanks Curtis. Here's the Dolphin repaint I did.
I'm having problems I can't get past with the other models I'm doing. I can texture in GMAX but can't export and I can't export in Blender but suck at texturing. I got that first problem worked out that you told me how to fix but now when I export in gmax and try to open the mesh in PEVsoft I get multiple Access Violation error messages. Hopefully I can figure a way to get past those so I can get these other Coast Guard vessles in the game.

If you do a username search under my name on the DLS I have some Navy ships on there. The USS Boone guided missile frigate, USS Fitzgerald destroyer, USS Forrestal carrier, and the USS Wasp Amphibious assault ship. Also a tanker. I have plans to do an Automobile transport ship soon. I also have a battleship that I just need to upload but that one wasn't created by me just imported to Trainz. I'm always open to requests though. I've also started the older style High Endurance cutter and a motor life boat to go with the rest of my USCG fleet.
Yup yup! I want to get started on that auto transport ship soon but sometimes I tend to start a few different projects at once so as soon as I finish my cutter I will start it. I also have a Coast Guard Lear jet I'm almost done with. Can anyone else think of any other unique ships or ship/seaport related objects? I'm looking for a couple ideas. If not ships then anything. Oh, I was thinking of doing large wood dock pylons also like the ones pictured.
I'll look into some of those. I'm not very good with planes. The learjet i'm doing is my first and i didn't even model the whole thing just finished it and textured. As far as the carriers, I have the USS Forrestal already that someone else modeled and I brought into the game, but that is a newer carrier. I can look and see if anyone else has modeled any of those carriers with sketchup on the 3d warehouse and possibly bring them in game if someone has made one already. I've never modeled a carrier and judging how long the USCGC Healy, Coho, and Bertholf took me a carrier would take me a very long time to model. But maybe in the near future as I am learning and getting better at creating my own content every day.
Landing ship, Tank. It usually has a double-door opening in the bow so that it can hit the beach and let the tanks drive off the bow onto the beach.

I'm pretty sure I have plans / drawings for an LST, if you are interested.

Landing Ship Tank. As I recall they had a huge door on the bow for loading and unloading tanks and other vehicles on a beach.
(Oops! I didn't see page 2.)
As for modeling the Kitty Hawk, I have done it for "Shadow Warrior" using the Build engine. There is no way of importing it to Trainz.

Sorry guys, I haven't been on in a bit. My models are for 2009 because thats the version I have. The LST would be cool. I might have to make one. I wanted to make an LCAC which is basically the modern version of one of the LCT. I have been working on some lowpoly planes modeled after the broken, abandoned and in storage aircraft at the bone yard at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. So far I have done a couple B52's and F-14 Tomcats. Working on a C-130 now. I seem to jump from project to project, in Trainz and in real life too lol. I'll post some pics in a new thread soon.
