UP AC6000 project log

[bentrain14]

Hey guys, thought I'd make this thread to put all of the project pics in, that way we aren't flooding the other threads with this, and if you want its an easy way to find all the updates, news, and screenshots on the project. To start off here is a new texturing technique I am experimenting with to give the rippling effect of sheet metal.
*Note ths is the texture layer and are the same textures youve seen over and over in the previous updates.

Don't want to be rude but I don't think it's necessary to do daily posts. It's better to just do it when something/noticeable gets completed.

Looking good! Quick question though, what does the 'Under Warranty' label mean?

 

[bentrain14]

You know, that's a good question. I honestly don't know at the moment.
@ryanstrains, no your fine, I'll take your advice. Thanks.

The Under Warranty tags I believe refer to when the locomotive is repaired under warranty. Just a guess, but I'm sure someone might have a bit more knowledge on the matter.

NOTE: UP SD70M #4014 has the same tag. Before it's big move with the Big Boy it was in the shops being overhauled, so I'm assuming some of it could be warrantied, pfft I dont know.

Thank you! And actually, the positive comments and feedback from others really makes the difference in motivation. Austin and I should know... So we should be asking, please keep up the feedback, every comment makes the difference!

Lookin sharp Ben! Time to fix the bogie color and add the hinges. Right now I think your doors are a bit stuck.

Edit: Wait a second! They have no hinges! What the hell is up with people and their hingeless doors! You're screwing me up GE!

 

[bentrain14]
