A little something Ive been working on this weekend. Using the MSTS conversion Milwaukee F7 Baltic model, so it's not 100%, but I feel like it looks ok? I don't claim to be a great repainter, but im pretty happy with how it has come out so far. A few issues:

- There are some weird shadows on the model itself (such as where the numbers are located)
- Not able to add bump maps retroactively
- Textures are 512x512, low resolution.

Let me know what you think! Are semi-fictional paints interesting?

I like the concept of this locomotive. Looks neat!

All things considered, that is a great job

It will fit in well with the rest of your project...

I need this when done

how far along are you?

It's technically "done", I just dont think it looks very good. The model is very old and has no reflection mapping/lo-res textures.

back to the drawing board then? I think its a great project because we are so lacking on American steam in the game

You may not think it will stand up to player use, but as AI traffic, it would be ideal. Just as Rick released AI specific rolling stock for his Sacramento Northern, why not this?

How goes the Sherman project?

I still like it! I don't really run the MSTS conversions as much but this will give me a reason to! I encourage you to release it!

I would say, do your best on it and release it too, it might not be "great", but its different and that's what id like, seriously im tired of how every single company and whomever seem to stay away from making steamers, that's no knock on anyone either, I love everyones work, I just wish there were more steamers for the game
