Railworks America

A little something I decided to make.

Looking great! Glad to see you are successfully starting to repaint.

Hope the mapping won't stop you. It's been the one thing that repainters have been running into lately with that model.

I checked the MSTS version and it doesn't look like it will be a problem.

The MSTS version is a completely different model from this one. It's not mapped the same.
Not trying to discourage you, by all means keep it going. I'm just warning you that you might run into a mapping issue.

I let him know in another post showing what parts he would run into, and he said it should be alright. I think he can pull it off.

Yeah, what he said.

Progress Update 11-26-17.01

Looking good.

Sorry that there hasn't been any progress updates in a while, just taking a short break so I don't get burned out. Will be returning to work soon.

I'm back!

In the last picture, notice how the safety stripes are warped by the nose curvature. If anyone here has experience working with straight lines on curved surfaces, could you please give me a few tips on how to straighten them up?

Been there done that. About all you can do is make some nice gentle curves and then go back and eyeball until they look right. In paint.net if you draw a straight line there are two dots along the line. By sliding them off the straight line you can make nice curves in any shape you need.

I'll try that. Thanks!
