My first try at reskinning

Thank you for that bit of info Papa.



So far Engravers MT is the closest font I've found for the reporting mark. I also can't figure out how to recolor the latches on the doors. I recolored the section of the template labeled door parts, but it didn't do anything.

I also don't think there's any way to move the numbers without editing the model.

Regrettably, at the moment no. You can disable the auto numbering and put the number on the car with the load data, etc. It's possible to have several numbers available, but it requires creating and editing distinct, individual .bin and .GeoPcDx files, which can be a headache.

That's too bad. I think I'll just release it with the regular auto numbering and if it ever becomes possible to easily change the location of the numbers, I'll make an updated version of the car.

Thank you bobbel! That Erie Roman font is a perfect match.

I have a solution but it's a bit annoying to set up and I haven't got it perfect yet - it involves child objects & scripting but it's nothing massively complicated. It is why I'm still sitting on that CN stuff though.

I've decided that I'm just going to paint the road numbers onto the car. Only problem now is, how do I disable the auto numbering?

Set the .dscv file to one two digit number, or rename it to "whatever.dscv.bak" the sytem will not auto number if the file is missing.

Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Isn't it great? It's my birthday gift to me!

Anyway, I think that's about as good as this car is going to get. It's not a 100% perfect recreation, but it's pretty darned close.

I think it looks great.

[MadMike1024]

Very nice indeed!

It does look great! And a Happy Birthday, BTW!
