First credit where credit is due. Without the very valuable tips from Smokebox I would not have been as far as I am now so a huge thanks to him :)

Thiese are my first reskin attempts, I am learning on the go and as said Smokebox has been very generous with tips. It is a fantasy skin so if you don't like those.... please don't hate :) I had posted a previous version on Steam (the pictures and video I mean)
Now without further ado the uppdated pictures and video. If you have seen the previous versions you will see it definately improved. I am certainly not done yet as the tender is not how it should be but progress is there. I will not release it yet off course but might when I am happy with the result :)



















apparently the youtube code doesn't work? so made it a link :)
enjoy

I can see you are also starting your journey into repainting? Well done for your first time!

As for the YouTube link, it needs to be an HTTP link, not HTTPS. So, use "[youtube]http://www.youtube[dot]com/watch?v=qFywiTxfnfg[/youtube]" instead.

haaa ok :) thanks for that tip much appreciated :)

I can see you spent the night putting dirt and expensive paint on a symbolic insulated rewards car

What happened to that Minion lettering?

honnestly I have no frapping clue and it is why I say the tender need some uh ... tender love and care before I release anything :)
Perhaps one of the esteemed members here knows how this happend, maybe there is a layer above the main_tenderbody file that causes this. I have to investigate
Same with the numbers on the boxcar with the graffiti, it must be a layer abve it. I found some number textures but those are just black squares. I have to see if I can fi out how to remove those so it looks the image is actually painted over instead of UP having painted over my "tag"

With the number textures being just black squares, the number is not than likely mapped into that black square, change the colour of the square and the number on the box car will change. The numbers themselves sit over the boxcars body texture so the number will always be over the graffiti in your case.

oh, but that give me options to "mask" them away then :), if I figure out the correct positions I could change the square colors to reflect what is behind it? or am I thinking to simple here?
