Hey everyone. Just wanted to show you the newest project the MASW team has been working on. I'd really like some sugestions and constructive criticism on how to make it better.
Few things I know:
Handrails in back
Stripes alignment
pilot
Other than that, I hope you like it.-NickCentral Illinois Locomotive Works Founder

RE: MASW: MP36PH-3S

It looks pretty sharp, well done. However, the front looks a little pointy, try rounding it by adding more sides. I know that anything "streamlined" can be tough to model, I tried making one of those beasts before I really knew what I was doing and quickly gave up. Again, you're doing a good job.

RE: MASW: MP36PH-3S

Wow those look really good, but I notice how the engs are smaller than the Metra bi-levels, and If i'm not mistaken the MP36s are just as tall as the bi-levels.Just thought you might like to know, and keep up the good work

RE: MASW: MP36PH-3S

Very Nice Work but a few questions are you planning on rounding the corners or making the windows transparent? and is this going to come out in CalTrain?
