Oh boy, I'm hooked on this. Here's another PRR classic! Still got a bit o' work to do (you can still see some of the OR&W maroon in the high angle shot ) One problem though, it's kinda hard to repaint an engine wothout losing some of the tecture details, such as hood doors. However, it would be hard to tell anyway on a dark model like this one. What do you think?
Thanks!
-Mike

MikeIf that is Dick Cowen's unit, you can keep the door details very easily by painting the correct layer. Try using the *.psp files (Paintshop). I don't know what you are using to paint (It looks good BTW! , but if you don't have paintshop, I don't think those files will help).I'm working on some dark units too. If you check out the pic, you can see by painting the appropriate layer and adjusting properties, you can have your paint and detail too! Dick did a masterful job on this! (YAY DICK!)Gary

I'm using Picture It! Photo Publishing by Microsoft. It's really for editing digital photographs, not for reskinning MSTS stuff. I'm not sure on how to use the layering system it comes with, but I can figure that out when the weekend or summer vacation rolls along
Thanks for the tips
Mike

RE: Pennsy RS-3

Thanks! Here's a different shot. Although you can't see them, the door details ARE there. I did it the hard way and painted them over using MSPaint (something I'll never do again ). Still some touching up to do, and maybe I'll get to upload 'em. I'm considering doing a weathered version, but I can't seem to find the trucks in any of the maps.

RE: Pennsy RS-3

WOW...Great job on those. one thing I found out: check every ace file,as he may have placed the number on a different texture, then mapped it to where it should be. Overall, you can look forward to me downloading a copy of it whenever its done.

RE: Pennsy RS-3

Thanks! I really can't work on these now b/c high school exams are starting next week and I gotta CRAM!!! But, I'm pretty sure I'll be finished with the RS-3 and the AS616 in another 12 days when I bust outta there for the summer !
