Carson Car Shops

To get back on track, I think this is about it. Needs a ladder, a roof walk, and a smoke stack and unless you guys can think of anything else, I'm done.

It'll come in at over 3,000 polys when I add those items;



(Oh, I accidentally knocked the window out while I was building it... )



EDIT: I figured out how to make relatively low poly handrails and foot steps and grab irons, btw.
I'm catching on to this 3D app thing...

Rick

Are those things tipped a little bit or is that my imagination ?
And, of course you must know, my imagination flows quite a bit....LMAO

Ken

That trackage is a roller coaster to test trucks and couplers and look at the underside to inspect everything... in other words, yes. LOLOLOL



Is this any better?

WHEW ! ! ! ! !LMAO
Sure glad it's not me. Man-oh-man. There must've been a real 'dip' in that rail . . .

Thanks for clearing that up.

Well, I think I'm done. Unless you guys find or suggest something, I'm going to release it after making the shadows and art files. I gotta figure out how to do that, still.

Oh, poly count is well over 4,000...



Waddaya think?

I LIKE IT! How about a tool car or sawyer car similar to this?
Norm

Rick, such fine work, bud. Keep it up and don't let up.

Norm, why am I following you in these threads ??

Must be because I joined before you.

Well, thanks, guys. I like to build for my own satisfaction and am glad I'm pleasing all of you, too.
I guess our tastes are somewhat similar. LOL

That one looks really nice! The car fits the bogey and the other way around!

Thanks,
Sam

OK, folks, I'm showing off a 'new' set of four wheeled trucks for the Caboose.



I think they look pretty good. What do you think?

Comments, suggestions, criticisms anyone?

Very nice Rick.
Very, very nice.

You're becoming quite the skilled craftsman.

OK, then. Thanks, guys. I'll let these go as is but, they my change a little as I'm still tweakin' on the 'boose. LOL

Well, I've dusted the whole car with a light dusting of sand and, of course, a bit heavier in other places.

The Sand Car;



He he, I think it came out pretty cool. How about you?

Thanks Curtis, that little 'personal challenge' has taught me a few more things about texturing in a 3D app.
Paint.NET ain't all that bad for a free graphics editor either.

My God, man. I'm becoming envious (lolol) with all this wood stuff you're doing.
Honest to God nice. The barrels, this car,...........OOOOOOoooooo. lovely, just lovely....
