Hey man,

Welcome to the forums, from a fellow newbie.

I really love your models, but I think the texturing is relying too much the trains respective color palette. Any closer examination, for example, just looking at the underside with the wheels and things, and it starts to get bland because its all a flat grey.

Even if you want to keep the gray cartoonish TF2 nature of the design, I would suggest at least adding some differences in light and shadow, or subtleties that diffrentiate between material types. It doesn't make sense that the grey on the train wheel is the same hue and value as the grey on the body, or railings.

Aside from making the textures more interesting, I love the visual appeal of the model. Push those textures!

Yeah you're right. I'm by no means good at photoshop, and that was my first texture I've ever done myself, but I'll keep working at it and hopefully improve on it :d

Very nice model, I saw this on FPSB.

It looks great in-game and makes a great prop for maps

A nice model for game, but need to work around on texturing.. Good luck
