Another quick update

Howdy world,

Not much happening today really, had a trip down to Jessheim with Tore today as he had a appointment down there with someone I hope will help over time.
Rain most of the day, sun in the late afternoon.

Hence, not a very good mood setting day – but, I was able to crank open gmax a little and whip out what turned out to be a large hoist house for the Iron Blossom Mine I’ve been working on for the last week or so.
Working from a drawing set I got hold of from the Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette I been trying to faithful recreate the structure as the drawing says, but I’ve not fully succeed as set out to do.
But, I’m happy with the way I do it though. 🙂

For the place in Trainz where I put this it might be a little to large set of structures – and when comparing the head frame and the hoist house to the ore bin – it sure looks like a tiny ore bin…

But, I’m having fun, and while making up the start of the texture set for this structure took me a while – and left me with no time to do the rest, I think I’m on a good track here.
Now, to find time and energy to do the rest.

It’s almost 01:00 here, Saturday is only a night of sleep away – so I’m not sure when I will work on this again.

So, for the time being, this is where I stand now:

First, a look at the basic shape and look of the new hoist house. I have yet to map out textures for the windows and doors, add on a corrugated roof and a foundation – and for my use, a smokestack might also be installed. 🙂

Second, here is the hoist house as seen from the backside of it, looking down the hill and seeing all 3 models of mine. 🙂 and, yes, I need to map out a texture for the roof as this is only basic planks.

Third, this view shows all 3 models looking up the hill, the good thing about making this as separate models I’m more free to place them around in the ground and just connect them as needed. 🙂

Hope the views can bring some pleasure to look at, they do for me and that is the important part I think. 😛

and, with this I sign off for now.
