I'm debating doing a contest type thing.

Once a week (or longer if needed. 1 week to paint and 1 week to vote?) a random car type is chosen and forum members can download a paint template and paint their own car then post their creation.

It can be real or fictional. Maybe this is your chance to get your favorite boxcar or maybe a picture of your mom in the game.

forum members can then vote for the best one and I spit it out.


*edit1*
it might be nice for those voting if you add a reply just so i can get an idea of who is intrested.
*edit*

It has begun...

I like the idea but you already made my favorite. I like the Bicentenial stuff and they're already made. Don't wanna have too many.

I guess I should post samples of what kind of work you have to do...


These are filled in templates. I would post a blank one.

You see a Rock Island car made from photos of an HO car and then the output file for LoMo.

then you can also see the Spam.dat skin for the car you can find HERE

Edit~
Holy huge images batman!
I reduced the image sizes for the forums health.

sort of..

we didnt really go over the rules yet or what the first object is.

also that was not the official template... but yeah thats the general idea..

one thing to note; LoMo palatte sucks so make sure you use colors that are close to what is avaialable in game.
that lettering might turn tan in conversion.

I'd be willing to give it a go, but any chance there could be a british one aswell? just I have no interest in the American stuff (sorry)

Count me in. I've been waiting for an opportunity like this to paint some Caltrain stuff. I only have one question though. Are you allowed to release the skin or is it for private use only?

I have no issue with that. I would include more users..

unfortunaty, I don't have the rights to very many Euro-type items.

I thought that it was mspaint.exe these days... I remember pbrush on windows 3.1, but I think it's been mspaint for at least a decade now.
