Bullion Carriers: Old school or TOPS

As the mammoth unwrapping and baking cycle comes to the end for the bullion carriers it's nice to be able to show some progress.

The bullion van is now lettered and numbered complete with the option to take control of the coding.

The picture is still very much work in progress with lots of material and texture tweaks still needed. Looks like the tweaks will include investigating why the end lettering appears to be glowing in the picture!

The Devil is in the Detail

The last modelling session was one of those strange ones where there seemed a lot of effort and no major impact.

It was detail time with the vents and periscopes going on the roof. The underframe has gained most of the required equipment and the ends have have had their last bits added.

The interior is still a quandary at the moment with most reports mentioning bullet proof double glazing, heavy tint and even mirror effect glass. Photographs do support this so it may be a case of making the vestibule visible and something creative with the the saloon windows.

Feeling Secure?

An in development render of the NWX Security Bullion Vehicle with bodyside windows cut and the majority of end detail complete.

The roof still requires ventilators and periscopes, the windows need to be glazed and then there's just the small things like underframe details and a pair of B5 bogies!
