I have always wanted to create models for TS, especially signals, I have 3DS Max 2010. Would anyone be offering me help?

We are all willing to help with our special skills. My skills have been developing since the early days of MSTS and I'm still learning. Online tutorials are a great way to get started and there are hundreds available. Learn the art of searching (Google, etc.) before you ask for help on the forum. If you do run into a roadblock and have exhausted all other sources, ask for help on specific topics. We are all willing to help but this is the route most of us have taken to master our craft.

There are tons of 3DS Max videos on Youtube to get you started.
Cheers!

I searched a lot online and had help here from several members here. I have only been at it for a couple of years, but the bug has bitten me and its now become an addiction of sorts. I'm willing to help you out if you get stuck. I use Max as well. Feel free to PM me. !!*ok*!!

It's a little bit of a late start, Harry.
Models are usually young , slim and attractive.
I've seen pictures of you and frankly I'm not sure this is the right career for you.

This may help get you started.

Before you make signals (which require scripts and a whole host of other things to make them work)
I suggest you make some static scenery objects to begin with to build up confidence.
