Would anyone be willing to make a PREX GP20 out of the BN GP20 that's on steam?

Really any will do since there's actually a lot of GP20s they have.

I would love to help you but the textures for the GP20 are extremely difficult to deal with. The cabinet doors are on a separate texture from the body.

On a scale of 1-10, how bad?

Agreed, one of the reasons I've been reluctant to finish my B&M "GP18" reskin of the GP20. Its one of the more difficult models I've worked with

It's a solid color so the only real challenge is getting the logo on the side.............hmmm.

And depending on which ones you're making, some don't even need that.

I decided to not put the number on the side of the cab so I could use the auto numbering system. If anyone wants to do a manual group with cab numbers on the cab feel free. I'll try to get this into the library tonight or tomorrow. You will need the BN version for this to work since that's the one that had the headlight in the proper position.

How did you get the logo on the side?

With great difficulty. I put it on the cabinets and then by trail and error determined that the logo needed to be increased by 1.2 to fit on the long hood. That number is real close anyway. Then it was a matter of fiddling it into place. This one was in the center of that one upright so I at least had a frame of reference to place it. A few uppy downies and away I went.
