So far so good.....

Working on a rather special package at the moment, but it needed an object that I haven't been able to find: an old RAF accumulator trolley.
So - biting the bit very hard, I got FSDS3 up and running again and after a few hours work I got what I wanted; a lot of trial and error and a BIG BIG thank you to Mike G. for his splendid tutorials which helped me understand far more than the supposed "Help" manual does. Even managed a boolean op without error so rather chuffed at that. It is 90% done - just need to put a dolly wheel on the front with some support braces and then texture it.....

You're welcome Daryl, see nothing to it.

I must admit, when I saw the first screenshot, I thought it was a head-on shot of a Sea King with slightly outsized wheels

Reminded me of something from Robot wars

It will look the business when the textures are on it, well done mate.

Thanks for the encouraging words guys. Having a couple of sticky problems, if anyone can help out I'd appreciate it.
First is the highlighted area - there seems to be some strange green colour coming from somewhere, which is very odd as I have no green in the model at all - the whole thing is grey in FSDS so I don't know where this is coming from.
The second is the not relevant because I just fixed that as I was typing this!

Any help on the green stuff would be appreciated

Did you crop the texture from a sheet of several textures?... the green appears when you "over crop" the texture [off the edge]... if that makes sense

Nope, just a single texture with one colour, 256x256, although I'm sure I could have got away with 64x64 being as it was a single colour, so no cropping was necessary. The shape was made from a tube and moulded into shape but otherwise that's it. Brian has put it in "the project" and says he didn't notice it, so I may have gotten away with it.

Post or PM the file and texture Daryl.
I'm sure it is something simple although I don't know what without a peak at it.
