Yep... Just there were too many reflections to get the right colours.The "light" blue in the bottom one needs to be quite a bit lighter to match the doors.

That is rather nice, and that's coming from Mr Yellow here.I like the idea of using something other than yellow, black, and the body colour for the front of the train. However, I'd put a black window 'illusion' on the gangway door, like this...

A waste of a post and a poor attempt at humour.My "slight change" to the new livery applied to 221 101 would be to obscure the whole thing with a cloud of fog.
It's not a bad idea. The Voyager's are Marmite and the new Virgin livery is crap. The window band is botched fix and if Virgin win the WCP, hopefully they remove the flowing silk livery.A waste of a post and a poor attempt at humour.

Or drop the green and have the whole front yellow?LNWR or WMR liveries - just drop the yellow ends on the door panels. They look absolutely ridiculous.
At present I respectfully disagree, but that's because they haven't yet applied the frankly crap ribbon branding which, on the Pendos, has ruined a previously sleek design.
It never looked as good on the Voyagers, so I'm willing to wait and give it the benefit of the doubt, though you'd still have to drag me kicking and screaming to get me on-board one of those favelas on wheels for more than 10 minutes.
It raised a chuckle here, actually. Your post is more of a waste, I think.A waste of a post and a poor attempt at humour.
I think silver or gunmetal grey would be better.To avoid the hypocrisy demonstrated above, the Northern livery would be classier if the white was replaced with black, as well as being easier to keep clean!
Silver and grey trains are ten-a-penny, black would be a bit more exclusive... silver or grey with blue ends would be a bit too similar to TPE too.I think silver or gunmetal grey would be better.
But the black will be yellow soon... for a bitNone of you have seen the new livery on 221 101 have you...?
It's got a 100% black front with a grey body.
Looks like a Predator sequal filmed in Scotland.Inverting the ScotRail livery would be cool for Halloween. I like itView attachment 53443
Thank you!Very nice. I had to go and check to shake the "isn't that what they normally look like?" feeling.
Alas, it'd never pass without the front emergency door.
Did the door, but it doesn't seem to look right with my Paint skills...Very nice. I had to go and check to shake the "isn't that what they normally look like?" feeling.

Very nice!I edited an Italian 'New Pendolino' into the Virgin Trains livery. This is more than a slight change I think though... :P

The 360 frontage would look good on a 185So as the thread title suggests, what small tweaks to a livery would you do to a livery to make them look nicer?
A couple of mine:View attachment 39762
(185 with a more 360-based front end)
View attachment 39763
(Class 170 with no yellow above orange line)
(also, excuse the poor painting)
That's quite effectiveHere is what a 185 would look like without the yellow front (like on the TPE livery 68). I personally think it looks better without a yellow front (though I suspect I'm probably in the minority here)
That would be great if Virgin West Coast didn't have PendolinosI'm not a fan of predominantly white liveries, so I've been thinking of this livery for a while but after seeing this thread I decided to try and mock it up. As I said, I'm not the strongest in photoshop, and we're probably out of the realms of 'slight changes' here, but how about an inverted Azuma....
