Slight changes you would make to liveries to make them nicer

[jayiscupid]

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

This looks good but there's a newer version of the Pendolino running in Italy though quite how the bulbous nose would suit Virgin's livery.....

Made a trio of Class 700 front modifications, some look good.

Put that pink on the doors as well and I think you're on to a winner.

Even the black looks quite good.

You know, I think that's why I don't like the 717s... it looks like they've forgotten to put a colour - any colour - on that panel.

 

[superalbs]

A few more variants.

 

[K.o.R]

Well the last one would never fly but otherwise, very nice.

Black doors + front variant?

 

[superalbs]

Can do!

 

[TRAX]

That’s the best one so far. Although black ends are a french speciality so I may be biased.

 

[AlexNL]

A 700 with a black front does look surprisingly good.

black ends are a french speciality

Needs an operator logo up front!

Needs an operator logo up front!

Oh yeah right there.

 

[jayiscupid]

Can do!

Surprising how much better it looks with that simple addition. Black and white is a stylish and classic combination, strange that it's not used more for liveries.

Can you do a 717 with those various colours (GN would specifically be the light blue)?

I do not have any pictures available to do that.

I do not have any pictures available to do that.

Does it have to be your own photo?

 

[superalbs]

Does it have to be your own photo?

I'd like it to be, yes.

I'm sure to see one soon!

Black would certainly hide that dent in the front.

Delete it, it's hideous!

Quite a difficult image to work with due to how the lighting is, and the angle.

 

[Lockwood]

Hmm... Merging some of those even more...
Colour panel at the front in pink/blue/etc to denote which bit of GTR.
Black doors.
Doors nearest the accessible features in the operator indicator colour?

Would the mixing of brand, sub-brand and accessibility features work well or just be noisy?

 

[mushroomchow]

I'd be tempted to paint the Mk. 3s operating with the ex-GC EMT power cars into a dark blue livery a la the 156s / 153s, as the "connection" the guard compartment offered is lost on those sets. I think the darker shade would work well and look pretty classy, as the power car livery itself is nice but doesn't really match the stock.

Wow! Some brilliant Photoshopping skills

Class 717 in DB Regio livery.

Is that grey bit on the front typical of the livery, or is that just the 717's normal colour there?

Typical of DB livery, in real life it's white on 717s

Thanks, quite happy with how it turned out. Just uploaded an edit to remove the cant too. Tweaking a bit more as we speak...

 

[Bletchleyite]

That really suits that unit. Not surprising that DB Regio colours suit a German EMU though!

As a general one...add a dark grey window band to any livery that hasn't got one provides a guaranteed enhancement.

 

[Bletchleyite]

My "slight change" to the new livery applied to 221 101 would be to obscure the whole thing with a cloud of fog.

I like it. It's the "showroom white" livery on the Pendolinos, particularly the earlier version with no window band, that looks awful.

 

[Bletchleyite]

The 360 frontage would look good on a 185

The 360 front end is about as ugly as the back end of a Leyland Atlantean. The gangwayed version looks much, much nicer, even the pig-ugly LNR "Trebor Mints Packet" livery with the yellow fly catching device on the front. But nobody ever made a 350 look good like Best Impressions for LM - they managed to turn a fairly basic looking 20m South East commuter EMU into the core of their excellent brand.

 

[whhistle]

A bit more than a slight change there...
