The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Can't believe it's literally been about 100 pages since I started this (went and looked, pg57)... I felt like making the stock bed so I had to add some non-dually rims.

Whats up with the front right tyre sidewall? Weird shadow or something else?

Some shadow thing yeah, tire shader gets get weird shadows.

... most of the outer bed

Fast-moving truck meets wedge-shaped object... (temp brakelight texture, haven't found any even remotely good photos to use yet)

All the cool kids are doing that animated wing thing now so I might make a wing that puts the tailgate down... from what I recall of mythbusters that doesn't improve drag though.

This is starting to look uncomfortably like a page from the Rigs of Rods / Beam NG forum

That's the previous bodystyle (this one's a '77)

Lol, just found this:

Would have been helpful if this info was available before I made it! Turns out the real thing is around 8.5% larger, so I can't not fix it. In theory it should be a tiny bit more stable to drive too.

Either of these work?

 

[Stereo]

Yeah, that's good, thanks. (tiny invisible changes so far today other than the light, but should be able to finish it off & release it tonight, by which I mean like 4am tomorrow probably)

Surely one of the best bonnet scoops in the business?

So tempting to do a trim level where the 'FORD' isn't part of the sheetmetal. Just gotta do the backside of the tailgate, then the bumper, then a round of baking and it should be good to go.

Very nice. Could you add 40 years of use and abuse to the paintwork too?

S1 physics basically sorted, original car adjusted accordingly. Getting close.

Not really my area of expertise, maybe @soverlands can expand his rusty texture pack though.

Uploading... 4am wasn't so far wrong heh. Now you too can get stuck behind a pickup truck on Tajo, BCC etc.

Some really clean surfaces, a joy to model.
