This is my latest truck. I used a toy model to help me. I'm very pleased with it. Tell me what you think.

Low vert count, good shape, first scratch built... I'd have to say very well done indeed.

Well, you asked for what I think.

Good job on making a truck, it isn't the easiest thing to do.

The model seems to generally fit, and it rides fairly decent.

The bad

on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being good looking, and 1 being puke on wheels. its about a 2 or 3.

Now thats just my thought. but I think its just hidious lol. And its not about the low vert count etc. But, a green truck? an ugly green yet. Then a white roof that look slike a tarp. Then to top it off, oddly blue windshields. Colour scheme wise it looks like a bunch of boxes. The front grill, the windows etc.

Constructive critisim:

Sorry for being kind of mean about it.
if you put some sort of darkend border around the windows, it would make them seem more like glass and less like a horrid paint job.
The frotn grill, I got no ideas. just round out the edges maybe, and see how it looks. I know your trying to make a replica so I wont complain about ur colours and decals. I've never seen the original truck so I can't compare.

Good work none the less. Can never have to many trucks, oh wait, 99 is the limit, darn. Someone should fix that lol.

:DI'm still smiling!!! Stuff like thats good!!

I will have a fiddle with the textures today and if I think it improves it, which i'm sure it will, I will upload a fixed version later today.

OK I've just uploaded a fixed version with different colour windows with a small dark border around them and changed the front grill. Phin could you please disable the old one?

Here it is:

I have also just uploaded my first repaint: Pez candy truck. It's completely fictional but I collect pez so I thought I would make a pez truck. Some of that "constructive criticisism would be good"
