Okay...so I think I'll go and make the rear thing. Seems easy as its only a box. This will probably replace the Twinkie Truck.

*gasps* Not the Twinkie Truck!!

Why not? I dont think the vanilla fireworks truck was worth keeping.

Oh I thought you meant the snack cake twinkies. *breathes American sigh of relief*

Wut? There is a truck that sells junk food in the US?

[Fred03]

BEHOLD! The Twinkie Truck in all its glory!

Well, I already have a similar truck in my mod. I guess its up to you to skin it into that

BTW, we call that type of cake a "Fudgie Bar" over here. Essentially the same except filled with chocolate.

ah sounds like it'd taste really good

I think a Drink Truck might be cool that International is used alot for that

 

Similar ones have been created already.. 

[itchboy]

Very good. Is that from your mod?

[LAD23DER]

Nice, maybe a fire tanker?

 

I like the fuel one, but maybe one like this...

 

 

 

Just Suggestions

 

I would love to see some sort of tanker script with drafting and a pool for other engine to fill up with

[Fred03]

I like the top one myself, however their is enough variety in tankers/tenders that I'm sure if their is a model of tanker truck out there some resourceful VFD has made it into a tanker/tender.

[freakinfuzzball]

Seems like on the West Coast these smaller, two axle dry side tankers are much more popular and would be a lot easier to make compared to those massive rigs.

 

 

And here's a nice resource for modeling a piece of Pierce apparatus, you can download the blueprints of any truck they make and use it as a template to model from.

Um, I think hes going for civilian vehicles, so that kinda rules out pierce trucks for his current project list...  He would need things like fuel oil tanker trucks and things like that instead of what is wanted for personal mods..  Maybe he'd want to do them when this project is said and done but right now I think it's more productive to try to give him ideas for things that are civilian-use, and preferably have a larger depth of use as opposed to what a specific city uses, or what a fire dept and such uses.

[Fred03]

Valid point.

How about a LPG truck? A common sight in many parts of America.

This. I do like getting suggestions, but I was expecting civil trucks. Not firetrucks. I made the truck models hoping that everyone else would do the work turning them into firetrucks of their choice.

Anyway, I have settled on making the beverage truck and am about to map it. That leaves behind civil truck 12 and the twinkie fireworks truck.

Has an American school bus been done? If not that might be a good option

Buses are planned after I get the trucks out.
I do have something new to show.


This is the first model I ever converted back in 2012. Made by Paradox Interactive from Cities in Motion. Skinned and mapped by me.

Well, I only have two trucks left to replace. One is a light construction truck and another is a delivery truck.

I need to find equivalent replacements for both. Perhaps instead of a delivery truck, something else like what you suggested.
