Someone who could build a simple asset for me?

Oh, but all models can coexist !
I tried to do something different, I'm used to making rolling stock and buildings ... cars are quite different and new to me. All about the images that Jules22 included, which I understood was the vehicle he wanted.
I've been at it for a couple of hours, extruding vertices with the image to guidance and then Extrude polys in groups ... seems to work.

@jules22 - What version of Trainz do you have?

 

[afe_uy]

Painting a bit ... refining fender and roof. Testing wheels.

Hope this project can work out 'cos I grew up with Mr Whippy and I love these vans!

Will it be useful to you? I'll try to make it as decent as possible ...

Working for a while this afternoon ...

Some repaints , ready to cut the front grill and windows ...

Those models are very nice. The one without the grill looks like an old cast metal toy.

Funny you should mention that. I have just been watching a series of videos called rescue and restore where they take old rusted metal toys and restore them like new. I would love to do stuff like that, but I don't have the sandblasters, the airless paint sprayers, and all the tools they use to do it. Great stuff though!

Ready to trim the grill ... Window frames placed and some details corrected.

Still remember my old Matchbox collection ... also some Corgis. Majorette didn't exist yet.

I've seen that being done. My brother has some of those tools and mentioned doing that someday. I'll let him do it because I hate to say what kind of condition the old toy will end up in after I get my hands on it.

Cold and rainy Sunday ... nice day to deal with Blender.

Wow...beautiful. Almost too beautiful for a "fill in" asset. I chuckled when I thought how this thread evolved from "can someone make me a "SIMPLE" asset...LOL

You know, initially going to keep it simple, but as the shapes got more complicated it was easier to redo each part and in the end simplify everything.
But, as I mentioned before, I hadn't gotten into vehicles yet and it was also a good excuse to get back into Trainz and Blender ... I haven't done much since January, I guess due to lack of motivation. As say, the perfect excuse and an opportunity to try new techniques.
Anyway, it's going to be a nice and cute van...

Any chance of a plain sided van as well that could be reskinned into various company colours?

Thanks John
