Glad you like them dude, not a patch on the Elliott’s ones but still good. The Bransgrove ones are nice too, trailers are uncomplicated the truck is abit more detailed though lol

Agree, really like the Bransgrove on the 4800.

That Bransgrove one has been put on the SCS loading screen if you choose it in the options menu, pretty proud of that;

Sorry for going quiet, real life has required alot of attention. But I am still working on the skins, I'm currently doing the little detail on the yellow bands, first try I was too close to the edge and so I've adjusted them abit further away like real life :)

All good mate, seeing as you do this for free it would be rather rude of people to start with pesting you about when etc. Firm believer in it will get there when it gets there. And congrats on the loading screen, nice to get some recognition from time to time.

Bit more detail added, realised abit of a mistake on the overlap which is now corrected. Then it's just down to the tribal decals and it's done!!

Then onto the K200/T908 and maybe the trailers ;)

Looking good there mate, going to enjoy getting some nice screen shots. Thanks a lot for all the effort, appreciated.

K108 is almost done, tribal logos (as many as I could make out from the picture) are done. Only the cabback bits left to do so all the lines join up and I can release.

Will do the T908 next then the trailers and the K200 last

If I remember I will send you my scroll-work stuff for Photoshop, should help with detail work. If you need some reference shots of any of this stuff let me know and I can shoot up to the yard with my camera. Thanks for doing this, you are making an old truck driver very happy.

You and your shiny paintjobs mate, got me pulled by the rozzers. :P

@PvtStash I've added the K108 to the workshop and made it visible to friends only. Can you download and check it out, let me know if there is anything to change? If not I'll make a start on the rest of it :)

Righto mate, will do. Let you know asap.

Added after 43 minutes 18 seconds:








Looks pretty good to me, can't wait to see the full combo. Very nice job so far mate and as always, thank you.

Will be a different type of skin on the Maxi cube when I get to it.

Looks great, the white scheme is the companies " new " paint. Just guessing, maxicube in the old green scheme? Shit, just occured to me I now have to buy that so I can see the paintjob. Any excuse to buy stuff... Looking forward to seeing the full combo in-game, think it's going to be rather nice.

Yeah, the pictures I have are the K104 pulling the new paint then the Peterbilt pulling the old paint.

Hello PvtStash, would you be able to take a picture of the sun logo please? The ones on the net are too resolution and therefore as you can see on the maxicube it just doesn't look as good as you'd want?

Maxicube is done, now starting on the T908 and then I can release :D

Yup no probs, will do. Will also see if I can get access to some high res logos off the company hard drive and send them as well. Looking sweet there also mate, top job.

T908 has been started, not sure I'll get round to doing the K200 I'm afraid work is about to involve me in some project. It's not a truck related one so going to be boring :(

I'll make sure I get the T908 done before it starts though and then you'll have 2x trucks & trailers.

Also - our Aussie friends, someone mentioned something on steam comments about trucks that pull road trains. I asked why as their statement seemed to be inaccurate to pictures. Unfortunately their response was typical steam user bullshit.

So to improve my own knowledge because I'm interested
-what are the road train laws out of interest? Do they vary by state, and do the rules stop haulage companies using long-hood trucks (like the T908 for example) with road trains?

I've read these two but not sure on their validity;

Thanks in advance.

The rules and regulations do very from state to state and there are also oversize/overmass permits and overall length. It can be difficult when moving something big from one side to the other as you have to check your validity from state to state before you start out. Not all permits are valid state to state etc, there are some federal regs that are the general standard when it comes to overall length/mass but they can be overwritten at state level. It's a confusing mess basically. General rule is 6 ton on steer axle ( some are allowed 6.5 t ) and 16.5 per grouped axle set, so 22.5/23 ton for prime mover. The most common trailer is a tri-axle giving you another 20 ton accross three axles for a GVM of 42.5/43 ton.

Sounds like any other “well though out” government legislation then ;)

Cool so to me it sounds like the steam guy is right but he will just be referring to their state as another state could be more relaxed about length.

Thank you for that, always good to have info to male ingame as realistic as possible :)

No problems there mate, it's a mess but most things the government gets involved in do have a tendency to end up that way. Government, making the simple complicated for centuries. Idjits. :P
