    INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR

    I have an interest in old semi trucks and found BP here on the site and have started making my first post worthy model (hopefully) It is being modeled in Sketchup. I have a ton of reference pics and will be adding "modern upgrades" to is such as a longer frame, chicken lights, cummins ISX engine, and on and on.... The truck is from the mid '70s. I plan on making a 48' or 53' trailer to tag along behind it.

    That looks great. I like the sketch style. Sometime nicer than those realistic renderings. Keep it up

    That would be cool to see someone rendering with blender. This prog is free and you can do alot with it. But you do not often see renderings of it.

    I like the second style of the fender. The wheels are looking more impressive with it.

    Really nice work I once tried sketch up and wasnt for me. Looks good but can i suggest th holes in the wheels a little smaller apart from that nice color choice.

    @ jackwilby, thnx for the feedback. ive found sketchup to be the easiest to use. the wheels have been messed with the wheels a lil more, just havent posted them here yet. as for the colors, i like the orange and white but havent decided to stick to them, will decide after i figure out the stripe configuration.
