You must forgive some of the details as this is a modification to an existing model. I had to make the doors and the alpine windows, stretch the chassis and body, etc. It's more of a concept sketch than anything. Mainly wanted to see what the gas strut rear door would look like (it's only open halfway in these views). The rear tub would be a challenge, as well as the extended roof.

Cool. Did you do this in sketchup?

3D Studio Max with Final Render plug in. Model is from Digimation. I made all the materials and paint.

Very nice. I'm a bit dumb when it comes to this 3D modeling stuff. I made a half hearted attempt to model my trailer and just didn't have the patience to learn sketchup well enough to do anything more meaningful than hack up an existing model a bit. One day..

Thats very cool. Do you do a lot of 3D modeling?

These are fairly common in Europe, I think Foley Special Vehicles builds them. I believe they modify the tub from a 110 3 door.

110 utility rear tub grafted behind a regular 110 5 door setup,110 van sides with a window cut in. The roof is the hard part.
Stuart @ Foleys is great to deal with. Give him a ring-he can cure your itch.

Yup, that's what they pay me for.

that stuff amazes me. I'm surrounded by pods of CAD people blazing stuff out and i wouldnt have the slightest idea how to use that software

Can you do my truck with the full roll cage but with a pickup cab?
