      Hi folks. New to the forum… but have been SU’ing for quite a while. Mostly ‘Sim’ structures.
      However, I finally decided to tackle something difficult. Well, it took several attempts but I finally managed to get all the curved parts of this model to meet (without gaping holes).

      Anyway, thought some of you might enjoy the WIP.

      Have a sparkling day,
      Bob

          Thanx Eric,

          Progressing nicely, although not accurately. That is to say I'm doing this model using the "Mark I Eyeball" only. It's more an exercise in compound curves than anything else. In fact the 'flat' planes are almost non-existent. The back of the sleeper, some areas around the 'cat-walk' and naturally the chassis rails.

          As you can see there is still a bit to go. BTW, the front fenders are not complete, nor properly scaled.

          Anyway... thought y'all might get a kick out of it. Have a sparkling evening.

          Bob

            Truck is looking good Bob. Are going going to add lots of details like trims, lights, wipers, grab bars and steps?

            Regards, Ross

              Thanx Ross,

              Still very much a WIP. The Volvo tends to be an ‘aero’ design. So a lot of your “Peterbilt/Kenworth” type details (air horns, grab-bars, air cleaners, chrome plated ‘anything’) are generally not typical to the 770 model. However I do plan to detail the model (sleeper windows, doors, door latches, lights, wipers, etc). as well as getting it a tad closer to an actual Volvo appearance.

              Meanwhile… here is a recent (last night) WIP render. Thanx again.
