Model More Vehicles

[FGD5]

Hello!
I'm a amateur modeller who likes modelling vehicles. Recently I've been interested in making a pack of vehicles for TF2 since it's lacking in that department. There are lots of great custom vehicle models and I want to give mappers more to choose from.

So, I want to know what kind of vehicles people want. Currently I have the following planned;

Station Wagon
Firetruck
Jeep Gladiator
Icebreaker

I would be interested in any requests for the collection. I am one person doing this, so I can't guarantee to do every request and I can't guarantee it'll be done quickly, but if you're interested let me know!

I would like to see a Nash Metropolitan and maybe a wagon variant

I would love to see the F-15 and the Rafale jets.

Spoiler: F-15

I like this one, its pretty weird looking. Definitely will be doing it.

I'm interested in doing a jet, however I want the models I do to fit in with TF2's timeline. The F-15 apparently had its first flight in 1972, and 1972 is the latest year mentioned on the TF2wiki, so its possible to do that one. The Rafale's first flight was 1986, so I think its a bit too modern for TF2. If there's any other jets you're interested in from the 1960s or similar time period I'll definitely consider.

I have a European Union Tiger Attack helicopter done in 3D studio max if you want it < made it for a school project back in the day.

I know I already suggested the Gladiator but since your taking this idea and running with it, it'd be neat to finally see some of the unfinished or unused concept art vehicles come to light. Stuff like the spytech camper, crane, and old truck design. Maybe even some stuff from the comics like the large snow plow.

So is that the same Firetruck you started working on when I suggested/requested one? How are you getting on with that?

I would also love seeing that truck on the spire recreated.

The same one. I got a bit stuck on it and lost inspiration on it. I'd rather not put out a model with half effort in it so I shelved it for a bit, but I'm defiantly in finishing it, especially since its already mostly done.

I like the camper, snowplow and crane. I think I'll look into those ones. The other designs are cool but kinda similar to what we already have. If I have the time I might get round to them but firstly I'd focus on vehicles that aren't in game at all.

It'd be interesting to see! Don't know if it'll make it into the pack cause I'm making vehicles that fit in the time period but id love to have a look.

Could do that one aswell as the truck behind the fence, it wouldn't be exact, more like my interpretation of it.

The A-10 is another one I would enjoy to use in a map. War-face mandatory.

Spoiler: A10

I actually had an idea for another tank in mind as well.

Spoiler: Leopard

It'd love to see a Tank-Train like this on Frontier-style Payload maps.

I'm surprised by all the different requests already! Lots of different vehicles. Here's a list of what I'll be working on, this could change of course and more could be added

- Station Wagon (model done, textures nearly done)
- Asian Truck (model started)
- Firetruck (model needs reworking)
- Snowplough (model started)
- Icebreaker (??? Might be too big)
- Nash Metropolitan
- Jeep Gladiator
- Concept Caravan
- Concept crane/demolition crane
- concept pickup truck
- concept truck + trailer
- Chinook (model started)
- Leopard Tank
- F-15 or A10 fighter jet
- possible tank train, need some sort of concept for that one

All in a variety of vehicles. I'm going to try and get them done to the best of my abilities, any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

- Chinook (model started)

haha, no way! I was considering requesting it but decided not to, and then you do it anyway, fantastic.

 

[FGD5]

Here's a few of the vehicles already started, some are from months ago, some are very just started. Still a WIP so they might change a bit, other than the station wagon which is pretty much done except for final texture work and LODs. I'm wondering whether I should release each model individually or if they should all be in one download? What do you guys think?

I think that just releasing them as a single pack would be better - it's always nice having related models collected together (and you can always update the pack to add new models if you release it partly done)

How have I never seen this post before the prop pack was made? I was also really wanting to make TF2 style vehicle props but they turned out really crappy, I really admire your work, if you are still taking suggestions, I always have wanted to see a 1960 Chevrolet Suburban!

That's certainly a interesting car, I will probably have a go at that at some point!

I am not forcing you and you don't need to add any of these in, but I figured I'd put a list of vehicles because I have nothing else to do in life and maybe you'll get some ideas (Once again, this is all up to you and I understand that these models take time, dedication and lots of effort to make).

- 1972 Ford Pinto
- 1970 Chevrolet Vega
- E-Z-Go Royal Ride
- 1970 GAZ Volga 21
- 1982 VAZ 2103
- 1976 MG Midget
- 1976 Chevrolet Chevette
- 1975 AMC Pacer
- 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Sedan
- 1970 Ford F-150
- 1971 Plymouth Valiant
- 1983 SMZ S-3D
- 1964 ZIL 130
- 1970 Lincoln Continental
- 1950 Ford Deluxe
- 1950 DeSoto Custom
- 1964 Dodge A100
- 1964 Dodge Dart

Okay, I'll shut up now.

Aha wow, that's quite the list! It would be hard to do them all, especially since Ive already made it hard enough by deciding to do so many, but there's a few on there I deffo like, the Ford Deluxe, Lincoln Continental and Dodge Dart really appeal to me. I'm going to keep this list in mind if I want any more cars. I also did think about some Eastern European vehicles such as the Lada and Trabant could be cool, so some of those eastern vehicles on the list could show up aswell.
