BASIC DESCRIPTION

My sixth scratch-built project...my, how the time flys! I thought I'd try to do a pickup truck, since the shape lends itself well to quick and easy modeling, but modeling the inside of the bed still presented a formidable challenge. There are tons of extras too - modeled axles, 3D brakes that turn with the wheels, modeled oval Ford logos on the grille and tailgate, and a partial exhaust system. Enjoy the three colors - I must note that I'm not a UNC fan, I just thought the Carolina Blue name was appropriate for the light blue hue I chose! The tuning and handling are designed to be relatively realistic.

FOOTNOTES

- The exhaust pipe intersects with the rear axle underneath the truck - d'oh! I didn't want to bother with the hassle of modeling the pipe to go around the axle, and plus it's not like you see the bottom of the truck when you're driving anyhow...

- There are a few places where you'll get kinda weird shading at certain angles, especially on the front bed wall and the side windows.
