WIP [Archived] Freightliner FS-65

This brings back memories of diesel fumes and hot vinyl seats. Keep up the great work.

 

Rear bumper now attached, and shape should be complete.



Driveshaft now attached


Switch bases positioned


Other minor details modeled ( this won't be openable or open in a crash. but the inside is modeled for variants of this door with a window on them)


Rear lighting finished off


TODO list before texturing (the things that I remember at least)
- Finish front interior, including door and manual door opening mechanism, possibly including bus heater too
- Finish front bumper, and tow hooks.
- Finish engine bay area, and a couple engine parts
--- Post updated ---
BTW. I want to have several "Accessory slots" for modders and myself to use. What I might do is number each switch on the panel, then have a "registry" of what mod uses what switch #. That way mods wouldn't create overlapping switches

 

Hood latch and hood seat

 

These doors were always slightly ajar on my bus. When it rained, we always got a bit wet.

 

And even when they weren’t in their vent position, they leaked anyway, so you got wet regardless.

 

do you still drive buses?

 

I think he was a passenger.

 

Interior: Mirror & visor, emergency door latch
Exterior : Wipers, mirrors now bolted on, crossing arm now attached, fuse box door, fuel door details, tow hook and front bumper attached, and there are finally doors!
Not shown : Left/right splash guards done, hood hinges done, revised hood handle.

if I keep working at this pace I may have this ready for texturing in a couple weeks

 

That looks great. Keep up the good work!

 

is it possible to see if it works in beamng drive?

 

I own one of these! Can't wait to see it when it's finished! And keep up the amazing work!!!! If you ever need any pics for reference.

 

Always spending hours looking for references. I've got someone helping with some already but having more couldn't hurt

 

Why do you own a retired school bus, if you don’t mind me asking?

 

Cause owning a bus is fun or he just wants to own a school bus... There's no point not owning a bus

 

Todo list is just about exhausted. Almost ready for the game

If anyone's curious, here's how it looked back on August 24th 2018, when I just started the new model.

 

I've always wanted one! Wanna make it a fun camping vehicle. Use it for road trips!

 

A lot of people do buy older buses to convert them into home made campers. Some travel all over the country with them and others hibernate in campgrounds or other places. It's a neat idea if you ask me.

 

new model making its way ingame

 

You should bevel some of those sharp edges on the front of the bus.
