WIP '06-'18 ETK Marathon

Hello forum!!!

After starting to work on this mod more than a year ago at this point (although a pretty long break was involved), I believe I've now come far enough to start a thread on here. It should hopefully also motivate me to not go on another hiatus again.

I'm making this since I've always felt like the game was missing a van of this class. You can probably guess what vehicle this is based on

Some pictures:




Everything is modeled from scratch by me of course.

Planned (but not promised):
- Cargo, Passenger and Double Cabin variants
- Facelift/Prefacelift version
- Camper (#vanlife bro....)
- Possibly a heavy duty Chassis Cab variant to be used with upfits (Flatbed, Ambulance, Cargo Box etc...)
- Badge engineered model (like the VW Crafter)
Feel free to suggest something if you have an idea

Aside from the modeling I'm quite new to the other aspects of modding (especially jbeaming), so please don't expect this to be done in a week
Anyways, that should be all for now I think

 

Good timeing! Just picked up ( not my van my dads friends van ) a Sprinter, If you need engine photos i will see what i can do,

 

already looking good

 

Finally a new ETK on forums that looks promising

 

Wow ! A lore friendly Sprinter ? Thats amazing

 

VAN

 

YES PLZ GIMME


(once it's finished)

 

Oooh I litteraly made a reddit post last year because i was searching for a lore friendly sprinter

 

Nice

 

nice!!! mercedes sprinter yaaay question do you change the gauges from etk to real sprinter gauges??

 

one random thing, you are using the circular etk badges which the i series uses, instead of the modern design that the k and 800 uses, i made some badges a while ago that are higher res than vanilla ones, maybe you could use them

Will also these Bus Versions of based on the Sprinter City come?

 

I've been wanting this for years. A gavril rebadge would also be cool.

 

this is nice

 

im west aussie so seeing this kind of vehicle are used as cargo van typically but more importantly used as urban and rural variant ambulances, maybe a consideration?
of late the last 10 yrs partically used and converted into camper vans or motorcycle recovery vehicles.. just a thought.. but well done on the modelling, looks super clean.

 

I NEEEEEED THIS

 

A mod i didn't know i needed or wanted!!!
Surprised i never thought about a previous gen sprinter as a fictional vehicle for BoomiNG

 

Finally, Ive been waiting for a proper eurovan like this. Cant wait to see more progress on this thing.


Little suggestion, maybe an armored body like prosegur bank "trucks" ?

 

This is incredible!! I hope you'll finish it! Don't cancel it =)

We definitely need this

 

Yeeeaassss a sprinter!
