Yes that would would be fun but they are probably all built by now considering you can buy one now: https://viewer.ipaper.io/volvo-trucks-hq/ru/specifications/specialedition/space-edition-big/#/

Some practice with my new pen.

Yes he’s mad, I wish he posted more stuff!

@liamk887 I thought you might enjoy this image of an interesting vehicle that I recently photographed at Logan International Airport in Boston MA USA, while aboard a flight waiting for de-icing prior to departure. The operator is in the upper cab waiting for clearance to approach the aircraft and begin work.

Ah thanks, I always see such unusual Volvo’s at airports, I recently just noticed that the food truck carriers are literally cut in half!
Ill update when i can find amore modern picture

I love it! What did you render or how did you export to get the top one with the shadows and the yellow highlights?

What image are you talking about, the Pacific Rim one?

Yes, the Pacific Rim one

They are just raw exports from sketchup composited in Photoshop. A layer each for shadows, linework and colours.

Haven’t really done anything for fun since January but had some time over the Easter break to make a space truck. SketchUp and Thea, no plugins so far.

Very interesting person.

PS. To find more I think you should use cyrylica because he was from Ukraine
