Re: Freedom - Meng Pickup Dio
You nailed the "Lived in" Look! But I wouldn't put that box in the cab! (pers. taste!). The look your cab has now...will peek the viewer's interest! Well done!
Too bad... that printed media "sheet" carries such a "large" Branding Logo! That's a lot of real-estate to waste... They could have cramped that sheet full of stuff? It's good but definitely could have been better, if it carried more prints....
Don't you think? If that LOGO was smaller! Even Verlinden doesn't do that! But again, personal taste!
Keep at her! She is looking the part more and more!

Thanks guys! Very fun project.
Norm, like I mentioned in the post, this isn't the final art layout. Apparently there will be more items added to the sheet to make it of highest value. This is just a mid-production sample to try out. You raise a valid point for sure.

lol ya that is more of a marketing plug than just wasting space, its a new company so they need to get there face on as many screens across teh planet, so haveing big in yer face logos taking up space on a sheet is one way of doing it. and it works because i Want some!

The mesh on the bed rack looks good, would keep whatever is in the back inside the bed.
The whole point of the mesh armor is to break up incoming heat rounds, the mesh, or more modern vehicles like the Stryker, you see the slat or bar armor on, will split the warhead so the copper cone inside the heat round doesn't have a chance to form and burn a hole through the vehicle.
Something like a truck like this...I think although mesh armor would still break up the round, the warhead would probably still have enough energy to at least disable the truck if hit on the front, and would like kill everyone in the truck if it hit somewhere on the cab. Anyone on the back of the truck if it was to hit there on the rack with the mesh would still likely get shredded by the rest of the warhead.
However...the mesh on the rack still looks good, if nothing else, to keep anything and anyone inside the bed/rack from falling out.

Good point of just having it hold stuff. That leads me to only extend the mesh from the box top to that middle bar. Might look cool. I simply like the idea of using some of the PE mesh I have...I think it looks cool, adds some flavor and is neat to beat up.
Now to find some reference for a dash mounted CB Radio.
