bluebeetle wrote:okay i have a incredible noob question, where can i get a blank trailer template with no logos on it.
well... you can google "trailer scale drawings" is my first guess. you might also get a good result with searching for "skins" or "textures" im not sure. I usually make my own.

How to make your own:
if needed, they desaturate the image first to make it black and white.
then selelct the area that they want blanked with the selection tool then do a "fill" with the color they want.

another option is to select a clean area, and then pull the edge across the skin or select a clean area and copy and past over and over as needed.

I posted one that lego "blanked" from the contest trailer. it has a combination of all 3 methods. it did loose the rivet detail but that is better for people that want to put "ribs" on it.


The more I look at the Master I posted. the moer i see it was not the easiest skin to paint.

I should have a made a new one so the front, back sides and top were to scale and in line with eachother for anyone that wanted to put a strip around it. sort of like a paper bus model.

Learning experience, but fun! I chose Knight since we build a lot of trucks for them and it wasn't jumping off the deep end for a first timer. I still suck!

O yeah, just one is painfull, but at other hand it makes you think better what to make and gives you time to make it, took me 5 hours to draw. Cant wait till sunday for next lol.

@ lighthouse, you have your side images of the trailor fliped, look at the front bulkhead visable. But nice trailor.

May the force be with you.
For little boys, three things reign as supreme attention-keepers: tanks, heavy construction equipment, and trains, we all know why where here.

I have no issue with that. The submissions are still open, just change out your other one.

@ Martin.

I almost made a Pisswasser boxcar a while back. I would suggest you change the side logo's tho. In lomo it wont show up at all.

In the Zip was an example added + a tips sheet. In the text and on the example where arrows placed what should be the front off the trailer.

When it is wrong what i did, i´m happy to change it.

Screen added.

Err did i get it backwards?

on the UPS sample you can see the curves to the front of the trailer.



EDIT**

son of a $@@424 ... Yup. Zimmlock is right. of the 2 samples I had. 1 is top is front... and the other bottom is front...

I knew I wanted to make my own template...
dont sweat it for now. once we pick the winner.
I have not textured the model to this skin anyways.... i can flip them on the model when i texture it.
or... we can change the image if it has bulkheads and doorframes on it.

The indecations on the example are correct, unfortunatly is the example not the same as the template trailer.
You are not the only one who made that mistake, but on the side view you can see a part of the grey steel front bulkhead, that part has to be on the right side that is indecated as front. On the second side view it has to be on the left, i presume many artists cut flipped and pasted the first drawn view, and added text later, thats why this error occured.
