SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Re: [WIP] Trailmobile SuperVan 90
"umad": It takes a lot of time, that's for sure. All the photos I've found had no mention of the trailer in their caption. It's just a matter of skimming through Ontario/Quebec/Maritime trucking photos of the right time period (1984-1992 seems to be the 'sweet spot') until I spot the SuperVan 90 wordmark. On the bright side, it's fairly easy to spot. It was relatively easy to recreate in Photoshop too, which is good because I still haven't found a useable picture of it. At any rate, it's a fun exercise in detective work.
JESAN: I have a little bit of reference material for Z-Vans. If I can find a complete set of photos (e.g. from an auction) and/or if I can correlate it to a model series (e.g. FG6, FB8, etc) then I might be in good enough shape to make one. ...aaand literally as I was writing this, I figured out that FBZ9 covers it, on an auction page with a full set of photos. I guess I'm committed now.

Thanks a lot Smarty.
Sorry not to be able to help with pictures, I only own a few Athearn, A-line Ho scaled models of this trailer.
They're well detailed but not enough for your purpose

I finished getting all of the defs lined up and did the basic paint job UV map. I also did some more of the lighting equipment. Tomorrow I'll start on the lock rods and hinges and maybe cut in the hinge butts if I get that far.

I'm not great at making Photoshop imitate Illustrator, but if you want some less contemporary looking liveries for the Supervan 90 I made this Sell Goods one a while ago.

Hmm, that's not bad. I'll think about it.

I didn't quite finish the lock bars, but I should be able to wrap that up tomorrow ...err unwrap it technically.

I have a difficult decision: I love how it looks with four lock bars, but I can save ~1000 tri's if I go with two...

Re: [WIP] Trailmobile SuperVan 90
I agreed to your thinking on the Facebook post about having 2 bars for the sliding axle version and 4 bars for the tri-axle. Also, I saw your most recent photo upload and it looks like it's coming along really nicely in-sim!

+1 for 2 bars on the tandem, 4 on the tri-axle.
