Getting abit into this now, like my skinning when I started it was all hard. Now I have abit more skill so I'm enjoying it, that will stop when I hit the next snag lol...

5th wheel almost complete and can go on the chassis!

Costly mistake I'm sure seasoned users of blender will note, make sure everything lines up before cutting mesh objects...

Because then you realise you have to move the 5th wheel back to match the picture, but you've already done some cuts to it!

then I swapped the end holders on the suspension so they are the correct way round!

Finally I need to completely redo a couple of parts of my truck in blender Really annoying I didn't realise but when I group them together I end up with bits missing, I've tried changing the normals (which is what I think is the problem) but to no avail, so that's this weekend's job...

Still it's all learning and progress!

Also in ets2 I am loosing trailers from the freight market, I have jazzy's trailer's & cargo and the euro companies mod but they haven't been updated and it's only seem to have started happening when I hit level 100 has anyone had this before and is there a thread on it please?

Also, have got my 5th wheel down to 2 components and I've started fixing the suspension but that's going to have to be a few more parts due to it being so complex

Was thinking of putting the real names on this one and putting it on steam, but what do people think of the cogs? I'm not sure I've done them well enough, opinions on a postcard.

If not there are some non-cog versions I could do;
