[WIP] GMC General

[dault3883]

when was the last time we actually heard from smarty about this trucks progress?

He has a lot of arms in the fire but nothing ever gets released. Not that I have ever seen..

A good mod takes time guys. Complaning about progress is not very motivating.

Just have patience and nice things will appear:

I've definitely still been working on it; It just doesn't look a whole lot different. Most of my progress has been on chassis details, the luber-finer (which I imagine most of you have seen on the Pete 350), and artwork for the air inlet and the fender badge.

...and I may have also been doing some work on a parallel project.

Quote removed - Don't quote images/code boxes - Rule 2.3

im not compaining just being realistic this thread has been open for a couple of years now and even his website where he shows progress of mods this truck has been stuck at 20% for at least a year and a half

i hope it eventually comes out but it wouldnt be wise to hold your breath on it as @TexasWhirlwind said he has a lot of projects going but not much ever gets released

we havent seen much progress out of anything since he started helping out on promods canada with signage

I haven't been particularly productive with ProMods in some time either, if that makes you feel any better. You'll find a much stronger correlation with when I returned to working full-time last October. It's amazing how productive you can be on personal projects when you only work ~30hrs per week. Alas, this world runs on money, and so I now spend 42-50 hours a week engaged in the highly fulfilling practice of palletizing heavy things in -20°C. I do still spend the majority of my free time working on mods – it's just that often only really amounts to a couple half-hour chunks per day. If anyone is frustrated with the lack of progress, it's me.

The General is somewhat on hold for a little while. It's a big project. Like, a biiiiiig project. I'm still picking away at it, a little at a time, but I'm trying to focus on some of my smaller projects so I stand some chance of releasing something new this year. Technically, the Scot A2HD v2 was like 60% brand new content, and I've added quite a bit over the year. Ditto for the Fontaine Phantom and Trailmobile SuperVan 90 ownable updates. You may notice I've put quite some work into the Peterbilt 350, and GMC Crackerbox lately; They're each a little more bite-sized as scope goes. I'm hopeful I'll at least be able to seal the deal on a new trailer by the end of the year.

Smarty - thank you for the reply. We all get anxious some times and forget that we all have to work to pay the bills (although most of us wish that were different...). Have said it before - your stuff is outstanding and high quality and worth the wait. Gives us all something nice to look forward to...

GMC Crackerbox?? I hope that at my age I'll be alive to see that one! Those are from my era. lol

[DAFmanXFE6]

Good update Smarty, using your trailers a lot in my game and they fit just right. At least you don’t look back at your work and have to redo, my Astro95 needs the cab and chassis redoing , then it’s back to the interior lol
