    Post Thomas Built Buses: Saf-T-Liner MVP EF School Bus (Conversion of PR116)

    PLEASE READ:
    I am converting the PR116 Bus into a Thomas Saf-T-Liner MVP EF School Bus, I am not sure the year when the model that I am using came out, it should be 1997 or 2002.
    I have A LOT of experience with editing skins, so I have decided to do this.
    First off I do have permission from the PR116 maker (Renault Bird) to convert this.
    Second, it is not a mesh, so don't be expecting something like the TC2000 that was posted, sorry :S.
    I do welcome any help and if anyone does have a mesh for this school bus, I will be glad to use it.
    I have probably about a month's work in it, I started in November and just slowly progressed in the conversion.
    -------------------------
    -------------------------
    The Bus will have a Cummins 5.9 Liter Engine in it. It will have an air horn and arrow turning signals. There will be warning light indicators, it actually already has, I just need to change some pictures around. Once again any help is welcome and I will add more to this post as the project progresses.
    ------------------------
    ------------------------
    Screenshots:
    (Please note that these pictures are the beginning stages of the bus, the front will look totally different and this bus will look totally different also THESE ARE ONLY THE EARLY STAGES)

    Roof should be more curved, and I'd also suggest adding bumpers.

    Although this isn't the new style EF, here are some good photos of the tail-light and roof configuration of the actual EF.

    (note that bus has a lit destination sign.. lighted SCHOOL BUS.. not all states order theses)

    I am using the Renault PR116 for now until I actually am able to finish making the mesh.

    This bus will have 1 stop sign but we'll see if I'll put two

    Yes, I will add bumpers in the mesh, I will take some pictures and upload the mesh pic to here.

    Sure, I will make that with the mesh.

    That is better than the one he has now. The one you have isn't to 'squarish'. Thus his is like a shoe box with wheels and a skin that can be used in RoR.
