    Default Melroe M-880 Prime Mover

    You might already have seen it in the development screens thread, but I thought to make a new thread for this vehicle as well
    As the title says, it is a Melroe M-880 (former dozer), that was rebuild into a prime mover for heavy haulage.
    Like the real thing, it features skid steering and has no suspension except the tires.
    Cooling fans and levers for steering are animated, it also has custom sounds.
    I have to fix some minor bugs, like hitches are not working and have to placed better and flares are not working corretly, either.
    Tell me what you think I might as well build a fitting heavy haul trailer if people want.
    Now some screenshots

    I'd like the dozer version aswell, just to have the original feel
    If you wanna follow my modeling type http://two66.com/render_##.png replace the ## with numbers.

    Have a nice day!

    Thank you very very much for the feedback so far
    By the way it has around 13000 triangular polys for the main model and some more for wheels and fans, but I think thats pretty okay
    The front ends do also have a contactable submesh, for those who want to crash cars with this...
    As I see people seem to be interested in this, I already started with the N/B of the trailer, it is a Goldhofer THP modular trailer with a skidding frame, more information later
    EDIT: Hm not sure if I will do the dozer version as well... First of all finish the heavy hauler

    How much bigger is the mover compared to other flatbed trailers?
