Balkancar Electric Forklift

I used to walk around my workplace admiring a wonderful and old forklift that had been in production for about thirty-three years, if I'm not mistaken. Recently, the idea struck me: why not model this old-timer in GTA SA? And so it happened; I worked on it for three days, about two hours a day, and that was all the way to the conversion.

Let me outline the model and all its features. The model is good; I tried to convey every little detail and every bolt. I wouldn't say modeling was difficult, but it was challenging to capture all the details and proportions of the forklift because I modeled it not from a blueprint but from real photos I took myself. The texture is not HD, but it's not bad either; I made it with a 2.0 pixel phone camera, and I personally liked it; it could have been worse. As for the collision (col), I made it myself, and it seems to have turned out well. The standard shadow didn't fit at all, so I decided to create one as well, adding every little detail and lever, which I think turned out pretty well. In fact, I created all the details from scratch.

One downside is that the character's hands don't reach the steering wheel since the American forklift and our Soviet one differ in many ways. I have a lot more to say, but I'll stop here because the mod is what matters, not my chatter.

Let's comment and, of course, rate it.
