Description

So, this is my first time actually building a sprite completely from scratch. I saw the Brawn truck by Pan-Chemlon , and saw that he'd had some trouble finding good pictures of the trailer. I wanted to use a trailer, so I drew one, working off some pics I found on the internet.

I also drew the flatbed (unsure if it's a 'canon' model or not), basing it off of this 3D model I found on Sketchup:

3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model…

I made two versions of each trailer, one with the fender skirt on the trailer and one with it removed. They're not perfect, I don't feel like I got them quite right, but you're free to use them as you please--just please credit me, it took me a lot of work and time to put these together after all. I haven't colored them, mainly because I'm not nearly as good at making them pretty like Pan is, but it should also help you apply your own paint schemes.

I put a connected version of each trailer with Pan's tractor up top so you can see what they look like hooked up, and all you need to do to convert one of the freestanding trailers to put on a truck is delete the trailer jack legs, cut off all but the top two pixels of the trailer kingpin, then center it on the 5th wheel of the tractor. I put a simplistic air/electrical connection across on the connected ones (and left a set of premade hoses for the van trailer you can use), but I'm sure you can come up with a far more elegant solution then I did.

Thanks for looking, and please do leave a comment. I'd love to hear what you think, and would enjoy to see what you do with my little MS Paint workup.
