back in the day i created a Mantis Track Crane, and well its floating around somewhere... I have done a few mods since being back.. but this is my latest project that I am working on Mantis Crane v2.. I downloaded Ivan's Fontaine Lowboy with excavator from DieselDog's Site who converted this trailer & load from Ivan's Cali Haulin pack.. so I got to thinking about some of my old Mods that I have lost over the last couple yrs and wanted to start fresh with new ones I will be taking the excavator.PSM model and using the cab, main body, and tracks, and then I will put the finished project back onto Ivan's Fontaine Lowboy chain it down, kick the tires an call it done...

Here it is,,, Mantis Track Crane v2 this is a 1020 model 30Ton extendable boom track crane... Original SCS model of the excavator re-edited from Ivan's fontaine lowboy that was converted from Ivan's Cali Haulin Map by DieselDog.. Credits: Ivan - Fontaine lowboy SCS - excavator ( edited & modded to the Mantis Crane ) Me - taken the body of the SCS excavator and editing the cab, body, & tracks. details added from scratch: ( on the Mantis Crane ) Boom, hydraulic piston, hydraulic hoses, cables, winches, exhaust, engine grills, spot lights, cable block & hook, cable-hook on front of the track body, extra chain loops added from Ivan's lowboy on front & back of track-body. Details done to Ivan's lowboy: the side riggings were edited and brought out to support Out-rigger pads to support the widen tracks on the crane.. 2-pole Flags, chains, binders made from scratch... the tracks use the original DDS. for the excavator re-UVMapped the Mantis Crane body & detailed parts with a new DDS. this Mod is not too high poly but may lag on slower computers with only 1gig of Ram & low Ram GPU chip-sets Download FileFront ~~> www.gamefront.com/files/23195322/lb_Mantis_v2_1020Crane.zipDownload 4Share ~~> www.gamefront.com/files/23195322/lb_Mantis_v2_1020Crane.zip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also a Static Map Model for the experience Map editors Boom was extended and raised 45*, body was rotated 45* on the tracks to give realism.. PSM.file is completely UVMapped & unlocked for convertors you can download this mod from my site.. Enjoy Truckers

That is lovely! And releasing a version for map editing will save some time. Think we may have to add it to a depot, when we get round to it!

lol... this is the second mod I have done since being back into the game... the first mod is a 2008 pneumatic dry bulk hauler... it is alittle long though, I didn't use anything for a lenght scale.. i just started creating & throwing polys around everything on this trailer is made from scratch except the fenders.. the only problem that I have is trying not to make anything too high poly.. so others can enjoy the mods

Think I see an animated version in my future, at a few depots movin stuff round The bulk's lookin sweet too. Keep it up man. As for the poly count. well... Ya could make a high poly model, then make a low poly version, with half removed. just an idea

hehehe that's where I'm at with the wally-mo. infact was just talkin bout that with outlaw. the wally-mo has no release date yet. it's something I'm workin on between projects. since I use it every day I want it to be exact, but within reason. still have to add support arms to both rear decks, and bay 1 (the angled one up front) as well as hydraulics to bay 1. some chains to hold em down, as well as new, fresher cars. it's a true project. lol As for the AA, in comparison, it's done. Just gotta do the interior. I can release "packs" later on to add things such as opening doors and hood, or something like outlaw's version ;D Ahh! too many variants, too many voices! lol I feel your pain lol
