Description
Yep, that truck needs trailers. At least two I think; this one and some kind of flatbed. I am contemplating making the flatbed rather than buying it, as the wheels would be the most complicated part and the existing trailer or truck could provide those.
The UV mapping on the shell of this was not a long process, naturally enough. If I couldn't UV map a box properly I would find it embarrassing since I lectured on UV mapping at the Google Campus in London at one time.
This kind of trailer became popular with many moving services in the 1950s and 1960s and is still used by some to this day.

Very well done!
Thanks, but as I wrote, a box is not a hard UV mapping job. I was actually annoyed that I had to UV map the trailer as a purchased model should be already UV mapped...
A fine looking trailer - it would look great with 'Staticon' in large letters on the sides. :-D
To be absolutely honest, I've no idea what UV mapping is as I am just an enthusiastic amateur with digital art. And I still haven't mastered Blender after several attempts - that is why I'm still using Bryce. It is so easy to use and I am old and lazy. :-)
If you want to get a grip on Blender go to YouTube and search for Blender Guru's donut tutorial series. It is a brilliant Blender beginners tutorial video series that starts people off in an ingenious manner by modelling, UV Mapping, texturing and then lighting and rendering a donut. It sounds trivial but the creator has managed to incorporate a lot of different aspects of Blender into it, without making it horribly complex. A lot of people have used that series (which may also include the entire thing in one video as an option) to get started in Blender. One of the advantages to using YouTube tutorials is you can pause and rewind whenever you need to.
Hope that helps, and good luck with your 3D whether you try it or not.
