Bko mods - mainly road vehicles, occasionally other stuff

Omg! This asset set is so cool! 😍

But what do you mean with "Auto removable"?

So you can use the eraser tool to remove them. But I found that only works if the asset has no capacity and then it can't be adjusted after placement. As I think it's more important to be able to fine-tune the position after placement I'm sticking to these needing manual one-by-one deletion if needed.

The first repaints for the Range Rover, again starting with the simple ones.

PS Feel free to inspire me with more, preferably H0 scale, examples.

Hi dview I just wanted to ask what the current progress of the dealership is. Cause I havent any news about it for a while.

It's in testing and I'm considering still which cars to include. It will take a while till release is ready.

Had a bit of a painting spree today, Dutch and UK police and fire cars are still on the to do list

I started work on the Dutch and British dispatch cars this morning and evening. Although I have more ideas (and there are soooo many UK variants for police cars) I'll now first attend to the asset guide for the base pack, that will probably need more than a one pager

Hi friends, are there any plans for a Chinese police car?

well I guess a Hong Kong Range Rover wouldn't be too far-fetched, so a quick lunch brake repaint got me this.

Is the Chinese writing from Google translate correct for this?

香港警察

Saying "Hong Kong police"

xia so a blue light is closer to reality then, it is still fictive of course

drum roll ...

Coming Soon! Range Rover mk1

this is the base pack, the dispatch and branded vehicles will follow later, they are still WIP

Minor update for the Range Rover, some vehicles were missing the roof bars for roof load with 2 kayaks and ladder selections

Range Rover mk1

I did some modeling agian; the result is a fictive Polizei version of the Range, with a fictive, but less , Westfalia Jupiter horse trailer.

5 civilian horse trailers are getting added to the Range Rover mod, 2 will also be available in a driving configuration.

Just a few last details remain to do

Update for the construction vehicles is now available

Construction equipment - Landscaping vehicle set

This morning I got out of bed early because there is an idea playing around in my mind.

As I'm revisiting my crashtenders and I now know a method to distinct the loading and unloading animations for the trucks I am again considering to include an action for them to spray water, as my initial intend was 4 years back. But to make that somewhat sensible and useful I also need a fire scene. The base idea is to create something alike the airport fire dept. training scene from miniaturwunderland (

In basis I'm thinking it will need to be a double industry as the fire should not be a continues thing, but rather something players can trigger, meaning;

Production 1 should generate the fire, it should only show fire when supplied with e.g. fuel. This seems doable by using the producing animation to show or not the fire, the main challenge is to make a nicely animated fire.

Production 2 should be the extinguishing part, when supplied with e.g. water the first production should get eliminated slowly and black smoke from production 1 should now change gradually into white smoke and reduce in size until the fire is extinguished fully. Here I seem to run into a limitation as an industry has only one producing animation trigger. So I don't see a way yet to have production 2 influence the production 1 animation.

Closest I can think of is to use 2 separate industries on the same position, production 2 can then be used to trigger a producing animation model that is bigger than the animated fire of production 1 to essentially make the fire hidden ...

Ideally though the production 2 effects producing animation of production 1...

Again at this moment it's an idea playing round in my mind, not sure yet if I will start to (try to) make it happen.

If anyone has ideas, tips or tricks how the above can be achieved in a sense-able manner please let know.
