    Hmmm. CRC... the Columbia River Conservancy?

    Nope, bummer ;) It's from a Japanese anime!

    looks pretty solid to me. Does the cab have one axle? What anime is it from?

    The best one;)

    It's a sinister, government agency truck from one of my all time favourite movies (depending on the particular dub).... I recognised it from the thumbnail, but i won't spoil the fun... Seriously no one else knows what its from?

    I'll give another clue - the movie is better known for a particularly iconic motorbike design...

    Coolhand gets the cookie :thumb: Tried to find additional images on the 'web but I had to rely on screenshots I made myself. No spoiling here just yet, guess away guys 'n gals :D

    Any idea what CRC actually stands for, Coolhand?

    I like the truck so far, but I don't watch anime, so I won't even try to guess.

    Without googling it, the only anime I remember that had a cool bike was G-Force, but that was a series. The bike from Akira is very iconic.

    Ghehehehe, yeah, it's from Akira. Just had another, painstakingly slow-mo review of the abduction scene. Turns out that the cab's wheels are actually able to steer as well. It looks weird, though, so I'll probalby skip that part. Almost done with it, I'll have some renders for you guys tomorrow!

    By the by, did anyone notice that Kaneda loses a tooth thanks to that Evil Bodyguard throwing him away? I only noticed during slow-mo :shiner:

    As promised, here are the renders. The whole idea of this truck was for me to flex my muscles a bit and to upload another model to SketchUp's 3DWarehouse. As such, you can now find it there by following the link in my sig. Enjoy kidnapping your psychic kids with this robust vehicle :D
