means that you need to work a bit if you want to build it.

The images were produced with LDLITE and POV-Ray.  I tried to avoid
using unofficial LDraw parts, but there is one: The friction pin with
towball.  I'll post the model to the appropriate dat group when it gets

Fredrik, once again you are showing the way with small town vehicles. The
rendering is an excellent design. My better half is an architectural
illustrator and laments the move to CAD based illustration.

Your combination of photo-realism and schematic drawing is visible in many
modern architectural illustrations and will certainly make a nice desktop
background, if I may aprehend it for those purposes?

Great work!

Cheers,
