Did anyone ever make 3D models of the SR vehicles, and if so where
are they and what did you/they/he/she use to make them?

Thanks,

Blackjack has some 3D models of vehicles (new vehicles, not FASA
vehicles.). I don't recall what his web addy is but you can access it
through the SR Web Ring (which you can access through the Deep
Ressonance: http://shadowrun.html.com/ ).

I forgot to say that I think Blackjack used Rhino to do up his 3D
renderings.

According to Martin Steffens, at 19:28 on 31 Jan 99, the word on
the street was...

If you're talking about model _kits_, Ral Partha makes a DocWagon
ambulance which is a nice enough kit, if a bit expensive (US$15.95 it cost
me), but that' the only one I know of. It could reasonably easily be
modified into other Ares Master-series vehicles, mostly by altering the
front end a bit. It's on the small side, though, especially since it's
supposed to be an ambulance/truck-type vehicle.

RP also do some motorcycles (which are in figure sets, not sold
separately) and a "heavy trike" which is actually a five-wheeler and not
based on any SR vehicle I know of.

As for other vehicles, you could just use generic 25 mm vehicles from, for
example, Grendel or Ground Zero Games -- I've got some kind of gang buggy
and a hover tank from Grendel and an 8-wheeled internal security vehicle
from GZG that work well for SR.

Scratchbuilding the complex curves of a typical SR vehicle is not
something I want to even attempt, though :)

OTOH if you were talking about computer models, I don't know of any and
don't feel up to producing them either, especially not with the software
I've got access to (i.e. hardly anything in the way of 3D stuff).

Thanks everyone for your help. I forgot to mention it in the original
post, but I was indeed looking for 3D computer models of R2 RBB
vehicles. I had some useful leads and found a few interesting sites.
