What to do next?
Summer is coming up pretty soon, and as you guys may know by now I tend to have a lot more time to mod during summers as school ends and I join the unemployment statistics.
I feel that I will most likely be largely done with the F series by then if everything goes to plan, and hope I can use the summer to gather even more reference for other projects. I will preface this whole poll by saying that I will not be doing any new trucks because I simply do not have that much interest in them. I also refuse to build scanias because I'm not stupid enough to compete with JUseeTV.
This poll is also not something I will 100% promise to abide by, but it will certainly help me decide what to gather reference for during the summer months.

An ATKINSON truck: https://youtu.be/E4uKaPsjEEs
Not realistically possible because I do not live anywhere near a country that has these
I guess should be maximazing variations of FH1 first (ofc with UK-spec don't forget), then you can jump into Iveco Eurostar (also with UK-spec)
It seems like Ralf84 may be doing a eurostar so that may get put on hold from me, but FH1 will take a long time to complete anyway
Its on you what you wanna do man... I love your job and i will still send you my moms money bcs its worth it xDDD... thx Krille for your work :)
How bout another Ovlov? The runt ....F7.. long wheelbase 8 X4 ..pantech or tray(flat deck) as an option... or something like th Kenworth L700 ..COE..yeah,another runt,altho that changed when u shoehorn a Detroit under it!
Both of these are a bit too small for my tastes sadly

Don't worry, it is a truck I want to do at some point
While am agree with your choices i have some suggestions but most of the models are either already done (by multiple authors) or just as WIP but never been released ... You didn't mention a specific period but my guess would be 90's-2000's era ? ( cause going through the 70's might be difficult to find) If so then maybe a Renault C280 (CBH) it's the only one i have in mind cause i know another author who already done some Renault and other brands, like the Major, R series, Saviem and Berliet, Scania 2 and 3 series and also the MAN F8/19.361 ... Your suggestions are good despite having those trucks already existing (that's the issue with so many author doing the same project) but each of them are unique. About the trailers... I'm guessing you would rework the Jumbo? Or create either another model from the same brand or going for another?
Yeah the era I prefer is mainly 90s-2000s. Renault is too hard to find IRL, MAN is quite hard as well for the most part. On future trucks I want to be more hands on with reference than ever and so I have to limit myself to stuff I can find in either scandinavia or Hungary, the two places I'm located in (usually in Sweden during most of the year and Hungary for a couple weeks during the summer). As for the trailers, yeah I could add more things to the jumbo and/or create more oldschool trailers. One of my wishes atm is a 2 axle chemical tanker from communist Hungarian times (Tiszai Vegyi Kombinát trailer) but since I have no reference nor access to one I'd need to buy a 3d model and rebuild that, which I'm in the process of trying to do. Could also do some old scandinavian trailers like BRIAB, those I can atleast find consistently near my home.
Would it be possible for you to do a Scania 141? Due to the fact only 141 there is has not much detail or even an early Daf CF as no one’s really done one yet
Scania 141 could possibly be done but its not something I have much interest in, it's so old that it can barely be found working out in the wild (unlike the trucks I've built so far). As for the early gen CF, these are hard to find and don't seem to be too long haul.

This will hopefully be in progress sometime later yes
It would be great to see some ERF representation in ETS2. As far as I can tell, there isn’t a single mod available that adds an ERF truck.
I do not disagree, HOWEVER I can't afford to travel to the UK just for truck references. The ones listed are all trucks that can be found in either scandinavia or east europe where I'm located
