FZE's Car; Sort of

Not the one used in FZE and Mythos' Badass Adventure, that one's just a prop for when superfluous badassity is needed.

No, THIS is FZE's car.

The Swedish among you will immediately recognize this as a Volvo 850 T-5R Estate modified to accept armor plated windows and infrared imaging devices for augmented reality driving within the best protection money can buy.

THIS is FZE's REAL car. It's LESS GOOD in some ways.

THIS is why FZE's car doesn't drive any more.

My vehicle protected me many times better than the welding accident I drive now would have, and it gave its own life to preserve my own.
So thanks, Sweden.

But 2 weeks or so from now, FZE's car will drive again, even if the laws of nature insist it should not. In celebration, I've finally made a version for Source. After countless attempts at modeling the thing myself, I came upon Volvo - The Game, which included the car, and ported the model myself, with the appropriate augmentations and new textures.

Also, I've got 16 days left on the trial for the program I'm using to convert the ridiculous models to a usable format, so if there's a Volvo or anything from the STCC - The Game cars list the you'd like ported for Source, let me know.

I reckon on it needs a mounted machine gun but that isn't too conspicuous

You know it did originally have a quartet of autocannons peeking out of the gaps in the air dam in front, but there were arguments over which texture would be visible when you looked at them and they ended up being dimensional windows to the other side of the car when you looked down the barrel. I'll see about getting that resolved.

EDIT: Now we ams talkings

Machineguns mean it probably won't ever appear in a series I'm planning. >>

One question: Is it a reskin port from STCC? Or did you actually model it?

It's a port from Volvo - The Game if you're going to have to credit it.

I just might; seeing as the game's freeware, there's no trouble, but I'd rather have the credit someplace, if I use it for a comic series.
