thingiverse

Based on a series of Sandmann universal chassis/frame based vehiclesPU-474, PU 484, PU 485 started app. 1973Initially my design of this vehicle shared the same design I have used anyway on the later made snow plower https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6561535.Bit I did not like the much prismatic design, it has been changed in to that used on the street cleaner.Probably the PU-474 started a new design concept on the small service cars.That was the new rectangled/prismatic style instead of the 1950's / 1960's everything round shaped design.This new design can be found on many more cars.PU-301 blue/white concrete transporterPU-350 blue/white semi truck w standard size container on trailerPU-404 blue/white library on wheelsPU-601 orange small contrete transporter & mixer vehiclePU-684 blue/orange Servicewagen Multicar M24 style (less prismatic shape)PU-xxx beige first medical aid car Multicar M24 stylePU-702 blue small transporter Multicar M25The PU-585 on video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0h-lqOPlWUThe PU-474 on video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPebLnodMSIThe PU-585 (on first picture) started a series of my models.After that the design (mostly the corners, inclined surfaces) was slightly modified and became the PU-584 street cleaner car.This thing (PU-585) became to big to hold all the variations I have already made.Now spin offs (the individual configurations) appear on their own Thingiverse things entries.
