MdrnMrvls Posted December 26, 2009 Hello everyone. I haven't contributed a MOC here for awhile, so I thought I should finally show my 1930s Truck that I've redone. After seeing legohaulic's over at Flickr, I felt obligated to change mine as well. My previous version seemed too long with an unrealistic arrangement of colors, so that's what I planned to fix. As it turned out, I completely demolished the truck and started over from scratch and I'm happy with how it turned out. It's still a five wide vehicle (six with the wheel wells) and can seat two minifigures, but what I'm most happy with is how the front came out. It proved tough, but after some problem solving, it came together. Pictures are links. Hope you enjoy! Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted December 26, 2009 Quite nice, 'MdrnMrvls' ! Although, a white truck - I thought most of these work horse type vehicles were like what Henry Ford said, 'You can have any colour you like, as long as it's black'. I would love someone to try this as a MOC (might do so myself). The world's first ute - designed/manufactured at Ford's Geelong's plant in Australia after a request by a farmers wife for a truck her husband could use on the farm and the same vehicle could be alright to drive in to church on a Sunday.

BlueBard Posted December 26, 2009 Really nice! I specially like that classy and "round" front Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostein Posted December 26, 2009 Hello! You captured the classic look of the vehicle very well. I like the fitting windscreen between the tiles, and also the mudguards are a very nice brick-built solution for this. Cheers, ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milan Posted December 27, 2009 Nice! I like old trucks, I built two very similar to yours, just in bigger scale. Front end is really good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! And you are right, Ford did say that! I just wanted to use the white and gray combo, I thought it would look nice compared to a plain black (picture it as refurbished antique.) However, now that you mention it, I think I have the pieces to pull one off in black. Really nice! I specially like that classy and "round" front Thanks a lot BlueBard, I like it too. You captured the classic look of the vehicle very well. I like the fitting windscreen between the tiles, and also the mudguards are a very nice brick-built solution for this. Thanks! The mudguards are probably my favorite part. The windshield is starting to grow on me because before I was using two 2x1x2s and those indeed looked a bit awkward.
