Zeek asked me to be a judge for this particular competition and this was one of the five favourite entries I ended up picking. I also wrote a few comments on each. For this one I wrote

"
I like everything about it: the size, the fact that the mechanism for the loadbed works, the driveshaft leading to the rear wheels. It combines good looks and working features in a small package."

All of that still applies :thumbup:

Cheers,
Ralph

Another beautiful, detailed MOC, de-marco. The other entries must have been amazing if this didn't win the contest. :thumbup:

Great idea for the rear footplates: do the grille tiles stay in place?

I looked at the first picture and said to myself that the truck is nice, but if it has a slider on the back, then it is going to be awesome. And it is awesome. I like that you went for all of the small details like the leg supports for when the back is down. Really nice design.
How many bricks can a Eurobrick brick, if a Eurobrick could brick bricks.

One of the best tow trucks I've seen. I especially love the splash of blue on the vehicle's bed. Beautiful colors and design!

Great amount of details big and small you packed in to that truck. Nice work! :thumbup:
