[MOC] 's Mini Cooper, Actros w/ trailer, Backhoe

[mishtron]

Hey everyone, not a huge city builder, but thought I'd share a few small MOCs I gone and done:

 - minifig playable vintage Mini Cooper
 - old model Actros with long heavy haul trailer
 - good ol' backhoe

I wanted a playable mini for my family minifigs, although in my quest for playability, fitting two minifigs in parallel and aesthetics, I made it a bit big, I will try out a 4 wide minifig version soon

interior and functions

I'm mainly a castle and space  builder, but something needs to deliver all those castle wall stones and spacefaring engines! I tried ot make the front in the older Actros style, with engine playability and sleepability on the interior

And finally a simple backhoe to terraform the ground for the castle buildings and spaceports, for some reason I feel like the official Lego backhoes never get it quite right...

You need to fix those first 2 pictures because, from what I can see in the others, I think I love that Mini!

Thanks man, fixed.

Wasn't sure if I could flickr edit the images after they had been posted.

Nice!  I must say, you captured a lot of the Mini vibe in such a small scale!
