[MOC] Mad Max's truck

[antp]

Hello,

Here is a truck I made for a challenge on another forum, on the theme "vehicle from 80s movie or TV series" - the truck driven by Max in "Mad Max 2" from 1981.

Amongst my first ideas, there were main cars from the first Mad Max movie, but that movie was released in late 70s, so just outside of the theme, and anyway already done a lot in Lego. However I didn't find MOCs of this truck after a quick search.

In the movie, Max drives a 1973 Mack R-Series found abandoned on the road. There is a first chase when he brings back the truck safe to the oil refinery, this is the version that I reproduced here. Later the truck is armoured and used to haul a tank trailer out of there.
I thought about doing also that second version, but I abandoned due to lack of time (for the trailer) and inspiration (for the reinforced front of the truck).

Here are a few captures from the movie for comparison:
