[MOC] Tipper Van

[Krall]

Hi! It took me a unreasonably big amount of time to publish this model, but finally here we are :)

 

This MOC was meant to be a little warm up after 2 years pause from LEGO. Becouse of that it's a small and quite simple model but in the same time I belive its interesting mechanicaly-wise as it uses some of ideas I acumuleted throug these 2 years without building.

 

Two main features are steering mechanism and three-way tipper, both of these functions are controlled by the same knob which controls steering if in lower position and tipping if pulled up.

Model also features openable bonet with fake engine underneath, doors behind which you will find decently detailed interior, Storage compartments that can fit some minifigure accesories like shovel, broom or wrench and three sides of the tipping bed.

If you would like to build this model I created instructions in stud.io which are available on Rebrickable.

I really dig the front with the combination of transparent bionicle teeth and the panel above!

The idea of operating both HOG and the tipper bed with the same knob is genius! It also looks great, great work!

Very cool tiny but fully detailed van! Reminds me Mercedes Sprinter of the second generation. Or first generation facelift, don't remember for sure.
