Mack Cruise-liner

[Lecz]

Hi, 

I'd like to present my first model, designed with the Bricklink Studio, hope you like it:

The building style, the functions and the scale of the truck is similar to the amazing set of 42078 (MACK Anthem).

Total parts: 1265

Dimensions (cm): 15,2x31,4x18,3 (Width x Length x Height)

Manual functions:

• HoG steering
• Opening doors
• V8 Fake engine
• Lock/unlock fifth wheel
• Cabin tilting

What a beautiful build with very nice blend of technic and system pieces!

You should include a pic of the real build here ;-)

Did you thought about using the narrow 49.5 x 14 tires? Would look even better in my opinion and give a little better steering angle :-P

Back when i have made the original design of the truck (some 3 years ago) those tires was super expensive.
Later when I got those tires, i actually wanted to rebuild the chassie, but I was lazy :)
But still, it's a good point. The steering angle would be much better with those tires and maybe the overall design also.

On my bricksafe page, there are some, but the studio renders looks much better, than my old phone made images.

Oh my. A simply stunning recreation of a true American icon of the highways 🙂

When I was a kid I liked no long nose trucks like this, very good construction full of details.

This is amazing, such a high level of detail and well presented.

Thank you, I also like the yellow one, but this white-blue have a special old school vibe, because of the 5580 Highway Rig.

Frontpaged.
It is always a good practice to include a picture or two of the real build, otherwise it might be moved to LDD builds.

I have added one in your main post

Wow! That's one thing I can tick off from my bucket list :)
I appreciate, Thank you!

That's really nice! The proportions look spot on and I love your eye for detail!

Its a great tool Studio, really helps getting the subtleties right.....

What a clean and well-proportioned build!

I like that the cabin can tilt and that it allows access to the V8 engine!

Thank you all for your kind words!
I put here another photo of the built model.
