[MOC] Flame Monster – monster truck

[_TLG_]

Hello,

Meet my monster truck, a blast from the past inspired by my favorite childhood toy: a '57 Chevy Matchbox car. It's not a copy of any real truck, but it's packed with cool vintage style. It looks right at home with Speed Champions cars and can star in any LEGO City scen, just add a crowd and let the show begin! It’s now submitted to the Bricklink Designer Program (BDP) Series 10:

I've added loads of authentic details, like a front bumper with lights and a license plate, headlights, turn signals, a custom grille logo, and more. But the real showstopper is the brick-built flame job, it's what makes this truck truly unique.

 

• The set includes 1 minifigure and a spare wheel, and offers plenty of play features:

• • Working steering (via a wheel under the truck bed, see Image 4) with +/-20 degrees of turn

• • Openable tailgate (see Image 7)

• • Pivoting rear axle that mimics suspension. For display, tilt it onto its spare wheel for a cool, dynamic pose (see Image 1).

• • Removable roof for easy access to the single-seat cabin (see Image 7)

• The connections of the two flame elements to the exhausts are loose, so they are intended for display purposes only.

 

I hope you enjoy this set. Many thanks for your support and feedback!

Thanks for visiting,

Nice work, from the chassis to the paint. Lots of fun features for kids to play with in this one. The homage to a classic Chevy is the cherry on top.

Love this one, it's the perfect balance of aggressive and cute.
