Scuderia Ferrari Truck MOC

[Dennimator]

I love the 8654 Scuderia Ferrari Truck set, however when it comes to scale, it´s crap. So I wanted to make one which was actually in minifig (and town) scale. I took apart the set, poured the pieces into the thrash parts bin and began to build. I faced alot of unexpected problems, as I had to build the truck off-stud to itself (I don´t really know how to explain this, let the pics talk for themselves. ) And yes, I know I have to buy a new sticker sheet.

The truck:

Ok, so as I said, I faced alot of problems in this build, which I had to solve with alot of jumper plates.

Here´s a pic of the bottom of it.

I didn´t have any place for a cool foldable TECHNIC stand like TLG´s, so I used a hinge instead:

Interior:

It can hold one car, and some tools etc:

A pic with it holding my Ferrari Car:

...a Stormtrooper dropped something from his V-Wing. He could trace the thing to the planet called Tellus, or Earth. However the object seems to be moving, so the Stormtrooper decided to have a look:

(sorry for the blurry pic)

(sorry for the crappy Paint editing)

Can you find what the Stormtrooper is looking for?

Please tell me what you think!

I like it, and it is well thought out, but one problem. TLG's truck was to scale. I've been to F1 races and such,a nd these things usually carry about two cars and tools. But this one fits better into the town setting

Thanks!

However TLG´s truck can only carry 1 car as well..

It looks good. One thing that bothers me is that the trailer is wider than the truck, but it's nessecary to have your 5 wide car

Thank you. Yes, the trailer is a bit wide. At first I tried to make it 7-wide instead of 8-wide, however I soon figured out none of my cars would fit in a 7-wide truck.

Very nice work!

I built one of these back in May.
