MOC: Building Supply Truck

[MdrnMrvls]

Another seven wide vehicle to go with my town. Features a crane with winch and side opening doors to the cab. It can also seat two figures side by side.

That's cool. i like the round bricks for the grill

[Milan]

Nice one!

It looks like 7 wide is a way to go.

I do not know why, but every time when I see tha truck with a crane, I like it. This one, too. Especially with these nice lines and shape. I like the color scheme, too!

[Matt Dawson]

those doors look good!

7 wide and 5 wide truck are the way forward

Seen on Flickr, but I haven't made let a message... Very nice work! I really like the "study style" of your vehicules!

I'm normally the last person to start talking lecturing people on build techniques, but I do feel that in this case the mostly studs-up construction of the front makes it look a bit clunky. Some half-stud offsets and a radiator made with grille tiles could make it look a bit nicer. Still, it's a nice truck and I always like to see representations of a fairly everyday vehicle. Trucks are workhorses first and foremost and this one has that look. It's surprising how much more detail you can fit in a vehicle that's just a little bit wider than the norm.

Cheers,

Ralph

Well, thanks a lot everyone, I'm happy you like it!

@Ralph

Indeed you are right, and in this case a half stud off-set would have worked perfectly (one being the room to work with, and for once I had the blue jumpers to do it!). I'll try to keep that in mind in later builds and see how it looks in this model.
