Peppermint_M Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Space Trucking Across the Universe! My created universe needs mass transit for large cargo. So I built a Space Truck. I was originally planning on simply modifying the truck cab that came in the Speed Racer set, however I couldn’t find enough wheels. I slapped some “rockets” in the wheel wells, removed the flip up roof and changed it to static. Then I added a lot of other extras to create the truck you see now. I made this flatbed trailer as a quick extra to add to it for a photo. I want to make two more loads, maybe more. It fits into my universe with the style in which I built it. I love building things Zeerusty More photo's in my flickr photostream Quote
pedro Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Nice work! Reminds me of the vehicle out of Space Truckers Quote
Milan Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Cool! I like the cabin, very creative with that rockets! The rest is nice, too! Quote
Peppermint_M Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 I have two more tows to build, a large enclosed cargo box and a quad-cargo frame that can hold four smaller cargo boxes. I have some ideas to try out that may work but might take some effort as I want a lot of the frame to be SNOT but to also be sturdy. Quote
lincolnwho Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I'm new so it may be an old MOC of yours but Kudos to the pink and blue Rocket Racer? its awesome. The truck is also of the highest calibre , bravo good work, cant wait to see the other containers Quote
Peppermint_M Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 Hi and thanks. The smaller ship is BubbleMint, its on this forum, MOCpages and Flickr (links in my sig if you want to see a few more pics). I made the flatbed large enough to carry that ship as I have set it as a standard for all my future personal cruiser/racer ships. Quote

Just checked out the bubblemint and your other creations , awesome stuff really brilliant , really like your Minifig Metroid to Quote
Hound Knight Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Very interesting design, it reminds me of Snakes truck in one of the SP3 sets. The vehicle that it is hauling is also good, very nice color scheme. Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I knew somewhere along the line that those Speed Racer sets would come in handy for someone. AWESOME space truck 'Peppermint_M' ! Hey with the same cab you could build a space fire truck ! (note - could be whole new sub-theme and run parallel to SP3) Keep up the sweet work 'Peppermint_M' ! Quote
Legostein Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Hello! A really nice combination. It looks like the space version of one of the many helicopter transports of the classic city line. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
Peppermint_M Posted December 29, 2009 Author Posted December 29, 2009 Space Version is really what I am aiming for, my chosen "look" for my universe is normal IN SPACE. I have made space bikes, space cars and now space trucks . Quote
