MOC: Logging Truck

[MdrnMrvls]

Well, after demolishing my blue pick-up truck that I recently uploaded, I decided to rebuild my semi-truck from a while back. The design was grossly complicated, and the upside down positioning of the wheel wells was proving too flimsy. So, I opted for a more simpler approach which turned out a lot better in my opinion.

One problem with my semi truck was that the airfoil was too drastic in size. So in this model, I completely removed the original one and went for a more gentler slope.

Very nice 'MdrnMrvls' - is`it based on a Westernstar or which truck brand ?

Your design looks like it's classic Model Team style, great colour selection, nice trailer too !

Once again another EXCELLENT job 'MdrnMrvls' and I'm a conformist! !

Nice looking truck. The square logs are different.

Loving the proportions there.

Is there anyway you can get those 2x4 wing pieces so the 6-stud hood on one side can gently slope down to 4 without the staggered look? (Unless you prefer that staggered look---I know some people like it that way)

Nothing in particular. I'm glad it reminds you of the Model Team series, I wasn't old enough to enjoy those.

Very different. I need to invest in some brown round pieces here. And thank you.

Probably, but I do like that staggered look. I don't think I have enough of those blue pieces anyways. Glad you like it though!
