DLuders Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Maciej Drwiega just added a new Peterbilt 359 Logging truck to his Flickr photostream photosets. The story accompanying the first picture below says: "When I was finishing the Pete logging truck it was obvious that it need an outdoor photo session. For several weeks I couldn't find a suitable time and idea how and where I should take these photos. "The best will be Snoqualmie or North Bend (WA, USA) as the model was inspired by the Twin Peaks TV series. But... it's ca. 12000 km from Warsaw... And even if I would be going to visit this area in nearest time, taking 1:13 scale Lego truck with me would be a real challenge :) I chose easier option and 420 km later I arrived to Bieszczady Mountains on the South of Poland. Nice place when you get few sunny days free and also not bad scenario for the Pete session. And here they are – some fresh pics from today. "Enjoy the photos and some more you can find on the BS folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=422501 ." Pictures of some of his other trucks were featured on the Espvisuals website. Click on the hyperlinks below to see the entire Flickr picture spread and stories about each of these vehicles: Kenworth K100 Aerodyne: "Built in 2006 and based on my first 1:13 scale truck. It's a model of late 70s / early 80s famous K100 Aerodyne. Under the cab replica of the Detroit Diesel V8 turbo charged engine. I have no idea how many bricks were used, but I remember that package with bricks for walls of the trailer was 3kg. The model -as almost all of my 1:13 trucks - still exists. The original brickshelf gallery is here. Kenworth W900 Longnose: "1:13 scale model of Kenworth W900 truck. It's 3 years old now. On the photos equipped with R6 Cummins BigCam engine, now it has Yellow Caterpillar 3406. 60" sleeper, long nose, white roof and high exhaust pipes. Something like a chopper truck." Jelcz 315: "It's a 1:13 scale Lego model of a typical Polish working horse from 70s and 80s - Jelcz 315. I finished it in the second half of 2007. Working turret and crane, replica of big R6 diesel and some details." Here are more from his Flickr photostream: Kamaz 5320: "After few US trucks I decided to turn into something completely different. Here it is. Built in 2008 1:13 scale model of one of the most popular working trucks in east Europe - KAMAZ. It's a 5320 model from 70s. V8 engine, working rear suspension etc. Enjoy the photos !" Kenworth K100 Day Cab: "... I started the model in the end of 2006. It had to be a standard working tractor with 60" cab. The color scheme had to be a tribute to my first 1:13 Lego model. In September 2007 I presented unfinished truck during Lego show in Kielce. Then the truck was to be a carrier for Holmes 850 towing machinery. After this time I discarded the project, disassembled the chassis and moved the cab to my "scrap yard" - a place for unfisnished MOCs. This year I found time for it again. Decided it will be a single axle lightweight tractor, maybe a hay truck. "It is powered by V6 turbocharged Detroit Diesel engine. The V6 made of Technic cylinders fits pretty well under the short cab. The general idea was to build just a simple truck. I've got almost ready single axle flatbed trailer for it. Needs only some detailing and will be ready for outdoor session." Peterbilt Trike: "I suppose some of you remember TV show called Monster Garage. In one of the episods the crew rebuilt an old Peterbilt semi into a trike. And here it is in Lego. I built it in 2007 just for fun, then it was published on brickshelf.com gallery." Detroit Diesel 6V92T: "Ca. 1:13 scale model of Detroit Diesel V6 turbo charged truck engine. It has working pistons and radiator fan - like all engines built for my large scale Lego trucks. "I decided to build a V6 for a truck for several reasons. The major one is that I consistently use Lego Technic cylinders which are too big for 1:13 scale. R6 engine will be too long for a day-cab truck (16 studs of head, fan and radiator, more than the total lenght of a cab). V8 will be too powerful for a single axle lightweight semi. Screaming two stroke V6 from Detroit shown as a perfect choice. More truck engines I have built you can find on a Brickshelf gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=186800 ." Quote

I live only a few miles from North Bend Washington, so he should just send me this MOC so I can take pictures of it in the right location for him. Quote
