DLuders Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) On his Flickr photostream, BricksOnWheels posted 7 images of his 2010-2012 Lego GMC Sierra custom sports truck. He wrote, "Lugnuts is a Flickr group of many Lego car and truck builders and each month a contest is organised. For December everybody who entered got a random assignment, and i got the task to build a 90's GMC Sierra sporttruck in a tricked out version. As there is totally no sporttruck culture in Europe i did some research on these highly customized trucks. I started to like the subject a lot, and tried to create a custom example inspired both by US and European custom and tuning trends. It is in scale 1:17, features Lambo doors, and a flipable hood and trunk. Besides this there is a modelled and chromed engine, exhaust and independent suspension. Being a lowrider the airtanks are in the back, including hosing etc. The interior features sportseats and special steering wheel." Edited December 31, 2010 by DLuders Quote
Out of Sight Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Very NICE! These US "Mini-Truckin'" customizations usually have a "bagged suspension", basically an air suspension systems to raise and "slammed" the trucks low, sometimes the frame literally lays on the asphalt with the intentions of driving them and creating sparks on the road!!. Would be even better if Bricksonwheels incorporate a pneumatic system to raise, tilt or dip the truck suspension, and also a PF-ed liftjack mechanism beneath the bed to raise, spin and tilt the bed. These are mostly seen on US custom truck events, refered as "Bed dance" For you guys in Europe not familiar with this custom culture check this vid! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2194F0Agnc&playnext=1&list=PL79BE8057B7A72E82&index=18 The bed dance Quote
Bricksonwheels Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 That is a great video. These things are wicked, but very nice to build. Quote
Milan Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Incredible, as always! Chrome bricks are really important on your MOCs. They give them great touch. I like your rigs more, but this is a nice addition. Quote
shutinc Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Wow, that's so awesome. The chrome and the details, and not to mention the functionality makes this a winner. Good job making a replica of the original! Kudos to the creator of this beautiful thing. Too bad he didn't post it himself. Quote
