LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Today I was going to build a crate for the raffle but, got side tracked when I remembered I had recently bought a 90% complete 7991 Recycle truck. I decided agains BL the rest of the parts and combine it to one of my other trucks. So technically its a mod more than a MOC. Its a 1mpg Mammoth of a refuse truck with all the bells and whistles... At the tax payers expense Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Enjoy I put those extra arm pieces to good use for twice the efficiency. Gave it a spot light on top for added safety when backing up a night or to give extra sight for the workers to get every can before the sun is up. The lift mechanism was a simple fix. It does hold under its own weight with no problems! In the nude: Quad stacks... completely unnecessary but, looks pretty cool IMO A view of the lift extension. I did notice that with these added technic pins, its much easier to detach the bed. Thanks for looking! Edited November 9, 2011 by Leg Godt Gud Quote
Fuzzylegobricks Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Great Job! I Like how much it blends with the original set, It is very big and good for a city such as NewYork. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I really like how you modified the official dump truck to create a bigger version, especially with those functional arms. Although some of your photos could be a little less blurry, considered using a tripod? Quote
dr_spock Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Good job super-sizing the recycle truck. It's like a 7991 on steroids. I think it may need some 'this vehicle makes wide turns' warning labels. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the kind comments Fuzzylegobricks, KielDaMan, and dr_spock! I really like how you modified the official dump truck to create a bigger version, especially with those functional arms. Although some of your photos could be a little less blurry, considered using a tripod? As for the blurry photos, not only do I need a tripod but, a better camera. (Mine is 10yrs old; horrible auto focus on small objects) Not only this but, this is the space I have to work with. If you see a pace for a tripod tell me!! Now that I have figured how to resize and deeplink my photos I will be replacing all the blurry ones I have taken. (like the one above) Edited March 13, 2011 by Leg Godt Gud Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Man, this refuse truck has been pumping iron.....though with it's extended length shouldn't be 7 or 8 wide now and I would of used white slope 30 pieces instead of white 1x1 tiles on the mirrors. In all 'Leg Godt Gud' a great looking truck, keep up the excellent designing and Brick On ! Quote
city boy Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 nice work i can honestly say i have never seen a refuse truck that size Quote
