Steebles1908 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Here's something I've been toying with in LDD - still needs some work. Back half isn't finished, and I'm not yet happy with the front bumper. Comments/Suggestions/Criticisms needed! Big Rig - WIP by Steebles1908, on Flickr Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Nice try so far, advice would be different tyres.....keep going and LDD On 'Steebles1908' ! Quote
Bregir Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Well, I really like it. Not so sure I can offer anything constructive right now - Its been years and years since I last built vehicles :P Quote

Locomotive Annie Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 That's pretty darn cool, - I really like the horns mounted on the radiator shell. Quote

lightningtiger Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Nice, very nice......though the tyres are a little on the thin side ? Brick On Truck On 'Steebles1908' ! Quote
rriggs Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Have to agree with LT about the tyres. Too low profile for a truck... Overall look of the truck is nice and the proportions are good. If I had to criticise (other than the tyres) I would suggest more variation in colour as too much of the truck is red. I think there should be more grey/black/etc for the mechanical bits, fuel tanks, exhausts, etc to make it realistic. Also, the mirrors look like they're mounted a bit low. I know it's tricky because of the way you've designed the flush glasshouse but they look too low to me. It also needs more lights... Cheers Rog Quote

I wanted to keep this looking fast and sleek - as if it was a heavily customized rig, thus the low profile tires and paint job. Quote
Bregir Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Looking good! Just one thing - wouldn't the fuel tanks normally be place closer to the rearwheels than the front? I think I'd move it backwards:) Quote
King Aragorn Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Very nice MOC! I like these wide tyres! Quote

I think I'd move it backwards:) I'm toying with this idea. From the small bit of research I've done, it looks like a lot of trucks that do not have sleeper cabs have their gas tanks mounted further forward. I've kept it closer to the front, because with that piece, I like the idea of it adding another "step up" for access to the cab. If I have enough room to move the gas tanks back, and also add an appropriate step, I may do so. Thanks for the input! Quote
