pigpen Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Family friends own a trucking company and I drew inspiration from one of their best trucks, a Hino. Now to find the time and bricks and build the real one. although it will be pricy getting the bricks into New Zealand. Quote
SeanM Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Spot on. What type of stuff does the truck haul? Quote
Technic-Kobaltz Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Livestock by the look of it. Think it will look even better in bricks. Edited March 10, 2014 by Technic-Kobaltz Quote
rriggs Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Before you go ahead and build it I would think about adjusting the front very slightly. On the example photo, the gold grille does not come down to between the headlights. I would replace the bottom two gold grilles with black tiles and lose the black bumper. This will match the Hino front end better. Nice job though. Cheers Rog Quote

pigpen Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 WOW, I forgot about this post as well! Yes it carries Stock and the crates can come off for a flat deck. I'm still mucking around with the grill, trying to get the right balance. the only option is when I order the bricks Ill order for both scenarios, two high grill and 3 high grill and see what looks the best in the final design.

Kiwi_Builder Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Good to see another kiwi on Eurobricks mate Looking pretty good, have you built it with bricks or haven't you ordered them yet? You should build some more kiwi trucks on LDD. Cheers, Kiwi_Builder. Quote
