[WIP]Mack B75

[Kit Fisto]

Hi!

Here is my latest project - old lovely Mack in the scale of 2Lego`s trucks...

The chassis have been sitting on my shelfe for a very long time, but now it`s something more then just chassis:)

Credits for rear axles go to Ingmar - they are a bit modified axles from his trucks

Front axle is my own setup, which uses small LA for steering.

At the moment I`m pretty satisfied with the front of truck.

Today I spent a lot of time figuring out tank design.Do yu like it?Any suggestions?..

The tank isn`t finished, i don`t really like eht way 3x3 dish is attached, cause it has wobbling.

The real one:

Nice work with the XL motors .

[Pluto_MkII]

Wow! The bonnet looks amazing. Nice build. Do you use PF LEDs at the front?

I like the idea you use for building up the tank in combination with the XL motor. Keep the good work up!

[Kit Fisto]

Tnaks for the comments!

Yes, there are LEDs in front lights

I`m glad u like the bonnet, it was a very big challenge to get it look right..

Looks great so far! I like the XL fuel tanks.

[Sylvian]

That looks very very promising! And you have a great taste :)

[Shurik]

That's my boy! Way to go! Can't help enjoying your progress on this Mack.

Bonnet is an eye-candy, but that fender is a huge trouble. Regular curved bricks is not a solution. Go in either for some unique combination of panels and tiles or simply try layers of regular plates.

Nice execution of XL-motor-tank, but watch out for scale issues. According to the pic you submitted the tank should be smaller and closer to the front wheels. Of course, it's up to you, but I love the standarts you're trying to keep up with.

Very nice truck. For what is worth, I don't mind the fender. I don't think it is a problem.

[Kit Fisto]

Thanks for the replies, guys!Updated arch design:

Still uses curved bricks, but now it`s much more round and less bulky, then it was before.In my opinion, curved brciks here is the best solution, as combinations of plates just make it look square...

Tank is very far from final design, I`m still not sure if the XL-motor will be the tank, or I should place it to the cab and build the tank from bricks...

[Sylvian]

Very nice!

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

You picked yourself a very nice classic truck and you are doing a great job so far...well done...!!!

[Kit Fisto]

Thanks, Ingmar!

Current stage:

1)Brick-built tank added, drive motor changed to L with 12:20-12:24 gearing.For now it`s working perfectly, I really hope it will be able to carry the full weight of the truck.L-motor is sitting under the bonnet now..Tank closer:

The black 1 x 6 arch on the 2nd pic shows end of a cab.

[Edwin Korstanje]

[Bricksonwheels]

Great job!

[Kit Fisto]

It`s update time!

1)Bonnet is fully finished(I think so)

2)Fuel tank reworked(again)

3)Added interrior details

4)Cab is gettin shape

Atm I miss 3 more chrome grills, so radiator grill is metallic silver now..

[motomatt]

Nice classic truck. Look forward to seeing it done!

[Kit Fisto]

Thanks!

After some late night building...

[Kit Fisto]

99% finished...Needs chromed wheels, some stickers and rear-view mirrors.

[lcvisser]

Very nice! If you're going to chrome things, why not also chrome the two small brackets that hold the smaller lights under the headlights?

[Kit Fisto]

Because they will be black :)

I just don`t have them atm, need to do BL order...

[lcvisser]

Excellent, I agree that would look better

[Sylvian]

Ooo really nice! Will you turn the front wheels around or something?

[Kit Fisto]

To be honest, I was just going to leave it as it is..Turning around isn`t an option, cause it means adding 1 more bush to the axle the wheel is attached to => far from steering point.

But may be I`ll do smth with it..
