Dodge RAM 1990

[syzygy87]

Hello again,
I'm back with another pickup, again American :) But hopefully an iconic one. I've managed to insert a lego windscreen - the one from Land Rover is pretty good for my purposes. 
The front of the car is quite flat and you may not see it, but I almost went crazy trying to get a good effect :) 
I'm curious to hear your opinions! :)

Creator expert scale.

Features:
-working steering wheel;
-openable 2 doors, hood and tailgate;
-detailed engine, interior and body shape.

Very nice! Unusual tyre choice - would the balloon version not work better?

Thanks! 

All in all, you may be right... I wanted to make it a bit off-road, maybe unnecessarily :)

Ah, nice job! That is a very detailed grille! I especially like the thin gap between the cab and  bed, and the nicely formed wheel arches in the bed

Thanks a lot! The gap is half-stud long, but it is necessary... In my F100 someone reminded me of its absence, now I remember it :) Although it requires a bit of work (e.g. moving the rear axle by half stud).

Incredible! The truck bed is definitely the highlight for me, immaculate tile placement and choice! The entire thing is almost uncanny with how accurate it is, I also appreciate the real life comparison pics. Kudos on the engine as well!

My grandpa had a 1984 and model looks soooo amazing! I wish I had one to display.
