Captain Green Hair Posted May 9, 2010 Hey guys, Slightly inspired by the tanker truck from the town plan set and a picture of an old Shell truck, I decided to make my own: Now that is a happy Shell driver! Chrome comes from Chromebricks. Thanks and enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izzy Posted May 9, 2010 Really nice work there Rick! It reminds me a lot of some of the original wooden LEGO trucks we saw in the Ideas House in Billund. Just can't get enough of that chrome either! SHINY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aredhel Posted May 9, 2010 Really great MOC! Really nice on the little details in the front and back! Really looove that chrome stuff too ;-) -Aredhel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legomaniac83 Posted May 9, 2010 That's some great detail on the truck. Love the front grille work. I think I just might have to invest in some of those chrome brick as well.... Nice MOC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 9, 2010 AWESOME truck 'Captain Green Hair' - more beautiful than the one that came with Town Plan, if that's possible.

Piratedave84 Posted May 12, 2010 Chrome Excellent work, I like the curves it really gives it that 60's feel! How about making one of those old styles gas pump to go with it? Pirate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickPerfection Posted May 13, 2010 Not sure why I haven't seen this before, but that's one of the most beautiful trucks I've ever seen in Lego! And it's zero-stud! Chrome rules! Indeed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helmantel Posted May 13, 2010 Really nice! Using the small antenna as a mirror is really clever. It would look really nice in a 50-60's themed lay out (with steam trains, modular houses etc.) which is actually what I plan to build, so I may try and build something similar if you don't mind :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirate I'll add a whole service station in the future, this is just a start. Really nice! Using the small antenna as a mirror is really clever.

Be my guest to build something similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toa_Of_Justice Posted May 20, 2010 Great job, Captain Green Hair! I especially like all the details on your model (such as the smaller doors and the red rails along the sides), as well as your interesting windshield technique. And of course, I agree with the other posters that the chrome is awesome. -Toa Of Justice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
