MOC: 3 trucks of Lego Town

[Bregir]

Time has now come for me to put some vehicles in what is threatening to become a full layout

After milling around these forums for a while and gathering inspiration, I have ventured to start my own projects.

Some of you (forgive me, I am horrible with names....) have been upgrading classic Lego vehicles, and I couldn't help but to want to try it myself. Specifically the tv-van, one of my all-time favourite sets, caught my attention, so that is where I started.

TV-van

Here is my take on a 6 wide version. I struggled a bit with fitting two minifig's next to eachother and fitting in seats, but I think I managed allright. It's gotten a bit boxy, and seems quite short, but I find that I quite like that.

From the front right:

Rear left:

Obviously the antenna folds out.

And the van easily holds a camera and film rolls.

Containercarrier:

(Or whatever it is called... )

Luckily, my brother visited me and got the same idea, only with a different set. (I am working on bringing him out of his dark ages, and I am starting to succeed )

Here is what he came up with.

It wasn't easy to make the loader work with a longer container, but he managed very well, I must say.

We both agree that it is a bit too red in red, but for a first build in a long time, I think he did very well!

Semi:

And here the third and last one. A semi to pull the trailers of Lego Town.

Again, it seats two minifigs, and I find it turned out quite well.

And I found a place to use my chrome parts!

It's always a bit of a struggle for me to fit the wheels in without the arches I see many use. (And have very few of...) But for a semi, this solution works fine for me.

And lastly a picture of them all together!

Hope you like it! Comments and suggestions are welcome

Nice set of truck Bregir! I've been thinking about building a 6W T.V. van, as well. I have the classic set, love it, don't want to take it apart, so I bought a couple extra decorated panels a good while ago. This really makes me want to give it a whirl

It's nice to be able to pass on the inspiration as it was passed on to me

I am really looking forward to seeing your version!

It looks like old lego sets! Brilliant! Great job!

Nice "old style" trucks :thumbup:

[PsyKater]

The TV van is superb! The other two could be a bit better IMHO but the TV van is very recognizable and very well built. I like it a lot!

Not bad at all 'Bregir', the red skip loader is my favourite of the three......Brick On Truck On !

Wow these are great! I think the blue tv van is my favorite. You should definitely make more because I really like the old style that you captured with these models.

Great trucks! I love the use of classic pieces on these, they look like old school Town but in modern 6-wide size.

The Maersk truck is just amazing!

My brother will be happy to hear!

I, however, my now declare you my eternal enemy for prefering my brother's creation above mine!!

Thanks for all the replies

I never thought about the classic brick and classic look

But as it happens, most of my bricks are old, hence the rustique look!

I am glad you like our creations - And even more happy to hear all of them have their fans!

Brick on
