    @Bricksonwheels I understand what you're trying to say, but like you made one photo, I can do number of them every day on way to work and home to support tire dimensions that I've written about. Australian built Kenworth K200 was mentioned example (friend of my father was wisiting us from Australia two weeks ago and they have about 115tire; trucks that drive only on road use 24.5 tires and 22.5 is used on nonasphalt roads because they have bigger profile - he works for a truck dealer). Every european truck that I see every day has tires that I mention. I agrree with you that newer U.S. truck tend to smaller tires (they got a little bir better acceleration and tire dealers here ib Croatia say they are cheaper) and about that I completely agree, but Peterbilt 352 is older model and in 1991 I was studying English language in California and saw number of "pimped" trucks with 12R24.5, (ordinary tire was 11R24.5 but they were not chromed ones ) used on chromed wheels. But for even older model Kenworth bullnose you can use your idea of scaling with 62.4 Tires; it had smaller tire. If you use Bridgestone tire 295/80R22.5 as some kind of reference and have 62.4 tire for representation you got 1:17 scale (1058 / 62.4 ~ 17). Math can be cruel sometimes Of course we can joke about everything so even about this. BTW how did you do with your bikes? Did you base them on tire or chassis dimensions?

    Well progress is obvious, so I'll wait for final version

    You'll make it , I know it

    Isn't that point in everything?

    @efferman I've just spoken the truth

    It is starting to take nice boxy shape (like it should be). Nice from you to make belly shots. One cylinder engine, hm perhaps it would be less unusual to make V2 engine? Please do not use chains as LEGO did with their mining truck.

    Old school style, I'm really impressed Hm, now Ingmar has serius competition

    He meant that you managed to raise quality level with each your new creation You are making better and better models on every next attempt and constantly improoving your (allready) soffisticated qualities

    Andre this is the only right way to make proper moc of real thing but starting point is tire

    If she is atractive you have a good reason. Ingmar has some cool ideas about U.S. trucks; specially Kenworths

    Yust one comment, usual truck tires on 22.5" wheels are tires like very common 315/80R22.5 on european trucks (Arocs, Econic, DAF XF...) 1100mm overall diameter and U. S. trucks usually have 12.5R24.5 which are about 1150mm overall diameter. Please read Michelin or Continental truck tires brochures as example and you'll see that U.S. trucks in order to be represented by 62.4 Tire should be made in 1:17.5 or 1:18 scale. For 1:16 they should have smaller tires... Even new Kenworth K200 (successor of famous K100) has some 115cm tires...I can tell something about that relation LEGO tires to real tires due to years long calculations for my models. Even my last finished moc; Unimog U423 had some 6-7 month delay because of correct tire dimensions and proportions ...no hard feelings but please use mentioned brochures and recalculate. Since all trucks are (more or less) some 2500mm wide (chassis) they should be some 18 studs wide as mocs When looking those cabovers blue and white is my favorite

    Nice small hotrod

    Nice to have short wheelbase Peterbilt withouth rear tandem axles for a change. Only cab colors are not my choice but it is artists freedom

    White is not that bad, with red rims it could look interesting. Crane solution is really good

    @suffocation IMHO this is true flagship (not flapship) for this year ...and if you could make it with black rims and gray bodywork?

    @Madox003 first of all Wellcome to Eurobricks. As this is your first entry I admit very nice attempt and as @AkiyamaWataru said it looks like modern indycar indeed. Very nice shape and sticker organization through bodywork.

    @move5 you're wellcome

    I had different experience. For my Xerion Saddle trac I bought 42057 set mainly because of seat and what a surprise missing parts (when I opened the box) were among some pins and this two parts: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=27940&idColor=85 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=24116&idColor=85#T=C&C=85 Few months ago I have contacted Lego Customer Service and no response so far...In previus occassions they sent me all missing parts correctly

    Well done, it looks more like some inspiration based on Mustang for Mad Max theme / movie...
  20. 1gor
    Yessssssssssss!
  21. 1gor
    Clever
  22. 1gor
    IMHO it is apsolutely OK that each model have each own topic. Both models are nice

    Gearbox idea is not bad at all, but keep in mind that Mercedes has only one reverse gear

    @Aventador2004, I know that that you live far away, but with "modern" technology (photoshop and other manipulative software) we can make them be side by side...of course this requires some playing (with yourself) but it is dooable (after some hundred trial and error circles of (bad)luck ) Understanding and respect do not have borders (or limits). But also (is sad) you can not find them next door Even Jezus could not preach in his willage, so he had to move on
