My goal was to create something aesthetically similar to the current line up of CiTY vehicles, but packed with as many functions and details as possible... while maintaining a realistic part count. Construction techniques include standard stud on top mixed with studs not on top (S.N.O.T.). Parts include a mix of standard, sloped, solid, transparent, technic axles and connectors, and notch hinges...
Details include:
4 axles, 8 wheels
Detailed cab with speedometer, coffee mug, loader control lever
Manually operated loader mechanism with steering wheel control for forks and tilt
Opening top hatch for garbage entry
Opening rear for garbage dumping
Tilting garbage hold with friction ram
Fuel and hydraulic tanks
Lots of realistic little details like hazard lights, front and rear lights, warning bar
Dumpster with castors and opening lid
Driver
Rat
Broom
Part count:
Truck and driver: 362pcs
Dumpster: 45 pcs
Total: 407 pics
Dimensions:
Truck: 32 studs long (with forks folded) x 6 studs wide x 8 blocks tall
Dumpster: 6 studs long x 6 studs wide x 4 blocks tall
