TG-9 Moonbase Hover-Truck

Yes.

The TG-9 Moonbase Hover truck is the one Truck for all your light cargo hauling needs. With 4 x 8 capacity, 3500hp, and a max flight ceiling of 1 mile, it'll get the job done and the cargo there.

I built this little Hover Truck specifically to be able to carry two of these little 4 by 4 modular cargo platform thingies. It actually turned out better than I expected, so I snapped a few pics. My personal favorite part is the whole front, it looks spacey and it was a lot of fun to build.

Here it is seen carrying two ammunition cases.

Side view. The little 1 x 1 round plate is the refueling port.

This is the cockpit. It can fit one pilot inside with room for a small container to spare.

I would have put two gray cheese on the front of that canopy piece, but I couldn't find a way to attach them without completely re-doing the front bumper, and I didn't want to use glue.

A rear view. The two round engine pieces don't work too well, but they're ok. Most of the propulsion comes from the hover-thingies on the bottom anyway.

These are the modular cargo things I was talking about. I was in home depot one day buying soder, and I saw one of these things on a fork lift. Immediately, I knew what to do with all those dark orange 1x4s from BrickCon.

They're made out of four 1 by 4 dark orange plates, and they have 2 layers of indents in the bottom. The back of the truck has tiles built inversely to these indents, so the cargo platforms fit snugly in there.

That's all, folks!
