[MOC] 42123 Alternate model: Volvo Iron Knight

[LoMaC]

This model based on one of the famous Volvo truck - Iron Knight. The main idea was to replicate this truck in small scale and use for this just parts from Lego set 42123 McLaren Senna.

Definitely not all shapes and parts of the original truck I was able to build properly, but I think it is compromise in scope of limited range of parts. 

Instructions: link to intruction 
Dimensions: 15x37x15.3 stud
Weight: 516 g

Functions:
1. HoG
2. Working V8 engine driven by rear axle
3. Openable doors
4. Detailed exterior

I prefer the look of this over the original and you've made extremely good use of the colours available .

Looks more like a main model! Great job!

@LoMaC Your builts really have a nice flow and look just so consistent. As many said, this really is more like an official model. It's hard to replicate a real vehicle in that scale, even harder to do with the limited parts.

It's really funny you had to use the flex axle for the stiffening bars at the backend of the rollcage :D

The model looks very natural. Cool! Only the engine has shifted a little back.
