Posted June 9, 2024Jun 9 Hey Eurobricks! Don't often post MOCs here, but this kind of Lego City / town build is outside my usual theme, and I really enjoyed building it. More pictures are posted on both my Flickr and Instagram. I tried to stick to 1:40 scale, although it's not supposed to closely replicate a real-life vehicle. The model has all the usual play features for my vehicle MOCs, like: steering and suspension on the front wheels, suspension on the truck''s back wheels and trailer cabin that fits two minifigs inside various opening doors and hatches The main inspiration for this build was various tankers and lorries I saw traveling around the Middle East and Africa. Since infrastructure can be sparse in some places, a lot of communities are totally dependent on tanker trucks like this bringing water and fuel up and down some pretty sketchy rural roads. Thanks for looking! Edited June 10, 2024Jun 10 by Legosim

A little bit, not as flexible as most of my other vehicle models though because of how tight everything is...

I'm glad it gives that vibe! That was generally the idea. It rolls decently well, the tires stay on fine but getting all the tired to roll together requires a bit of pressure.

Glad the desert vibe came through well too On 6/16/2024 at 2:48 AM, idlemarvel said: Neat model, love the "flexible" hose. Thanks, bit tough to get it to actually stay put lol
