Captain Green Hair Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Hey guys, Slightly inspired by the tanker truck from the town plan set and a picture of an old Shell truck, I decided to make my own: Now that is a happy Shell driver! Chrome comes from Chromebricks. Thanks and enjoy! Quote
Izzy Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Really nice work there Rick! It reminds me a lot of some of the original wooden LEGO trucks we saw in the Ideas House in Billund. Just can't get enough of that chrome either! SHINY! Quote
Aredhel Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Really great MOC! Really nice on the little details in the front and back! Really looove that chrome stuff too ;-) -Aredhel Quote
legomaniac83 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 That's some great detail on the truck. Love the front grille work. I think I just might have to invest in some of those chrome brick as well.... Nice MOC! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 AWESOME truck 'Captain Green Hair' - more beautiful than the one that came with Town Plan, if that's possible. Stickering is excellent, trim work also excellent, frontend of truck - love it ! Great work 'Captain Green Hair' and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Peppermint_M Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 see the Billund evet attendees showing off... Lovely truck, Vintage styling and great scaling. Quote
Milan Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Awesome curves on this truck! I like the colors, really nice work! Quote
prateek Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 chrome! The curves are perfect, and that tubing is great Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted May 10, 2010 Author Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks guys! Really nice work there Rick! It reminds me a lot of some of the original wooden LEGO trucks we saw in the Ideas House in Billund. Good thought, didn't think of those yet! Thanks! Stickering is excellent, trim work also excellent, frontend of truck - love it ! Thanks, there are no stickers on it though, only old bricks. see the Billund evet attendees showing off... It was actually build just before the event. Just can't get enough of that chrome either! SHINY! Really looove that chrome stuff too ;-)-Aredhel I think I just might have to invest in some of those chrome brick as well.... chrome! Chrome rules! Quote
Piratedave84 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Chrome Excellent work, I like the curves it really gives it that 60's feel! How about making one of those old styles gas pump to go with it? Pirate Quote
BrickPerfection Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Not sure why I haven't seen this before, but that's one of the most beautiful trucks I've ever seen in Lego! And it's zero-stud! Chrome rules! Indeed! Quote
Helmantel Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Really nice! Using the small antenna as a mirror is really clever. It would look really nice in a 50-60's themed lay out (with steam trains, modular houses etc.) which is actually what I plan to build, so I may try and build something similar if you don't mind :) Quote

Be my guest to build something similar. Quote
Toa_Of_Justice Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Great job, Captain Green Hair! I especially like all the details on your model (such as the smaller doors and the red rails along the sides), as well as your interesting windshield technique. And of course, I agree with the other posters that the chrome is awesome. -Toa Of Justice Quote
