Posted June 3, 201014 yr Hey there, this is my first published MOC, so please be gentle :) Well, here it goes, it's the Trailer truck from the 80's series Knight Rider. I designed it entirely in LDD, then bought the missing parts and "materialized" it. The trailer features a mechanism to lower the legs when it's not connected to the truck. Inside there's some space for K.I.T.T. which will be build sometime in the near future. The logo isn't really the best, but i just couldn't make a better one. The whole truck is a mix of normal building and SNOT technique. Truck only Trailer opened and viewed from top Trailer legs mechanism How the mechanism works Lowered ramp LDD file (full hierarchical grouping for better inside view) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bpavsic/KR/kr.lxf Some more images: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=430506 edit: some grammar Edited June 4, 201014 yr by TheBrickster
June 3, 201014 yr COOL!!!! The mechanism to lower the legs is pretty ingenious. Altogether the MOC is awesome. Really looking forward to seeing it with K.I.T.T!!!! Keep brickin' Pirate
June 3, 201014 yr AWESOME truck 'Bojan Pavsic' - I can't wait to also see Kitt plus Michael Knight (The Hoff) behind the wheel of Kitt ! I'm a conformist! !
June 3, 201014 yr Author AWESOME truck 'Bojan Pavsic' - I can't wait to also see Kitt plus Michael Knight (The Hoff) behind the wheel of Kitt ! I'm a conformist! ! Hehe, waiting for the black "clown" hair from the second minifig series. "The Hoff" had such hair back then in Knight Rider.
June 3, 201014 yr I like the striping on the side of the trailer and I've never seen a mechanism like that built into a LEGO truck. Neat work!
June 4, 201014 yr A great truck with a nice feature for the trailer. I edited the the link to Youtube. Just edit your own post to see how I did it for the future.

June 4, 201014 yr This show was a must see after school hit for me, and your MOC takes me back to after school snacks and the theme music, and of course the coolest car of all time.
June 4, 201014 yr Hey Bojan What a great looking truck. The yellow artwork is faboulus. And knowing your mechanical skills, it makes perfect sense that you put some moving legs Another sweet touch is the tilting 5th wheel. Nice trick also with putting the road base plates under. Using groups in LDD is a very proffesional approach. Every LDD user should watch and learn. And that you added the LXF-files is a very nice gesture! I'm defeintly adding this to the LDD forum index. Oh, and that rear part of the truck I would call a ramp. A backside could mean something else And an idea: I would turn the rear rims 180 degrees because that how they look on a real truck due to the double wheel mounting. The front rim is however correct:
June 4, 201014 yr Thats awesome, can't wait to see KITT! You can see KITT allready now. Just download LDD (ldd.lego.com) and you can open the LXF-file and see it (well, only in digital form that is ) EDIT: Just noticed you are new on Eurobricks - Welcome!! You can always post a quick introduction of yourself here
June 4, 201014 yr Author You can see KITT allready now. Just download LDD (ldd.lego.com) and you can open the LXF-file and see it (well, only in digital form that is ) :) yea, but it's by far from the final version. I don't like it, so i didn't make a "physical" version yet.
June 4, 201014 yr Nice rendition, Bojan Pavsic! This show was one of my favoutites as a kid, and I have been wondering if someday someone would have produced a LEGO version of that iconic truck (I for one do not have a good hand with LEGO trucks...). Thanks for making it real!
June 4, 201014 yr Very nice work. I like your trailer mechanism. Look forward to seeing KITT roll out from the back.
