MOC: Toyota Hilux, 6th generation

[Matija]

Here is my first attempt to make a non-minifig-scale car. With removable canopy!

Since the original was green, the model had to be too even though the part selection was quite limited (well, actually it was supposed to be dark green, but that would have been close to impossible to make).

AWESOME work 'Matija', I wonder if a minifig scale one of these is possible ?

Keep up the excellent designing 'Matija' and Brick On !

Like I already said on Brikkelauget: It's brilliant, and for a first attempt at this scale it's amazing. Well done.

EDIT: And by the way, I just realised that if you'd built it in yellow, you could actually have used this part in the middle of the bootlid :)

That's a nice car. I'm not a car specialist, so my question might be stupid - is this some kind of special model for left-hand drivers (such as UK, or Australia)? The position of the steering wheel is what caught my eye. I admit I'm no expert... In respect to the model, green and white combination looks great, and the seats in lightbluish gray look stylish. Great work!

This is really very good. The colour combination works great

If you look at the pictures of the original car, the one the LEGO model is based on, you will understand (it is from New Zealand). Other than that, I don't think there is anything special with that model, but I'm not a car expert either.

Ah it seems we have a 'cast off ' from the town section .

It's very realistic,well done.

Really awesome! Now we see, why you are a PRO!

I saw it yesterday on BS and in caught my eye not only because it is in my favourite colour. Great details!

I have trouble understanding how this suddenly ended up in the Technic forum... there's not much Technic about it.

It's also the Model Team forum, I think that is what made the moderators move it here.

Ok, I'm really beginning to mislike BrickShelf. It's the third time today that they've removed the pictures of the original car, even though it's nicely put in the same folder as the LEGO model, and there is a good reason for it.

They did that to me when I had a reference picture of a Cessna Plane in a front yard of a house which I did a MOC off.

To get around it I now add reference pictures inside the MOC picture.

^^^^ You need to give up posting comments like this, it does nothing for the builder, and is just a pain nuisance for the reader. On the other hand, the car is great, with the limited amount of parts available.

ALl it needs is an outboard and a hull and you can enter the competition.
