niteangel Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Some of you may have seen my Avengers Truck, and so I will make a little post about this MOC which was made quite some time ago :) Seeing the whole set of Avengers vehicles from Lego having only a plane (Quinjet) and a jeep (and now Nick Fury's car which I turned it into dark blue color to join the original color scheme), I feel it needs something a little more solid to complete the line. So I had the idea of a mobile command center, a truck. And it is coming! The truck built is actually quite easy, borrowing all the techniques you may have seen in different "great vehicles" from Lego City line. The back is built like in 7733 set. You may notice that the built of the truck head is different because of the height of the doors. I took them from the original Avengers jeep, and so the doors cannot be fitted in under the windshield normally. I therefore reverse the construction to make it work. The tail is a little different. I feel that the back bumper area of many Lego trucks are not well done. After many experiments I came with this 7-stud wide approach, giving it more solid protection and a more sturdy feel to the truck. Inside we have a a little command center with computers, and a gun rack at the back. No idea why Tony Stark always occupies that space for his suit transfer, but that can be the second use of the truck. (note the foot stand for Iron Man, the pointed piece indicates Mark VI suit which has triangle core at the chest; the other one is for Mark VII) The gun rack can actually be taken out (a little different you see here from above because recently I modified it :) the picture above is more recent). One can change the rack for different arrangements and types of guns as long as the width and height is maintained to be kept in the truck. I also modified the jeep as you see, because the original is just harmless! Now, the firepower is back for the Avengers! Hope you guys like my set! Edited January 27, 2013 by niteangel Quote
polyphonic Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Love it! Some great detail in the truck. The team of Galaxy Patrol guys work really well as SHIELD agents too. Quote
CF Mitch Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Wow, that is awesome! I'm not sure what I find more genius: the Command Truck, or the fact that you changed the color of Nick Fury's car from green to dark blue (why the hell didn't I think of that ) The addition you made to the pick-up is very cool as well Regards, Mitch Quote
Captain Nemo Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Wow, very nice set of Shield stuff! The truck is very nice, and the reverse doors are a clever building idea. And you've also collected a great set of dark blue agents to help out the A-Lists; great job! Quote
wazza98 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 As I said before, this is awesome! Damn that Fury looks awesome, I will have to get that set now! Quote
Hulk_Smash Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 These are great! I love the rocket launcher on the back of the jeep! How did you make that? Quote
becauseBATMAN Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I love the accessories.. the gun set up, weapons, etc Quote
refriedbeans Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Very, very cool! I wish I was a MOCer sometimes...(I also love all the light coming from that window!) Quote
Leo604 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Great MOC, I love how you managed to get the truck to open in a realistic way. Quote
kibosh Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Great idea! You pulled it off very nicely. You build fits in perfectly. And I love your mods to the Avengers jeep. That missile rack is perfect. Quote
Werlu Ulcur Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Absolutely awesome! I loved the small details you put in it! Quote
niteangel Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks :D I think it is easier for me to start from some original sets of Lego (like the transfer truck in 7733) so that the outcome is more realistic and believable. I have another idea which I may realize it soon, which will be part of the Avengers team to confront the supervillain Dr. Doom and Venom! Stay tuned! Quote
brodey1 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 That's awesome! It fits in perfectly with the official vehicles. Quote
Luke Styer Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 With all this cool SHIELD stuff you're posting, niteangel, you may need to replace that Star Wars blaster your avatar figure is carrying with that funky double barreled pistol that Nick Fury carries! Quote
niteangel Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 Yes indeed! I got this package from Brickarms and the Avengers will be replacing all the guns now! :) Thanks! Quote
Orsenway Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Oh，I love it. I want try to make one too！ Quote
