LEGO Guy Bri Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Hello again, Today I thought I'd go on and present my first MOC of 2013. After scanning through some Brickshelf, LEGO show, layout folders last summer, I saw a monster truck crushing a car. I love motorsports and I love big trucks, so I thought these would be a great addition! I purchased the wheels soon after and set them on top of my sorting boxes with a boat hull I also, have yet to work on. There they sat there until I finally started messing around with a design a couple weeks ago. Now with the finishing pieces installed, they are ready to be shown. Apart from the mediocre photos, (still haven't built a light box), I am happy with their over all look, size, and function. I hope you do too! All three share the same platform, only the last truck has a slightly different look. Chassis are color coordinated and flex naturally and allow for manual 4-wheel steering with the technic axles. I went with 8W because 6W seemed a bit too narrow. All three trucks feature engine detailing. While traditionally located in the mid-rear, these big blocks remain up front. Kind of a throwback to the beginning of these trucks. The green and yellow have the same engine. Due to the different front clip on the white truck, a different setup was needed. As a result, there is an nonfunctioning, "functional", air scoop. Like the real trucks, these all have smaller tires, for ease in transporting and moving around when not performing. Well I guess thats about all. For those interested, here is the link to the "Juggernaut's" album! It will have some updates, as I have ordered parts for a couple more. Questions, comments and suggestions always welcomed and appreciated! Thanks for looking -LGB Quote
brodey1 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 That's a very cool design. I think my favorite is the light green and black color scheme. Quote

LegoCityMann Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Reminds me of Thor, Captain America, and The Incredible Hulk. Looks awesome. ~LCM Quote
LukeClarenceVan Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Killer colour schemes, awesome work. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks for the compliments brodey1, lt, LCM, and LCV. The lime/black is my favorite color combo, as well @ lt: I reckon the red, white, and blue truck could also represent a number of other countries too. From France to the OZ, or any of these Quote
