MOC - 8 wide truck and trailer

[selfshot]

Hey everyone,

This is my first post under city/town forum, and here's my 8 wide truck with it's trailer. I tried to replicate the new-gen trucks like Scania's R730 and alike, this is the result of it :)

Truck itself;

With the trailer;

I don't know how many pieces it has as i am not really an LDD builder. Trailer consists most elements from set #3221 as you might have guessed.

The trailer could have been 1 brick higher to make it look better and more realistic i think, but i ran out of pieces of matching color. Truck itself took 3, trailer 1 evening for me (working guy).

I am not a big fan of city sets, more of a technic/power functions lover, but i loved working on this kind of a model, so you might expect more "minifig scale-ish" stuff from me for your cities :)

Sorry for the quality of the images, had to take the pictures in the night time.

Hope you liked it and i will make this in LDD if anyone needs.

I particularly like the Diesel tank you've got and the lower sides of the Trailer. Looks good, although you're right about it maybe needing an extra row of bricks on the Trailer. But you could always turn it into a Container and get the additional height through the base plates.... Just a thought.

I like it!
