Fishee Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 My goal was to create something aesthetically similar to the current line up of CiTY vehicles, but packed with as many functions and details as possible... while maintaining a realistic part count. Construction techniques include standard stud on top mixed with studs not on top (S.N.O.T.). Parts include a mix of standard, sloped, solid, transparent, technic axles and connectors, and notch hinges... Details include: 4 axles, 8 wheels Detailed cab with speedometer, coffee mug, loader control lever Manually operated loader mechanism with steering wheel control for forks and tilt Opening top hatch for garbage entry Opening rear for garbage dumping Tilting garbage hold with friction ram Fuel and hydraulic tanks Lots of realistic little details like hazard lights, front and rear lights, warning bar Dumpster with castors and opening lid Driver Rat Broom Part count: Truck and driver: 362pcs Dumpster: 45 pcs Total: 407 pics Dimensions: Truck: 32 studs long (with forks folded) x 6 studs wide x 8 blocks tall Dumpster: 6 studs long x 6 studs wide x 4 blocks tall Also up on Ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/69972 Thanks for checking it out!

Fishee Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 This is my second MOC since coming out of the dark ages a few months ago. Total design time, approx 30 hours. Lots of refining for functionality and structural integrity. Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Wow, that's huge....nice digital design there 'Fishee'.....good luck with it on Lego Ideas......Brick On LDD On ! Quote
Only Sinner Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 This truck is wonderful! You don't see the double front axle very often, so I really like the unique details like this. Quote
grum64 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 You've done an excellent job, it's very impressive. For the second time today I find myself using the garbage truck from Jakes 7599 Toy Story Getaway set in my comment. I know yours is 6 studs wide and the 7599 one is 10 but I have to say that I prefer the proportions of yours. Top marks also for your choice of colours. It looks great. Quote
lugnut Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 This is an excellent build with nice functionality! ... any plans to build it with actual bricks? Quote
Fishee Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks! I've ordered about 50% of the parts for the build, but some of the pieces are a bit tough to find... Will eventually be built. Quote
mrjennesjr Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I am quite impressed with this. Would you ever consider releasing the LDD file for others to enjoy? Btw, follow me and others I follow on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/139060732@N05/ I myself am planning a huge project that includes 29 vehicles and almost 5,000 pieces. Quote
Legoboy22 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 very nice build indeed. One small problem.. This does not fit with the city line because its so much better! Fantastic job again. Brick on Quote
catch2x2 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) I really liked the Lego City garbage truck 60118...... until i saw this. Wow. It's brilliant!!! If you ever consider releasing the LDD files I'd love to have a look as Im itching to build this for real now. Brilliant - congratulations for designing such a great set Edited July 4, 2016 by catch2x2 Quote
Legogal Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Nice truck! Great color scheme. Makes me want to play with it! Quote
LegoManTroy Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 This should become a set because it looks so good... Quote
