Why doesn’t the 4883 Gear Grinders set have 6 big tyres instead of only 5??!
I’m a bit disappointed because now I had to use 1 extra tyre to build this
American truck:

I’m not sure if it has the right proportions of an American truck because I
don’t see that many around overhere, so LMKWYT...
(Sorry for the extra part)

Hi Nathanael,
Looks great! There are some clever SNOT elements you’ve included with it. It’s
really neat how you used the Wedge 4 x 4 x 2/3 Curved
(see Peeron) to give contours to the
sides instead of having flat “walls” on the sides. I also like how the chrome
pieces provide some nice accented details.
I see many “American Trucks” on my way to and from work everyday and I think
you’ve captured the form quite well.
This MOC reminds me of how much I can’t wait until 4883 is available for
purchase in the US. I was disappointed today to see that it’s not in the new
catalog. It looks like they’re going to make the US wait a long time for that
one like they did with 4886.
As for using the extra part... no big deal. I think you’ve done enough amazing
100% alternate MOCs that it would be hard for anyone to complain about you using
1 extra piece :-). If I’m not mistaken, is that the same big tyre (or “tire” as
us Yanks say) as the one in 4100 Maximum Wheels?
Regards,
Paul
