What do you think about it?  Is it too simple?

That's a good truck.  I like how you did the back wall of the cab!  If nothing
else, working in microfig helps you think "outside the box" and come up with
innovative new building techniques.

I was also thinking about making a trailer for it, but failed to find a
simple way to connect a trailer and still let it be articulated.  Any
ideas?

How about:  a 1x2 plate with arm (LD#4623) on the trailer, a 1x2 plate with 1
stud (LD#3794) and a 1x1 tile with clip (LD#2555) on the back bumper of the
truck.  It's not anatomically correct, but it would allow the trailer to swing
from side to side.

Cheers,

Some time ago, I thought: Why should the space fans have all the fun of making microfigure scale models? For those who don't know: Microfigure scale is anything smaller than minifigure scale. So I thought about making a wheeled vehicle in a scale (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)
