 | | New MOC: 10 wide Peterbilt Model 379 Truck with Trailer —Bram Lambrecht
|
| | | I finally finished this truck after working on it for a couple hours almost every day for a week and a half. The truck is approximately the same scale as my 8 wide cars. Before you mention that it's all studs up, look closer at parts of the front (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, lugnet.modelteam) !!

| | | | | Amazing piece of work! Great work of detail for this rather small scale vehicle. The dashboard, seats and sleeping area look cool and very detailed, and even the engine looks like the real thing. As with all your models, everything is openable and (...)

| | | | | (...) G'day Bram, Wow, that's a wicked model! I especially like the details you put into the trailer doors..., I can say they're very realistic as that's the view of a rig that I most see on the highway! ;] My only two comments are: - the wheel size (...)

| | | | | (...) really cool uses for elements I hadn't thought of - love the silver spears as the posts supporting the rear view mirror hinges and the 1x2 rails you used for headrests.

| | | | Bram, Once again you show us how it should be done (ack, now 8 wide trucks seem to small...!). The trailer looks perfect (can't quite see... how does it attach to the tractor? Does it allow for vertical bending for hills??). I really would like to (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)
