I don't know the right term, but this is very clever. Great use of
selective compression. However I haven't seen them with this type of
bumper--the ones in California generally have a different style. The
LEGO equivalent would be a stack of three 1x4 bricks with a 1x4 tile
printed with diagonal stripes on it on top, hinged at the base with a
1x2 brick hinge.

Very nice. Is there room for a minifig corpse in the back?

Brilliant idea. Reminds me of the shuttle buses that go from the
train station to my office.

I love the cherry picker design, this is the first I've seen that
design. You really captured the essense of it here.

Wow! Excellent model. 6-wide really is the right size for trucks. I
like the way you stacked the trans-red plates and tiles on the top of
the cab, very realistic.

This is very clever too. I think this one is my favorite. The
chipper is perfect. The way you used the thinwalls and the hinged
piece for the back of the truck looks just like the real thing.

Building in odd colors is always a challenge, but this came out really
well.

Great work!
I've got a big backlog of vehicles to post, myself. I'm hoping to get
them up soon...
