Hi all,
We’ve had a builder in over the last few weeks renovating our house. He did a
fantastic job working around our crooked old house, and I knew he has a five
y.o. son, so as a bonus ‘payment’ I made a version of his ute and trailer
(complete with all the accessories including an esky and compressor) in Lego.
He was very pleased with it, but I don’t think his son’s going to get to play
with it much :)
I made it in classic Legoland style ie. it’s 4 wide, which was an interesting
change for me, and features a flat tray with drop sides and a covered trailer
with working doors.

Nice work!
I’m a bit concerned about the colour choice... IIRC 98.3% of tradesmen’s utes
are white! ;-)
The dropsides are inspired, and the compressor is a masterpiece of minimalist
design.
My favourite part is the trailer though... a classic design, and executed in a
clever way
Cheers

When I make one for myself I'll make it in genuine white. For extra authenticity (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
