Hi all,
I posted some pics of a couple of town trucks I made.
The first one,
<<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=783119>>
has steering wheels. Note the realistic angle of the wheels, achieved using two
technic motorbike pivots:

The trailer has working stand, moved through the spare wheel. The spare wheel is
protected by a cage made with a couple od round bars. These are upside down,
giving this orientation to the whole trailer frame.

Not seen in the pic, there's a worm screw moving a 16 teeth gear, which acts as
a rack.
Also the Coke truck
<<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=783126>>
has a similar mechanism, but made in a simpler way. (There's a lever: one side
is lifted by the worm screw and the other side lowers the stand.)
No steering wheels, here, but I'll soon make an openable hood.
Please note that I took inspiration from here
<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=82608> for the tractor.
Of course I improved it
;-)
:-P

(last pics are older stuff ;-) )
Any comments are welcome :-)

| (...) And I didn't find them until four months after you posted them. But I'm glad that I did. These are great! Even if the truck with pivoting front wheels can't seat a minifig, it's still an excellent minifig-scale truck. The working trailer (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.town)
