   I’ve tried a couple of times to build one of those. But I could never come up with a satisfactory design for the cab/windscreen.

It’s the combination of the flat windscreen and the small side windows that makes it tough.

This is the best one I’ve seen so far.

Anyone want to take on the challenge and co-design the thing? Jonathan? Pierre? Masahiro Yanagi? Martin Jaspers?

I have the bricks and the rescue body if someone has a suitable 6-wide cab design.

I’m not on the list and it’s actually seven wide - six looked too small since it’s such a big looking truck. It started off as six so it should be easy enough to convert back again if you like

Let me know if you want to use it or not. If not I’ll finish it off myself.

Thanks, Tim!!!

I’ll second what Jonathan wrote ... It looks awesome! And the attention to detail is incredible!

I’m a Mac user, so I don’t have the software to download the instructions. Any chance you can post some instructions as jpegs?

Pierre also submitted an awesome design, so I think I’ll be using the best from both and calling it a 3-way collaboraton. Expect to see photos after I make some Bricklink purchases. :-)

Thanks again to everyone for their help. I’m always inspired by the support I’ve had from other AFOLs over the years. Reminds me of why Lugnet is my favorite place on the web.

P.S. Tim, I think you should go ahead and finish it. After seeing your work, I’m curious to see how you approach the rest of the design.
