Hello,
This is my a truck I built over the weekend. It uses much of the the Mack
style cab design developed by Tim Gould late last year. It is a design I
really like and I am using it in forthcoming vehicles in a variety of colors.

I am thinking the back container section is a stud or two to high but I am
apprehensive about removing the 3 sided curved elements because I opened NISB
Millenium Falcons to get them for this MOC. Maybe a dopey move on my part.
Comments always appreciated.
Best,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I don’t think the back is too high at all. And I think the curve looks awesome.
You’ve really captured the shape of the rear perfectly. Overall this looks
excellent.
I especially love the greebles on it. They really look garbage-y. Great work
doing the cab in dark green too. Confined space use of rareish colours can be a
real pain.
Now for some pedantry ;) It would be really nice if you could fit some
mirrors
on it. My suggestion would be to replace the snotted 1xN dark green plate(s)
just under the cab by 1x1 plates with clip horizontal (6019) and from that clip
dark bley or black lightsabers with a couple of clip tiles attached and rotated
to suit. It would also have the benefit of distracting from the neccessary (but
slightly unsightly) edge to the panels for the windscreen.
And it needs a driver ;)
Tim
PS. And excellent work on the Post Office.
