Very impressive model Tim!
Maybe you should ask LEGO if they where able to make up a set from this
creation? Or they could make up a designer type set from this: I am sure you
could come up with nice alternative models: most bricks seem to be quite common.
A handfull further bricks and you have endless possibilities.
My favorite detail on this is the dark grey window framing in SNOT in the back
of the driver's cabin.
Only quewstion from my side: why have you not used the 3x3 rounded corner plate
under the window of the cabin? These gaps in the dark grey stripe look a bit odd
for me.
Leg Godt!
