James,
Looks cool. I had thought about using one of those windows studs
forward, but I couldn't make it look right. Go figure, it looks great on
your model. Two quick questions: (1) why the garage doors? and (2) why
the asymmetric windows on the cab (one side has a 1x1x1 clear and a
1x2x1 clear thin wall while the other side has just a 1x2x1 thin-wall,
or are those 1x2x1 clear bricks?)
Thanks for sharing,
Chris
