Bricksonwheels Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 My latest creation is this 1:15 scaled Peterbilt 379 lowrider, with fitting 40ft Mac enddump trailer. The whole thing is 100% genuine Lego, including retrofitted electroplated bricks, so true chrome. Everything has full detail including lowered chassis, C15 engine, and cabin interior. It took me about 5 weeks of work on it. Same picture with 'ghostview of the engine (the hood is tiltable as well,but i like making these type of pictures in Photoshop: And with the trailer: And the rear view. I would have liked the tiles on the trailer all chromed, but it is quite expensive. It would look marvelous though i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bricksonwheels Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks for your comments! IS this a Lego kit or did you pull from thin air?? It is my build from scratch, like all my creations. I think like most of us here, i don't like building standard stuff. Marvelous indeed! I thought the Dutch were big Mack enthusiasts. Indeed, I guess that origins after the war when Mack trucks were a common sight in Holland. They are more or less a synonym for USA trucks here. Peterbilt and Kenworth are less known on avarage. I am a big Peterbilt enthusiast though. Edited September 13, 2012 by Bricksonwheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when are going to see a Cruiseliner, Superliner or Pinnacle Rawhide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricksonwheels Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Well, on my todo list is an Australian Bicentennial Mack Superliner. One of the late 80's limited edition ones. Those are great trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Wow... that's made up of Lego bricks? That looks so cool! I don't know what else to say but... cool! I wish my kit-based rigs would turn out that nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
