Bricksonwheels Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 After more then a year this combo is complete now. In scale 1:13 this combo is completely build out of genuine Lego bricks (about 17.000). As an addition many where chromed afterwards in an electroplating process, becoming truly chromed. This truck is mildly based on the fleet of Eilen trucking. The rig is a Peterbilt 379 with extended hood and C15 CAT engine, also heavily chromed. The trailer is a MAC half round enddump.
BigBad Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Looks great as usual!! Looks like you made the trailer out of a disco mirror ball! Pretty darn awesome.
Truck parts Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 WoW!!!!!!!!!!!! That's way to cool looking. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!
Austin T Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Looks like it was a tad bit harder to make then the Lego kits I had as a kid. Very nice job on that.
Bricksonwheels Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 Thnx all, indeed a bit harder Austin... there were no building instructions, and 10000 bricks more
Blackwolf Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I have to agree with the rest its way cool but I have one question do you all use the clear coat before the windsheilds are put in or after the rig is completed then spray the clear coat. Thanks for info.
Bricksonwheels Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 I could not answer Marcus, As Lego does not really have proper genuine windows this size i don't use them. In fact i don't glue anything normally. A new picture, with the trailer attached:
Bricksonwheels Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 Took it outside for a few pictures. although in the Netherlands, it looks like a USA scene now (Except for the Scania LT146 build by a buddy of mine) I also liked this shot of my scania 143 Streamline :
Bricksonwheels Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 Thnx Chuckyr, indeed I do, that K100 is from a friend of mine, a fellow Lego builder, we sometimes take pictures with our models together: We are both Dennis' so that is sometimes confusing Currently we are both working on a rotator. Bosman on a K100 with Century 1075S, and I have the same unit on a 379. Both in 1:13 scale. They are quite massive!
