I like the design LT, not so sure the colour combination works though.

My pick would be an all white cab, or even yellow if you have the parts.

Green and white are my council's colours.....though I would go all white but that's a bit boring isn't it ! legolaugh

Thanks 'MBlue', I'm still working on the changes to it plus a road roller unit as well. legowink

I agree with Xyver, nice design, but the colour scheme just doesn't seem to fit. Maybe it's more the grey of the tray which is the issue.

Sadly can't change that but since a few people don't like the green I find some white parts and try it.......still think it might look boring and ho-hum. legolaugh

Aware of that, they recently came out with that CITY Dump Truck which I have. Maybe you could try green and grey instead?

No, I'll go all white....cheaper, only need to find three white parts to convert it over....cab wise that is ! legowink

Update a.s.a.p. keep watching ! legowink

That looks heaps better now, I really like it.

Thanks and I like it better this way too.....it actually only took twenty minutes to toss this version together......it will be an Isuzu truck.
Problem is I must replace both tipper and Kmart recycle trucks....oh, crap another 60 bucks down the tube.....oh well that's life ! legolaugh

Yep, that version looks quite a bit better. I still think green/grey would be better, but white/grey definitely looks better than the previous design.

by **Lightningtiger** Tue 23 Oct 2012, 12:14 pm

The white gives it a real road repair crew vehicle......keep watching !

That's a neat little trick. You always give me so much inspiration, but I never put the finer details into my work like you do.

Can you post a photo of the inside of the cab, just curious how you put the two minifigs in.

by **Lightningtiger** Fri 26 Oct 2012, 4:12 am

I'll try and photograph it tomorrow when the wife is off getting her hair coloured........must cover up the dark roots and a few greys....oop's who said that..... legolaugh

Oh, they are both sitting on a 2x4 tile and under the old car doors 2x1 panels.....there are some of the clues to my trick and this will not be the last vehicle I will do this to neither ! legowink

Keep watching ! legohappy
