Giant Truck Remake
I saw an amazing remake of 5580 on Rebrickable and it reminded me of my love for another Model Team set. I remember drooling over the Giant Truck every time I saw it in promotional material, but I never saved up enough money to actually buy it. Considering it's been retired for a long time now, it's pretty rare and when the price has skyrocketed. So I built my own version. I used my Peterbilt MOC as a basis, but many, many changes have been made to make it match the original set. I think I got many of the details, but I couldn't figure out a good solution for the ladder that would fit in the space required. In order to make it match the more modern stud-less sets, I smoothed out many of the surfaces, but kept the studs on the lights as an homage.
Instructions are up on my Rebrickable page!
