ROM 1
Inspired by a fleeting moment in Alien: Romulus, this build started as a "what if?" and turned into a deep dive into the unique design of the Sherp—a real-world all-terrain truck with a strikingly unconventional form. The biggest challenge? Capturing the complex front-end geometry, where real-life compound angles met the limitations of LEGO bricks. After experimenting with wedge plates (and failing to make the angles work at this scale), I settled on a combination of slopes and wedges for a compromise I’m happy with.
The windscreen was another tricky piece—angled steeply and seamlessly integrated into the 7-stud wide chassis, balancing form and function with clipped bar attachments and diagonally fixed tiles.
This project was a great reminder of why I build. With half-finished MOCs stacking up and time for creative projects shrinking, Febrovery gave me the push to take an idea from spark to completion. It’s not about chasing perfection—it’s about seeing a vision through, adapting as needed, and enjoying the process. Hope you enjoy the result!
