Fast Gassin'
Built for Flickr LUGNuts 4th anniversary challenge to the theme - 'By Random Appointment' - Fast Gassin' is a Hot Wheels Custom truck model released in 2009. The vehicle was designed by John Violette. There are a number of colour combinations for this Hot Wheels model. The one chosen for replication in the green cab/chrome tank model - with colour substitution. The Hot Wheels model has "Fast Gassin" scripted across the tabk, here substituted with a classic lego 'Shell' fuel brick.
The lego model has been built in miniland scale to the original model. The exact scale is difficult to decipher. The front grille and fenders are common to the form of GM light trucks circa early 1950s. The cabin looks like a cross between a diesel haulage train and the rear doors of a sedan. The fuel tank is relatively small, but use of only two axles for load bearing indicates appropriate capacity.
Being built to the 'By Random Appointment' theme is always a bit scary, as you could be assigned anything - but is a great way to expand one's building experience.
