Toyota Hilux 4th Gen (N50)
"It’s been drowned, it’s been torched, it’s been crashed, it’s been pummelled, it’s been dropped from the air, and yet it’s still running."
The Hilux is probably the vehicle I've had the most questions about, both on Flickr and in real life. And I did originally plan to upload it as one of the original 10, but I wasn't very happy with that version and at the last moment decided against uploading it.
You'd think that doing something as boxy as an old Hilux would be really easy in Lego, but I was surprised at how tricky it turned out to be. That bonnet, for instance, is at an angle that's too shallow for any standard Lego slope.
Also, there are plenty of pickups from that era that all look sort of similar, and making it clearly Hilux in 6-stud scale took me a while to figure out. It's still not perfect, but I'm happy with how it eventually turned out.
