Peterbilt Heavy Haul WIP
Having built a lot of minifigure scale heavy haulage trucks from the UK and the Netherlands in recent years, I decided it was time to try my hand at an example from the US. The design is based on my US wrecker truck from a few years ago, but it will have a different (larger) sleeper cab, among other things.
It is loosely based on a truck for sale in Texas. I'm building the chassis using dark red parts. It looks great, but is a frustrating experience. In the background, you can see all the parts that fractured in the process. Since I took this picture, I have already added a small window in the door, like the real truck has.
I intend to build a low boy trailer for it and a Caterpillar bulldozer (probably a D9) as the load.
