Apocalyptic Lorry WIP

Yeah, another huge WIP by Tac. But this will be HUGE, my biggest creation yet. It will measure around 120 studs long and will have 14 wheels, countless spikes, guns and even a wrecking ball.

Update!



-Credit goes to Jens for the whip idea!-

So far:



You can see all my comments and notes on Flickr.

A couple of notes:

When I get enough I'll BL some brown tiles and grills to replace some bley ones like I started doing on the wheel. ;-)


This whole thing will be built in sections that will fit together using some bionicle or Exo-force joints.

This is back bit, (I need to do this on the other side then put a 30x?? plate down the middle. On the very back I might put a mounted gun. ;-)

The next bit will be where my tank goes, it'll be mostly open with some gun/turrets somewhere.

The final lorry bit will be a bit like this, on the top will be the bigger turret and a wrecking ball.

The final bit will be the cockpit where the driver goes, this is where I need to BL some spikes.

Dang, that's going to be big! Do you mind if I use the idea of the cannon thing in front of the mini fig?

Sure! The handlebars are held on by BA U-clips.

I would rather use the rail-gun thingy.

But anyways, that will be massive! You must have a lot of money (and bley cheese wedges) to buy all those parts from BL.

Pretty nice so far.
Wrecking balls are win.

I expect the usual Tac-work here, which means, it should be AWESOME! Looking good so far.

Gosh Tac, another giant bley monster. At least you added in some brown this time!

Updated!

ZOMG! It isn't all bley!

Yes Tac, it's all bley and brown!

Is brown part of the color code or is it supposed to kinda look rusted?

Probably rusted as the brown is in random places. Unless he meant to have it like that............

Thats what I thought, it looks cooler like that.

Rusted.

I'm going to make the wheels black, do you think they would look better?

Honestly, how much bley do you own?

I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Make the edges of the wheels black but leave the middle of it as is.

I think that the middle of the wheels should be black an leave the outside like how it is........it's your choice though.

I already told you this is awesome. The brown is a nice touch, keep it up!

I'm glad your keeping it with some brown, it looks more realistic. I think you should make the inside of the wheels black, I think that would look quite nice.

Minis FTW!

If it looks that good in mini version, I'm sure it'll look better when its big! Another epic!

What is a BAU clip, the one you used to hold the handle bars on with?

The name says it: BA U-clip.

BA = BrickArms
U-clip = clip in (double) U-shape.

Any new updates or pictures?

Well, you'd see them by now.

No, I finished this wall bit but until I get some Xmas money I won't be able to BL any more parts, plus I'm working on a Halo diorama.
