Perfect Paint

Leave a reply


TLCB’s home nation likes a neatly painted truck. Most trucks are still plain white of course, but many firms go the extra mile with their visual identity, painting their vehicles in beautiful colours that hark back to the days of horse-drawn carts, canal boats, and traction engines. This is one such truck, a Volvo FH12 operated by Newis heavy haulage and constructed superbly by Flickr’s Ralph Savelsberg. There’s more to see at Ralph’s photostream and you get your brushes out via the link above.

It’s time for some double Volvo goodness here at TLCB, thanks to the super-talented TLCB regular Damian Z. (aka thietmaier).

Damian’s latest builds are a Volvo FH12 truck, hefty three-axle low-loader trailer, and a wonderfully life-like Volvo EC240 excavator, each of which has been both built and presented beautifully.

All three builds demonstrate stunning attention to detail, with some brilliant building techniques used to achieve it, and there’s more to see of Damian’s Volvo truck, excavator, and the trailer that allows one to transport the other at his album on Flickr.

Lego Volvo FH12 Truck

Silos are a common sight on any farm, used to store and dispense grain, animal feed, and er, …poo. One of the ‘net’s best Technic builders has taken the unusual step of building both a silo and the mechanism for erecting it from Lego Technic.

Sariel‘s Volvo FH12 truck and  Silo placing trailer were discovered by one of our Elves on MOCpages, where Sariel details his build and includes a video demonstrating the placing mechanism in action. See more at the link above.
