Previous bloggee Maciej Drwiega makes his third appearance in three months here at The Lego Car Blog with this superb 1978 Kenworth K100C Cab-Over Flat-Top. Maciej is rapidly becoming one of the premier truck builders on Flickr, and you can see this and his previous creations via his photostream here.
It’s the last day of 2013, so before we all get drunk to celebrate the arrival of another year, we thought we’d end the current one with a bumper haul.
Our final post of 2013 contains three superb trucks, found by both the Elves and you, our readers. First up is this stunning Kenworth hay-hauler, found on Flickr and built by Maciej Drwiega.
Next is a creation suggested by a reader via the Feedback and Submission Suggestions page, and one we’ve featured here before; Andrea Lazttanzio (aka Norton74)’s excellent large scale Scania 164G. Andrea has updated his model with a huge Nooteboom trailer and has captured it perfectly in several new outdoor photographs. See them all on Flickr or MOCpages.
And finally, because good things come in threes and it was also red and white, is Lasse D’s MAN 8×4 cement truck. Complete with Power Functions remote control steering and drive and a rotating barrel, Lasse’s Model Team scale truck is packed with functions and still looks brilliant. See all the photos and a video of the truck’s features on Eurobricks.
And that ends The Lego Car Blog’s coverage of the best LEGO models, sets and news from 2013. Have a great New Year celebration and we’ll see you in 2014!
So shiny…
This is a Kenworth W900 Heavy Haul truck, and it’s awesome. Custom chrome bricks mean the Elves can see their disgusting little faces in it, and Power Functions motors buried within mean it’s much more than a static show piece. The absurdly talented Sephirot8082 is the builder behind it, and you can see more of this and his other incredible trucks on MOCpages.
Best. Tow Truck. Ever.
This astonishing build is the work of Dennis Bosman aka legotrucks. The chassis cab is a Kenworth K100, with a Holmes 750 twin-boom mounted behind it. The Elves have been making ‘brum-ing’ noises all morning since this arrived in the office, and the chap who brought it in is something of a hero today. This is easily one of the most detailed MOCs we’ve ever featured, so in a vain attempt to do it justice here’s another photo, and not only the links to both Dennis’ MOCpage and Flickr pages (above), but also to Eurobricks where this truck has its own forum discussion…

Got milk?
Every so often a TLCB Elf returns to the office with something that makes us all stop. Normally it’s also something that warrants a disgusted outcry from the team and the Elf in question being thrown out by the ears. But not this time. This time the Elf earned itself dinner. Because this may be the finest, shiniest and awesomest truck we’ve featured yet. BricksonWheels MOC is the man behind it, and he’s surpassed even his own brilliant reputation with this incredible milk-transporting Kenworth K100. MOCpages is where you need to head…
Sariel’s Road Train
Sariel (Paul Kmiec) has already built some of the finest Technic trucks you can find on the web, and this one is no exception. Isn’t it one of the most beautiful Lego trucks you have ever seen?
But Sariel wouldn’t be Sariel if he didn’t add something unexpected and innovative. So take a look at this:
A perfect replica with all the usual goodies we would expect from a Technic model of this scale plus a few extras. This badboy has got some serious power. Consider yourself DUMPED!
