Cab-Over Lego Truck

This piece (like most of my Lego creations) is concerned far more with the structure than with color. When working with leftover pieces and miscellaneous pieces, multicolored messes are to be expected. Upon the bestowment of more Legos upon me in the future, I will hopefully have a wider variety of colors to choose from when building.

This is a generic Mac with a cab-over body. 

 I used those pesky hing pieces that we all want to use but never have opportunity to. You can see them melded in with the front bumper. While they worked well for strength in the cab-over actions (as seen below), they unfortunately wrecked the tire-to-body scale. Usually the front tire would be much closer to the front. Ah, well, you can't win them all.

 The hinge pieces give it enough strength to lift the whole cab up and keep it up. If we look closer, we can see the engine. 

The engine underneath might be a little over the top. I think it would appear to be a V12, if that even happens in that format on semis. I will here add a clause that I am very unfamiliar with truck engines, and thus just stuck a racing-style engine underneath the cab of this truck. 

UPDATE:

I do tinker around with old creations, so since these photos were taken, there are a few new additions to the truck. 

The back fenders have become much more stylish, but more importantly, the hitch is actually functional now. I had to really wrack my brain to design a workable hitch that could handle hills and tipping and turning, but I finally came up with something that seems to work wonderfully.

Of course, making a hitch meant making a trailer to go with it...

Using the simple hitch that (I think) I invented, making other trailers for the Mac should be a lot easier in the future.
