Been a while since ive built anything.
Pulled apart 2 trailer i had build, inc container trailer was on the Mack Anthem (i didnt like it anyway) Finished the B trailer today, took about 5 hours of sorting through 2000 odd bits. Racks on it fold down and also all 3 axles steer, not sure how, but its linked to the A trailer. Here it is coupled to the Volvo FH16 ![]() ![]()

Very nice.
That can't be a Volvo. The cabs not tilted.

I have 3 Volvos at the moment
FH 4x2 and 6x4 and a 1990 F16 8x4 I love the look of them to be honest. I love the lego trucks, just wished lego would release more, almost all my trucks are something someone else has designed.

maybe a stupid idea ,,,
but air inlets for air-conditioning. Bent down so they dont suck birds in and get updraft from windscreen.

Spent this morning at Brickvention and decided to drop a lazy $1k on the Titanic set from The Lego Store afterwards. Looks like it’ll take at least 12 hours to build.

I bought the Eiffel Tower on release a couple of months ago, the box is almost the size of our oven. Not sure when I'll have spare time to go assemble 10,001 mostly-grey-pieces, but when I get around to it, it should be frustrating yet rewarding. ![]()

So i purchased the instructions for this B double combo a little while ago. I disassembled the trailer from my Mack Anthem, and another trailer i have.
I started the B trailer ages ago. Thought id make a start on the A trailer today. It just needs the racks and wat not built. The b trailer has some strange steering set up linked to the a trailer so it steers, which is a faff. Doesnt matter its only displayed anyway. So once the B trailer is finished ill start looking at what i can build with my mountain of spares to load the trailers. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Finished off my Volvo B double, few parts the wrong colour but what ever.
Really need some stuff to load it up with (to scale also) Will probably faff around with it and add a few bits here and there, as it was meant to be built with spares from just one set so limited but i have heaps of parts. The trailer airlines seem to work. Needs some from a to b trailer also. ![]() ![]()

I was in Melbourne last month and i spotted it for sale in a lego store. Nearly purchased it myself. I reckon it'd be an amazing build! Nothing new from me at this stage.

Hey guys, I’ve just stumbled upon this thread.
I’ve got a few sets kicking around. Some are fake but I’m not fussed. ![]() I had lots as a kid and passed it into my nephew when he was old enough, unfortunately he didn’t like it and it was thrown out ![]() It all started again when my daughter got me the space station for Xmas a few years ago. From there the other space sets came along and now I’m hooked again ![]() This is a the LUT Lego was “going to” release after meeting the appropriate numbers for production but they never did ![]() ![]() The quality is not as that of Lego but it looks the part and has all the moving bits and was half the price ![]()

Yeah it’s finished now, and it’s easily one of the best sets they’ve ever released, both for the build process and end result. It’s solid as a rock and very accurate to the real thing. The hardest thing is finding a spot to display it. It’s huge! Lego has been getting crazy expensive lately, but this was worth every cent. |

I follow this bloke on Instagram and he posts a bit in some lego groups im in on Facechook.
I built his 1990 Volvo F16 8x4 So many of his trucks id love to build. This is a work of art. Again i wish lego bought out more trucks, rather than the rubbish they are at the moment. That new Peugeot racer is horrible! ![]()
