    Thanks for sharing the build and the pictures. That is an amazing build!! I think I like this better than the steamer and I loved that.

    Thanks, guys! Glad y'all like it!

    I'm really happy with the results as well, though I need to take a break from Lego for a while. Got it ready for Brick Days on the 22-24th, at least.

    Oh, here's one for you, @snapspinner:

    debating to add another layer of bricks to get more head room in the cab over section. thinking not because of the added weight
    also need to design a door for the main entry. and a ladder for roof access.
    ditched my original design as it was too narrow on the interior (added 2 studs total) and once I got the cab over section added the rest of the interior seemed way out of scale with the rest. easier to start over for the most part, I kept the lower most section and that was it.

    anyone know how reliable the "stability check" in studio is? so far it's telling me the cab over is good

    Just saw this on Reddit:

    Yours with the rounded edges is looking much better.

    That's not bad! The curved bits that I used are the same ones used for the fenders on the truck. Wanted to make it more streamlined than that but brick options are limited and I was losing too much interior space.
    I thought about adding in the jacks on the sides but I would have to use smaller bricks at the front corners which would compromise the structural integrity for the cab over.

    Also had this pop up on my IG. Show truck version of the pickup

    Some cars showed up this weekend from Target. Buy one, get one 40% off. (And a F40 from BrickLink)

    Then more came home today... and more en route later this week. I may have a problem.

    Get a duplicate of the Ferraris and the Lamboghini Countach...those seem to be the only ones which have a holographic serialized brand sticker on the box.

    I'm looking for "Architecture" models. Any reliable (trustworthy) vendors on Amazon that you guys would recommend?

    Also, what program are you guys using to design your projects?

    If buying from Amazon, stick with Prime vendors and you should be ok.

    The program is Studio or Stud.io from www.bricklink.com

    Bricklink is now own by the LEGO Group and has one of the widest scope of LEGO stuff available: MOCs, Designer Program, sets, parts, instructions…

    I’ve graduated from the 80’s bedroom poster on the wall. I now own a Lamborghini. feels good and even paid cash.
