Cat 789C Mining dump truck

About this creation

Caterpillar 789C Mining Truck, typically used in open pit mining, The 789 has a capacity of 195 tons, and its engine can produce 1705 horsepower.
This is a revamp of the truck I already had. I have changed the front cab and grille to be more like the original.

Comments welcome :)

Quoting Lego Junkie Very nice build Richard! What model of the 772 were you basing this off of? All the 772's that I've seen have the drivers cabin directly in the middle of the truck above the grille. Seeing as yours doesn't, I'd love to see another version of the 772 that I may be missing out on.

Hi, Yes you are right, this MOC was based on the 789C truck but I already had a decal with 772 so it ended up with that...I have changed the name and description...

Great model, still have build a dump truck like this, or the liebherr t282. But some how it seems I can only build shovels.

Richard, I have to mirror what Steven said. Your work shows a commitment to detail that I rarely see here. You make minifig scale into something amazing. This truck is truly fantastic. Regards, Eric.
