This is huge. You got to make some Lego boxes to go inside it.

Thanks Teddy, glad you like it! If you make one, design-in strength and rigidity from the off. Use studded beams for the chassis and lots of them.

Looks awesome!! Encourages me to make one of my own. Any tips?

I love the size of this, and overall the whole thing- 50/5!

Stunning! excellent details, the LEGO logo is brilliant. You are the greatest car builder i have seen so far :-)

I can't believe I've never commented on this yet!!! This is such a great build. The Lego (R) signs on the side are perfect. The lights are cool also. Your Union Jack is also really good!!! This has to be my most favorite Lorry on here! Good Job!!! 100/5

Prize winning Material ! Love the way you have grafted the Lego Logo on the side. Those old lego figures are not often seen any more and a suitable scale for this one. Very patriotic !>.....well done

Oh,how i have missed that!?This is truly excellent!The LEGO mosaic on the sides is just brilliant,and the techniques you used are geniusly done!Overall shape and details are excellent aswell!Great job!:-))

That is really COOL!!!!!

nice!!

Yeah, finally there are some of the photos back online! This truck was great, the Technic functions were just amazing and the mosaic a real piece of art. RIP massive red lorry. Anyway, great job, Nick! :-))

YAY! This is definately one of my all time faves, I wish it was still alive, it'd be perfect for storing your cars in :-) And BTW have you seen this yet? http://www.flickr.com/photos/detomaso/6851876289/ Made in one day lol

Booo I want to see it :-( I hope they manage to recover these photos! I love this Massive Red Lorry! How you doing? Are you managing to to get those curves on your D-Type? Not seen much from you recently so I expect you are. Can't wait to see it! I'm making good progress on the JPS transporter as you can see on my latest post, i'm very poor now though :-(

Hello! Thanks for commenting on my Fiat 682 Bartoletti (v. cool to be on Brickpop!). What I really wanted to build was the Ecurie Ecosse Commer though, but unfortunately I have very little blue. Which is where you could come in... See the link on the Fiat page - if you're interested it would help start the ball rolling : )

99 others like it, and so do I =) Great!

Yes, that was so funny.. fortunately, nobody was murdered in the making of this lorry! Good luck with yours - looking forward to it.

I know I already commented but I just "had" to do it again! As I said before, this an amazing MOC!!!!! It's so huge!!! And I love all the studs!!!!! I'm working on a "top secret" MOC right now, and it'll probably be posted in a couple months. P.S. Did you see Top Gear's lorry challenge?

Sweet! And I love the flag!

WOOOOOW !!!!! That's a very very cool camion !!!! I love it !!!

very cool :D

Real piece of art !!!

it sure is massive, wow, those battery boxes must be old, love it, great job

this is the greatest lorry i ever seen in my life

wow.... this is most impressive ! After going through all the photos, I can see that it's far more detailed and functional than it looks upon first impression, and you do a marvelous job of showing that you can make excellent, detailed models using old lego parts. I think this must be one of the biggest vehicles on the site. I'm not sure what else to say really - just wow ! - Dan

Kewl Lego Brittania WTG!

He Nick, Brilliant truck. Nice size to. It's suprising to see how many lego you have tou use to build big. When i am short of bricks i use bricklink.com. I would say... build a second truck to. Well done.

epically awesome!!!!!

O M G

Very awesome. I'm speechless.

wwo luv it

Love that LEGO mosaic!~H

Excellent !!! Good Job !!!

Very impressive work, I love the size and the details! The inside is a bit disappointing though, but I guess you ran out of parts.

v Congratulations, Nick! You really deserve it. :-)

... and now it's on the home page! Thanks again all..

Very nice job! I like it! Can you come see my u-boat?

Well, that was a hit! It's the first time one of my creations was illustrated on the explore page - for most of the last week. Quite a thrill! A big thankyou to everyone who commented on and rated this and I'm glad you all enjoyed it.

Haha! Not at all, Tom - it's always a pleasure to hear from you - I think it's only fair my next truck driver is called Tom...

Hey Nick. I'm checking in for the month and am delighted to see this from you. It marries your usual technic functionality with lovely styling details. You may have a future in mosaics. I think everyone should attempt a project that uses up all their pieces. That was the wittiest comment? So I have been wasting my time all this while!

hey nick! good to see something new from you! ok, i have seen a lot of trucks, some very impressive stuff like 16 motors and lights, everything done by distance ect... but, i m still impressed by your transmissions, and play of gears, and multiple functions, what the others don t have...a verry funny narration, some of the coolest parts lego ever made [and don t anymore] like those very cool wheels! as hard a critic that i am, i NEVER though it looked odd in any way, turns out, you re harder a critic to yourself [as i am!] great semi! the flag, mosaics, paint style, neat motors-bat pack emplacements, charming front with lights, and...super funny maxi figs! and don t think i have nt seen these boobs on the lola character lol! it s funny how someone could use belleville figs for technics creations! how original! great work nick!!!

The Lego Logo on it is pretty awesome!

very nice! i wish i had that many red bricks.

Haha! About 3 weeks in my spare time.

Halo Nick Barrett, The most awesome truck that I have ever seen. How long did it take you to build it? <<KEEP IT CLEAN>>

This truck is really cool! I like the size of it. :)

Cool, Greatest truck ever!

That is their official title, but everyone seems to call them Maxifigs.

Wow.By the way,I thought they were called Homemaker 'figs,not Maxifigs.

Fantastic detailed work my friend.I like all the little goodies around the vehicle.Absolute great.

Nice! I like the classic-LEGO style! Great job!

That is certainly one Ginormous Semit (er, uh, I mean to say, .... Lorry!) WOW

I couldn't agree more! Old technic is much more versatile - and you're quite welcome to post as many times as you like :-)

Wow

Personally I think a lot of old LEGO parts are better then the new ones. I like the old LEGO Technic better (though don't use it much) because you can attach LEGO system (to use the old term) directly to it. I also like the old hinges better, they are more compact, and the old tires were more realistic than the new ones. Sorry about the second post, wanted to reply to something, won't do it again.

Wow, that is one huge lorry, or as I say truck. It is hard to find anyone that builds with old Technic pieces. Fantastic work

What's great about it is not just the size but the fact that you made a model with an old-school type of build and it's magnificent. I love it!

Awesome work from A to Z. Total respect!! This thing must be heavier than a horse! (lol) I like your sense of humour too, I enjoyed reading your comments...

Must be the biggest truck I have ever seen in Lego! I think it migh even be too big for those gigantic large Technic-wheels...? Very rugged old-school build, with lots of old-school pieces! Breasts of Lola does not convince. Check out the breasts on the girl in my "Cadillac at the gas-station" build. Might not be to actual scale though...

Wow, this is great! I love every thing about it! The mosaics, the function, the fact that it is maxfigure scale (or whatever you call those figures)!

Thanks Tom. The other side is exactly the same.. studs facing out as well - it's all held together by a frame of technic studded beams. There's an identical mosaic too!

What does the other side of the trailor look like? I know it would be asking too much to expect another mosaic ;). I notice there's a likelyhood the studs are on the inside. Can't stop looking at it, The rear doors are genius...it's all genius :)

Looks great, if you can build a bigger one to fit a person in, I can send my gf away :D

Thanks Ryan - that's exactly why I built it.

Another great thing from you! I like the buildings with studs.

This is truly massive! It's the sort of thing I always wanted to build as a kid but never had enough pieces to do. The mosaic on the side is great and the details/functionality are fantastic. But most of all I live the style, it's classic Lego. Great work!

Haha! Yes, I can see it would clash and, worse still, I've never seen blonde Maxifig hair!

Ha, yes, yes, Atkinson indeed. Good. Good. No witty comment this time, because we have a problem: Lola is, actually, a Blonde. Definitely. So all this lorry, all red and massive, doesn't fit her eye colour at all, you have to know that. I am truly sorry, but I think the only solution is to re-do all it in blue. It would worth your pain though, 'cause Lola isn't afraid the slightest by big wheels. Meet Lola here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2947442

Crammed full of great details and features Nick. Good looking (Love the mosaics)and full of functionality, this the kind of set you wanted as a kid wasn't it? Great work!

Big nice truck! Impressed!

It's a winner for that sign alone.

Hehe, no worries, Oh and I forgot to mention, that Union Jack in the cab was a smashing touch!

Thanks Parrington. Yes, this was fun! Thanks everyone for the kind comments :-)

DUDE!!! Massive effort, this is a fun old build mate, cheers...

Really massive, massive in size and quality! love the LEGO logo at the sides of the container, the head is also well made, allover another amazing creation from you.

It's 26 studs wide and around 150 long (about 1.2 metres). It also weighs 40 tons ;-)

wow. this is the best Lego truck EVER! awesome details and shape, working steering AND transmission, what else you could want?!

Wow, it's massive! I like the lights and usage of the older elktric parts. You've gotta play with the cards you've been dealt my friend.:-) Also I love the lego emblem. :-)

Awesome! I love all the features. Great job

this is really good! looks like you put a lot of effort into it... awesome job!

Nick, this is amazing. The level of detail and working features are superb but I absolutely love the Union Jack in the cab, nice touch. Maybe you could make a Lego yorkie bar for Lola. This lorry is another fine example of your Lego engineering genius.

I haven't had too much time to comment on stuff but this needs it! Amazing, absolutely amazing! This must be the biggest LEGO truck ever constructed! You spared no effort in making every detail on this truck. I consider myself a good builder but I don't think I could ever build something so grand. Not just skill wise but the amount of time and effort this must have taken I wouldn't have the patience. Extremely good job, an epic MOC, in the top 5 if not first of all the MOCs I have seen. Why don't they have a 6 :) rating for something like this? I only have one question (besides that one) how long is this; can you post its diameters?

Wow, this thing is huge! Very well done!

Amazing truck! One of the best i've seen so far!

Amazing!

The title says it all! Great work love the old school figs!

Awesome rig, Dude! Great old school techniques and parts, all very familiar to me. Although nowadays I use those wheels for raptor engines...Great to see those old figs, too. Bet this thing weighs a ton!

This thing is a beast! A very magnificent beast at that! Great job!!!

Good God this is amazing. There is too much to say about this. I agree with the comments below; the technicality, the flag, the lock, the logo... etc. You must have biceps like Arnie just to lift this. However, you have missed out one crucial thing - A teddy bear stuck to the front;). Stunning Moc. PS. Arnie rules.

A brilliantly titled brilliant MOC. I can instantly tell it's your work as you have quite a unique build style, it looks very 1980s! Superb working features as always, and the Lego logo is excellent. 5/5 P.S. My 'massive red lorry' isn't too far off being completed either - it's not as big as this though!

Interesting... Lola... Oh well. All the functions are great, it really makes the MOC.

So do I :-)

L O L A Lola lol a. The mosaics are majestic! I really want to play with this!

Oh my wow! Moc of the day please! Love it, want it. Very good job, liking the figs! Cannot fault this, i could go on. I really want to make a transporter truck for all my exotic cars.

AMAZING!! So huge, and loads of details everywhere, and the UK flag in the cabin is a common sight in UK trucks! Good observation!

Wow - what a beast. Wonderful. The technic feature I like most is the lock for the back-doors - I have not seen something like this before. But the rest is also impressive. Brilliant as always.
