Super Tow Truck 1572

Good Morning to All

I just got bored myself with other models so decided to do something quick.
Something that won't need to be accurate to 'nth degree but would be fun and done in about a week.
So let's go with it, most tiring thing first, the wheels.

Now to the chasis, and the windscreen.
As it is quite difficult to homemade transparent paper I use the plastic bottle from some well known manufacturer.
Unfortunately it wouldn't hold folded on it's own so I use office stapples to keep it in shape.

Back to the chasis and some details.

And that's it...
Lego set 1572 from 1986 done. On the last pics with older mate from set 6363, from 1979.
It was easy as I have most of the parts done earlier for 6363 and Mech II ACAV (this build is in Other Builds).
Only the wheels take the most time, but it's doable without losing sanity.
In total 23,5 hour and that in about two weeks.
Tragedy, if I wasn't lately so lazy I would done it in less than a week.
But still with a 11 month kid roaming in the house...

Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

That was a quick build.

I like the sort of Lego type build style!

And have a Great Christmas as well!

I'm glad You like it.
Unfortunately I enjoyed this model only for two days.
My son snatched it from a table, where I thought it would be safe.
By the time I get to it, 3 wheels were gone.
I extracted fourth one from his mouth in semi liquid form.
Well, there has to come this day that he will destroy some of my work and I'm glad that it happen to such a simple kit.
Anyway, I have the parts, and already made the wheels and new windscreen.
If again I'll get bored with some project then I'll finish this one.

All the best, never underestimate 11 month kids ')

You can get even by waiting until he is in high school and then tell his girl friend the story of how he ate the super truck when he was 11 months. Or better yet, use it as a threat to get him to clean his room.

I did like the truck. Nice work.
