Space Truck

When you need things hauled you call a trucker, when you need things hauled in space, you call a space trucker. I love the flowing lines and retro-futuristic feel of this intergalactic big rig by builder Robiwan_Kenobi, it would be right at home in a Jetson’s cartoon or the Fifth Element (with a considerable amount of grudge applied of course).

50's Tow Truck

For as long as there's been cars on the roads, there's been cars breaking down on the roads. And through those many, many years the means to rescue said broken cars has remained essentially the same, a tow truck. While there's been many types of tow trucks, of course the ones in the 50's had the most character, like this beautiful beast by redfern1950s2. It would almost be worth the repair costs just to see this baby in person doing what it was designed to do.

Coca-Cola Truck

Coca-Cola, Christmas and Santa are undeniably interwoven. Coca-Cola ads in the 1930's helped popularize the modern version of Santa, with his red coat, jolly demeanor and snow white beard. While they didn't invent this version of him, they did cement him into western culture. So seeing him on the side of this wonderful truck by builder Lasse Deleuran just says "Christmas" to me. The truck is also fully remote controlled thanks to an SBrick.

Flatbed

There's just something about vehicles from the 50's isn't there? I realize automotive designs are always in motion, and fads come and go, but there was something about the sensibilities of 50's design that seems so inviting and eye pleasing. Even something as utilitarian as this truck by redfern1950s2 feels like more than just a practical service vehicle, it's got character.

Autocar A64B

I don't know a whole lot about big trucks, but that doesn't diminish my appreciation for one that's well built. This Autocar A64B, the same truck used by Sylvester Stallone in Over The Top I understand, is detailed inside and out, right down to the fully kitted out engine compartment and stocked toolbox. Builder havoccnp took great care constructing this workhorse of the 60's and 70's, and it shows.

Kenworth Wrecker

Sometimes it's nice to visit an old friend, catch up on old times, size them up for flaws...then strip them down and go to work. Get your minds out of the gutter, I'm talking about revising an old MOC. In this case it's a truck that dates back from before BrickNerd was even a thing (henceforth known as BB, before BrickNerd). This Kenworth wrecker was originally build in 2013, but with the plethora of new parts, and a need to shave some studs and smooth some surfaces, builder legotrucks has brought her up to date. And what a beauty she is.

Trucking. In. SPAAAACE!

I'm not exactly sure where that meme comes from, but I'll use it nonetheless because it's funny. Anyway, sci-fi master Tardisblue is back with this awesome transport vehicle. Even though it's quite different from his usual spaceship builds, this truck is still fantastic. It seems fairly simple at first, but once you look closely, you can tell that there is some next-level brickery going on here. Just look at that diagonal caution stripe across the trailer! Awesome.

Peterbilt

When someone mentions "18 wheeler" you might immediately think Optimus Prime, but this is what I think of. Check out this huge, shiny and supremely detailed classic Peterbilt truck by builder jarekwally. This is classic trucking, the kind we were all fascinated with for some odd reason back in the days of disco. It must have been a combination of the movie Convoy and Smokey and the Bandit, but suddenly everyone had on a trucker hat and owned a CB, damn the 70's were weird. Check out the really nicely done video for more details.

Dark Omen

Behold LinoM's spectacular submission for LUGnuts' 8th birthday challenge. With a lowered stance, sideways hood, chopped roof and slotted fenders it's got an aggressive hotrod look. But that color scheme and inclusion of the guitar definitely gives this thing a more dark overtone. This looks like a ride The Master from Manos Hands of Fate would roll in (you'll probably have to look that one up, you're welcome).

"I Ain't No Mack, I'm A Peterbilt!"

Bricksonwheels is by far one of the best vehicle builders out there and never fails to please with his various trucks and motorcycles. His latest Peterbilt 362 is one amazing blast from the 80s that fits right in with the best of his creations. Look closely and you'll notice well thought-out details like the door handles, mud flaps and foot steps.

Scania R500

Admit it, when you first glanced at this you thought it was just a photo of a mondo truck huh? OK, maybe not, this is a LEGO fan site after all. But shooting this thing outdoors with a real background just makes it all the more realistic. But I expect no less from builder legotrucks. His trucks are always hyper realistic and HUGE.

That's A Big Truck

Flickr user bricksonwheels is a master of the large vehicle, and his latest creation is no exception. This Peterbilt Rotator is a museum quality masterpiece. It's positively packed with accurate detail and subtle techniques. Just look at the taper on the hood, the contouring on the cab extension, the brick-built graphics. It's beautiful, and the crazy thing is his previous vehicle (and the one before that, and so on) is the same quality. 

10-4 Good Buddy, This Here's The Shiny Shiny

I thought this was just a photograph of a truck. There's always a little rush of excitement to realize something you thought was real is brick built. I'm also a bit of a sucker for chrome, so this one packs a punch. I can't imagine how much was spent on custom chrome bricks but as far as I'm concerned it's a good investment, we all win.
