Although I have designed quite a number of Peterbilt scale models (without a doubt my favorite truck brand), I did not have one on display at the moment. I have a habit of disassembling models quite quickly after I finished them. With the Legoworld show in The Netherlands coming up soon, I decided it was not more then fitting to construct a new one.

I wanted to take a fresh approach on this truck though, and although on first glance it might look as a generic Bricksonwheels truck, this one is actually very different from others I made in the past. There is more detail, geometry optimization, and (for me) uncommon retro-style colors. I also stepped away from the common 24x43 wheels, and took some modern rims, also seen on dedicated showtrucks nowadays. Soon I will take some more pictures, and start work on a fitting trailer.

Our group of scale modelers will be present once more during the Legoworld event in Utrecht, NL, with an awesome booth from 24 till 30 october.

It has been over 3 years since I build something, but between many other occupations I managed to create something new! Finally, and this was actually a fun process. I once bought the original Harley 10269 Lego set, and although I liked it better then many other sets, it was time for some heavy Bricksonwheels customizing.

In practical life that meant changing about everything. I chromed the entire engine (thanks to Erik @chromebricks.nl), and relocated the exhausts. The reason for this was that I wanted to create a softail bagger; something not that common. I adapted the base frame from 10269, but changed it at many point to support two major elements: a very large custom 30” frontwheel, in combination with a lay-frame setup. This means the bike sits on its on frame while parked, lowering the air ride system.

I added the stretched bags, and as icing on the cake added a multiple LED lights, and two Brickstuff filaments to give glow on the engine. It is all supported by two batteries mounted in the fuel tank.
Als a big cheers to Rob @Brickstuff.com for supporting in this project.

Hope there is more in the future!

Visited Mats vd Brand and couldn't miss the oppurtunity to shoot the 1:11 Lego M3 with its 1:1 counterpart.

My first work of 2021; another 1:11 scaled rallycar of the 80's: The BMW M3. It is not that BMW has a big name in rallysport at the highest WRC level, but in 1987, the Tour de Corse was the first and till now last time they won a WRC event. The light and agile, rear wheel driven M3 proved to be the best weapon on the twisty tarmac roads of Corsica and Frenchman Bernard Béguin dominated the event from start to finish.
The car was prepared by Prodrive, later famous from the subaru WRC entries and GT3 Bentley's.

The Lego model is a one-off design, with about 2000 bricks.
The stickers are once more a great cooperation with my buddy “JaapTechnic” (www.jaaptechnic.com/), and are about as big an effort as building the car.
