Road building machines

[Ribatagus]

Hi there!!! Here goes my first MOC for this seccion:

THE ROAD BUILDING MACHINES!!!

I was seak of so much dumpers and other sets, all the same... no new machines... so I build my own, "old school" style :D

or in my personal website (only portuguese version for now): http://vasser.no.sapo.pt/lego

This "MOC" is divided into 4 machines, but i can't say their names in english! Feel free to help give the right names for me! :D

This is the result of seeing some construction work in front of my workplace...as i was waiting for the transport home, i took pics... came home, and created them!!! it took me a week to finish it (one hour a day) but i loved the final outcome!!! Hope you like it, and feel free to comment!!!

Very nice and accurate, your street workers

Excellent work! *y*

Although I prefer the new 6-wide-style, that

Very nicely done Ribatagus. I give you two *y* up for your MOC's. I particularly like the Steam Roller. What parts did you use for the roller wheel? I have been looking for the right type of part(s) for a roller myself. In the US, your models would be a Road Grader, Steam Roller, Dump Truck (of course) and Paver. Model On!!

I like it. Is it Jeremy Clarkson with a red wig driving that roller? :-P

It is a nice grader and dump truck, but I like your paver the most. You rarely see that kind of engineering vehicles in this size of LEGO.

very nice! Lego company, are you listening? Grader and paving machine are great!

They're really "old style"... Perhaps they'd look even better with old type armless minifigs? :D

Great work creating the classic feel!
