As I have said on the Facebook page, Awesome job! Really looks good!
Heres a recommendation, Cast the body and make kits and sell it to people. Lots of money to be made there sir!

Thanks for the compliments guys. I haven't had much luck with casting so I'll have to pass on that. Besides, I kinda like my stuff being unique. ;)

sick water truck nicer then most 1:1 water trucks in my area water trucks are 30+ years and in bad shape its rare you see a new water truck
Remember when it comes to equipment the older and more obscure the better
A Cat 225 will beat a 320EL hands down

Had a thought about the faucet's on your truck. Have you thought about using either HO or N scale Model Railroad freight car brake wheels ? Would be pretty snazzy details.

FiatallisHD41 that's an interesting idea. Those would look pretty neat for something else but I'll stick with the levers on my truck. It's easier to turn a 5 inch ball valve with a lever. Ajax I probably won't be making any more of these, I don't have any more tanks. This one is Legos wrapped in styrene.

This truck is amazing. I would of never thought to use Legos to make the tank.
