Introduction
This truck was made in a 90's style in order to avoid suing 6532 set which is too "light" for me. I wanted a long-nosed truck, and as I ordered concave 2x2 slopes, I thought is was time to use them. The tipper design was for me a brick-built solution in order to fit perfectly with the rest of the truck. The main problem for me was the front, as I first placed a 1x2 brick with grille design, but as I got 2x2 tile with grille pattern, I thought it was the perfect use for it. There is a lever to empty the tipper.
Creation content
This creation contains a tipper tuck, a driver, a shovel and two traffic cones and 20 stones.
Scenery
The scenery represents a scrap dealer with some broken cars, the Pneumatic Crane is destroying a car in order to recycle it. The scrap dealer vehicle is bringing a rusted 6629 ambulance.

Excellent MOC!
I sometimes think how to make new original front of the vehicle out of classic bricks and it is pretty difficult now. You have made one of such though. Nice one. The container is nice idea also. I love you've made out of normal bricks only and it is still functional. No need to make one big part :) You could probably make it one plate lower thanks to usage of wedges. It could be a bit better that way. It seems a bit too high now. Anyways, great vehicle and construction site. Congratulations! | |

Indeed, this is a fully playable creation. I love the front, this tile is fantastic. I will see if I can get more of them in other colors by custom-printing them.
What do you mean by lowering the dumpster? You mean lowering it by making it nearer the wheels, or do you mean remove one grey plate to make its sides lower? Thanks a lot, I hope seeing some of yours sceneries and creartions soon. :) | |

Yes, I mean to lower it by making nearer the wheels. As far as I can see you can remove one black plate under the hinge of container. You would need to add one grey plate near the cabin to make it higher, but it could work :)

At first, I lowered the dumpster by removing one grey plate and it was not so good.
But your idea is very good, I tried it and it's better like this. Thank you for your good advice. | |
