Hello,

this is a heavy military truck in dieselpunk style.
It is lowered, has front, rear and side spoilers with winglets and an open engine which looks cool but is rather impractical for a military vehicle. The larger rear wheels make sense again because with them the truck has better traction.
To show its purpose it tows a flatbed trailer carrying an engine.
This truck is based on an artwork made by Andrey Tkachenko.
Since AngryDeathTruck and me liked the truck's appearance a lot we decided to each make a version of it in Minecraft and see how they both turn out. Make sure to take a look at his work, too.

Enjoy!

It's interesting to see, as usual. :) Also interesting to see the different thing that it's pulling along since you went with a different load to what it's based on which is a nice little change. Nice build. :D

Yeah, I changed the trailer and the payload because 1) I felt like only 2 axles would be too few for such a heavy load and 2) in Minecraft a simple cylinder shaped thing like the "Apollo" in the artwork looked too boring (yes, I made the Apollo first and then decided to change it to a tanker trailer and since that still didn't look cool enough I went for a giant engine that could be used in ships or submarines or so).

It was surprisingly difficult to find a trailer (with payload) design that looked good in combination with the truck. But that often is the case. Usually the tractor and trailer alone look good but together they don't xD

With all such things considered it'd seem you did a pretty nice job of trying to make a trailer up to make it more interesting within Minecraft's limitations. :) I do wonder what it looked like when you built it with the cylinder shaped thing on the back though, and perhaps you could add screenshots of other considered ideas which you redo as etcetera screenshots in uploads when they're present, like the Apollo? It may not really matter much but it can still be nice in its own way when there's a bit of diversity in the upload's details between the shots as well, even if some are simpler than others.

Interesting as well to know of that~. Never tried at building a truck after all so I wouldn't be aware of the usual trailer and tractor combinations not going well together; I'm more into terrain, more evidently alive organics, and structures in my own creations so I haven't tried vehicles enough to find out anything clear like that about trucks in my own efforts.

I didn't make a screenshot with the Apollo but here is one of the tanker trailer:



Why I don't put screenshots of unfinished vehicles or different versions of the same vehicle in the gallery is because I simply don't like it for some reason xD
I'd like to only have pictures of one vehicle in the gallery. I think it has something to do with maintaining some kind of order. But I'd never put the image above in the gallery, for example.

Ah, I agree that the finished one looks better so I see what you mean there. The finished one has a more consistent and fitting aesthetic to it so I think I get that. What I was thinking of may have been more like showing the vehicle with different trailers but still making them all seem fittingly aesthetic so that it then looks like it gets usage with various ones and so on-. Refining it into a single complete truck and taking screenshots of just the absolute finished project seems more effective though as I agree, and the tanker trailer screenshot was interesting to see anyhow.

The idea behind me not making many different trailers for the same truck is that I only make the non-interchangable thing (in this case the truck) and the variable thing (in this case the trailer) will be made by the person who uses the truck.
I cannot know what trailer someone might need and I can't build a thousand trailers, so I leave that to the person who uses my truck.
Also, I made this submission primarily to show the truck, not the trailer. While designing the trailer I even thought about only posting the truck because every trailer design seemed to suck.
If I wanted to show off a thousand trailers, I would make a trailer pack or so.

Sure, more variation within a single project would be nice, but to me the important thing is the truck. In that sense, I would rather make one trailer with many different trucks than one truck with many different trailers.
