Road Roller

Hello,

this is a modern roller used in road construction for compacting ground or the pavement after it was layed by a road paver.
I also have an oldfashioned Steamroller.

The problem I had while building this one was, that real rollers are so frickin' detailed that you can't possibly put all that detail on a (nearly) life-sized roller in Minecraft. That's why it might look somewhat overdetailed.
I bet you didn't notice that rear mirrors are missing. I tried them but they were too much. They just didn't fit. But in reality they're so small, you don't notice them anyway.
So, in my opinion it's not that big of a problem.

The minecart in the cabin can be accessed from the outside, so you can actually enter the cabin and pretend to drive the roller.
But, you don't get out of the cabin without breaking blocks or switching to spectator mode. So, be careful.

Enjoy!
