LEGO model of RENAULT MAGNUM
                                   1:15

It was a nice day on Zlatibor (GoldenPine),where I was on a vacation.I was 
walking near the lake and I saw it:great looking and painted Magnum.I took
3 pictures of it.
Back home i started building it.I had limited amount of red and white
bricks, you can notice that by looking on the roof and some other sections
of the truck.But I am satisfied with the final results.When I look at 
my boxes containing Legos,for the first time sections with 1x2, 2x2 and 2x4
plates are empty,same for the almost bricks!
                                CHASSIS:
As you can see on the pictures chassis is based around a six stud wide box 
running most of the length of the vehicle.This structure ended up very 
strong,mostly becouse of locking it by adding 1x4 and 1x6 technic bricks
verticaly.No twisting or weak spots this way.
                              DRIVETRAIN:
The motor from driving the truck comes from set 4094 set clear case motor.
Reduction was 1:9 so the truck isn't fast,but it can pull lowloader with 
my JCB 160w wheeled excavator.
Placing the motor in such low-space frame was hard,becouse I wanted 
that the cabine can tilt and to have detailed engine,and also a gears and
another motor for steering was needed to be placed,all that under the space 
of the cabine!
So I put drive motor as low as chassis was.It was HARD to connect all that
all the way to the 20x30 wheels. 
                               STEERING:
The motor from steering the truck comes from set 4094 set clear case motor.
Of course, problem of no-space is still present.Solution was to place steer 
motor upside down so it can cope the gears properly 
and in addition, to act as a cab holder when it is not tilted.  
                               BODYWORK:
I don't have 2x2 corner round bricks so how to build edges?
For the first time I am building truck this size so it has to have some 
slopes on sides.Solution was SNOT so whole front section gone SNOT,with
lots of 1x2 and 2x2 sloped bricks 45 on edges.In that way I got a new 
type of connecting the doors.You can see results on the pictures.
Connecting slopes on the roof and front-faced bricks on the front was not
so hard.Nor the red stripes on the roof.
Doors can be opened and the whole cab can tilt.Dashboard is SNOT and curved, 
steering wheel adjustable,so are the seats.Interior is finished with 
gearbox stick, pedals and a bed in blue color.
