(My dad was a trucker & I'm still daddy's little girl at heart, lol).
The log truck is probably my favorite, just because of the little details in it (even though I cheated and used real wood for the logs, rather than Lego)... the spare tire, the grill guard, the green and black paint job, the day cab... I love the little logger. Lots of details to find.
I also really like the lowered, red and black extended sleeper rig, just because it is so different from the others. I have a matching enclosed trailer planned for it. I think its going to be cool when I'm done with it.
But, for overall aesthetics, the red rig with the reefer trailer is my favorite.
I also have a grain trailer planned for the white truck... the flat bed will move to the black truck when I do that... the black truck is currently trailerless, since I have built a triple axle rig for the lowboy, since those pics were taken.
The unfinished blue and white rig will likely become a dump truck... I haven't really decided what I want to do with it yet... I just like the color scheme.

The blue & white could also be a cement mixer...

Re: Lego
It's interesting that this came up actually. I'm planning on getting JP lego for Christmas. He wants lots of the stuff and it is soo expensive. Especially in the quantity he wants. So I'm currently on the look out for a bargain. I think he'll be perfectly happy with second hand lego, so long as we give it a good wash first: I've sen what kids do with lego.. *shudder*夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?

It will be random assortments... but it is the cheapest way to build up your collection quickly."Don't ever miss a good opportunity to shut up." - Harvey Davis "Gramps"
