Miniland-scale Maersk Truck

Name of Model: DAF XF105
Created by: Mad physicist
Found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/madphysicist/tags/xf105/
Details: It's hardly news now that Ralph "Mad physicist" has built something awesome. Some of us only build occasionally, or stick primarily to easy things, but he's one of those people who can churn out great, all-original creations on a regular basis. Here, he brings us several great mosaics a container truck with tons of details. The Maersk lettering and other mosaic-style work steals the show, but there are many more subtle tricks as well. Highlights include the wheel wells (which use multiple hinge bricks), cheese slopes facing different directions to get the curves at the front edges of the cab right, and the fractional stud offsets on the top of the cab.
