Another Swindle gives it's life for the cause here portraying a Site Dumper version of Longhaul in his G2 colours

I don't think I've ever seen any Construction Vehicles in Lime green in real life

Sorry to be critical of your work, but the Dump Truck mode is quite haphazard.
Come on and wind me up.

It's because it's a site dumper rather than a Dump Truck. Some compromises were necessary to capture Longhaul and to adapt to the Jeep mould but i think it captures the essence quite well.

it is on the bulky side, but Long Haul was a a bulky character in a way. it's an interesting twist though and it is always interesting to see the jeep mould being used this way. :up:

I like it. Granted, I tend to enjoy reshells a lot more just because of the range you have--primarily with Alt bodies. Everything fits quite nicely.

I like it. It's a unexpected twist on the jeep mold. That's the G2 paintjob, no?

Cheers that's right it's the jeep mould.

I went with yellow as Lime Green construction equipment isn't very common although I believe it was a signature colour of Euclid construction equipment at one point.
