Trash Truck (Netflix)

Thanks so much for the incredible support and feedback on the Trash Truck project!

We built it. For real life.

After scouring Bricklink for dark turquoise bricks and raiding the Lego box for odds and ends it all came together. It was supposed to hide in the cupboard until Raffa's fourth birthday, but we opened the pantry at just the wrong moment....

"Is that Lego Trash Truck?'

"Uh, no thats just...uh...chocolate?"

(*Hastily pulling out some chocolate as a diversion, Raffa remained fixated on the pantry door.*)

"That's Lego Trash Truck!"

"It sure is, buddy."

'Thankyou so much wow I love it so much!"

Raffa has certified this model as awesome. My previous assumption that it would survive a few drives off the kitchen bench, however, quickly came undone. We've made a few changes under the hood, reinforcing the base, wheels and interior.

The new pictures show the actual model, driving around the backyard. He's a bit beefier around the hopper and a lot more sturdy. Definitely whooshable.

There's only a week left to hit the first milestone, and we're so close! Once we hit the 100 mark, I'll have more time to go through and update the instructions to reflect the current build. It also means we can do the Trash Truck Christmas Special in December! Huge love and thanks for your support!

Honk-honnnnnnnk!
