Traxus Heavy Industries Cargo Transporter (Forklift) in detail.

Halo 3, 3 ODST, & Reach themed custom completed and originally posted March 2014. Close-ups reveal lots more obsessive attention to detail! For anyone interested in cloning it, the wheels were sourced from a Gremlin and Warthog while the front tires were from a MacLaren F1 set and the rears from a Need For Speed set. I forced the tires onto the rims. It was an ugly operation but it works and looks right. I looked to L*go for the forklift tines, the Technic lift arms used for the uprights, and the 1x1 round headlight tiles. I modded both an MB 4x5 modified roof slope by removing the attached 1x2 plates and an MB 4x4 modified auto hood/roof slope by removing the studs and then slotting the attached 1x1 plates to neatly wrap around the roll cage uprights. I also used CA to glue a 1x4 plate to the outside rear of each of the yellow MB lift arms. This facilitated the attachment of the 1x6 grey tile and yellow 1x2 double sided slope to each lift arm. The yellow parts were sourced from MB Cat construction vehicle themed sets. The dark grey and silver MB parts all came out of our spares bins.
