1983-1991 Gavril D5 - BeamBloks Demo 1.0.d

It's a one-of-a-kind vehicle! Have you ever dreamed of absolutely obliterating a car you've made out of toy bricks? Well, now you can! The Gavril D5 BeamNG mod is a cross-platform project between Bricklink Studio (where I made the MOC build), Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game (where I made the 3D model out of brick fixtures on a invisible truck body) and BeamNG.drive. For now, this is just a demo, as I am preparing a much bigger vision for this type of vehicles. Here's a general roadmap of what I have planned for now:

• Version 1.1.d - add 6 more factory/custom truck configurations (I. Offroad V8; II. Street Tuned V6; III. Barn Find / "The Breakable"; IV. Deluxe V8 Automatic / American Spec; V. Deluxe V8 / V6 Manual / European Spec; VI. Bighorn / Ultimate V8)

• Version 1.2.d - add a custom-made brick utility trailer

• Version 1.3.d - add 2 more custom trailer configurations (I. travel trailer; II. air bagged trailer)

• Version 1.4.d - add 6 more factory/custom truck configurations (I. long bed V8; II. extended cab V8; III. demolition derby; IV. Surf n' Turf V6; V. Jungle / Safari V8; VI. Mad Max V8)

• Version 1.5.d - add 4 more custom trailer configurations (I. utility trailer design V2; II. heavy duty trailer; III. travel trailer design V2; IV. road train trailer)

• Version Release 1.0.0 [FINAL] - add finishing touches and fix potential bugs.

Here's a snippet from the Rebrickable MOC page about the vehicle:

"A smaller scale reinterpretation of the famous default blue truck from BeamNG.drive!

[...]

The D15 4WD [...] was the inspiration for my truck model. Since with this production line the bigger the number the better (D25 is larger than D15, D35 comes in the extended cab variant and so on), the D5 is the smallest configuration out of the whole lineup (it's shorter both in length and in height compared to the D15 and D10). It's also faster due to a considerable reduction of weight (2060 kg to 2002 kg). It features the same classic Gavril crossplane V8, but it has been tuned to make over 100 more newton-meters of torque.



Now, why does any of this matter? Well, this Gavril D5 MOC is actually designed to be a BeamNG mod first and Lego car second. When I created it I was severely limited to which parts I could use (that's why you'll not see a single 2x6 plate in it, they weren't available for me when I created the 3D model to then export it in BeamNG).

Now the MOC itself: it comes in three main color variants - red, tan and black, each with its own set of instructions. The vehicle has a total of 359 parts and each color variation was chosen wisely, as every part can be obtained through standard means. Unfortunately, the blue variant cannot be fully replicated in real life."
