About this model
This is by far the largest model of this site. The trailer is extremely heavy and can only be properly pulled by trucks sporting XL-motors such as the Renault Magnum.
The mechanism is straining under the heavy weight of this truck, so do not expect it to work flawlessly.
I recommend using these building instructions for insight into how to construct 12 wide spheres with half-stud offsets.
If you still plan to build it, then I wish you best of luck.
How to build your own model
