March 13th, 2015: Big Shiny Truck

[xoxoxoBruce]

If you're ever in need of a full-sized replica of a big truck with twenty two people and rearview mirrors which play videos of traffic in London, Mumbai and Dubai, you're in luck. Valay Shende can, and has, whipped one up by welding pieces of stainless steel together in only 18 months.



Haven't been able to find out how many pieces of stainless but it's a lot.



Colossal says,

Shende conceived of Transit as commentary on a dramatic rash of farmer suicides in India over the last decade.

Considering it's stainless and huge, I wonder what it weighs, and what kind of underpinnings it has... but that's just because I'm weird.
