Truck Design and Choices

My next step is to choose what type of truck design I want to model and subsiquently blow up. As seen in my moodboards I have look at many different tankers.

Bptruck
Here is a very common petrol truck withing the United Kingdom. This is a BP (British Petroleum) Truck, that has stopped at a petrol garage to refill. This truck is perfect for the design I am looking to mimic. However I do not like the front cab design and know that this cab design is out of date now.

Mercedestruck
Here is an image of a newer Mercedes truck cab. This cab design is more common at present and has a good visual design. As you can see in the image that this is just a test truck for mecedes and when they are bought by businesses such as BP they will respray them with their logos and colours.

As I liked the mercedes cab design my next step was to find really good reference with which to model from. I found some Mercedes truck blue prints. These were ideal as my model would then be perfectly to scale. As you can see in this image I have side, front and top views of the truck and have aligned them in 3D space so I can model accurately from all angles.
