Coo'. I like the front- I've only ever managed to achieve that sort of thing on bigger vehicles, like halftracks and space jeeps. That little handcart is rad.
...and that's how Equestria was made!

I echo this statement.

That is a sweet van! You always amaze me with your simple-yet-complex designs and the overall look of your MOCs. Very well built indeed.

Awesome, especially the front. Even with the minifigure next to it the driver's area demands a closer look to see that he can fit in there. Love the windshield effect too.

The scale and design demands a stop-motion film of a LEGO monkey stealing the van, flinging it's contents (and bananas) across Legoland while being pursued by the LEGO Police.

Really cool; nice detail here. The use of all plates for the back door evokes that flexible/corrugated look nicely.

Postal workers here (Santa Rosa) wear light blue shirts and what look kinda like flattened pith helmets; but nice fig nonetheless.

Edit: And I forgot; awesome little hand truck, despite the cut tubing.

Postal Van? It's tiny... more like a motorized cart.

Looks great, love the front design. Postal van's are pretty small compared to regular cars so I'd say its pretty good for a lego version.
