Farnheim Posted September 11, 2014 Hello everyone, time for some retro again . I wanted to show you one of my latest creations. But it’s been a while since I completed it. Anyway. It’s a very special fire apparatus – a tanker truck. This one is in service for a refinery company fire brigade in the city of Farnheim. The trailer is filled with 23,500 liters of foam and serves as a logistic feeder or as a distributor into the water network at emergency scenes. This tractor-trailer is not able to start fire fighting operation on its own, because it hasn't any pump or a water cannon installed. You always need a pumper, too. I used the same building technique for the tank that I used for another small foam truck (shown below). It gives a sleek and clean design to the hull. It also allowes to put on a two-tone paint scheme with some intergrated details like lighting at the rooftop, flashlights a the rear end and side markers. As for a little personal touch I clipped on a german flag (a reminiscence of the Soccer World Cup back in July). And its little brother: Hope you like it. Thanks for watching. Critics & comments are welcome as always. Regards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LAKAbricks Posted September 13, 2014 It's always a joy to see your 4-wides, Farnheim. I am always torn between the classic 4-wides and the newer 6-wides. But you certainly prove it is possible to make detailed, wonderful-looking 4-wides. Of these two, I especially like the "little brother". I remember a similar truck from my childhood.
