Farnheim Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Hi everyone, this is my usual quarterly post here. ;-) Just kidding. Note to myself: Post more often on EB! Now to something completely different. I did a few new Mocs during the cold and dark december days. Let's start with something for my petrochemical refinery in my town: a dry powder fire truck with 6,000 kg of solid extinguishing agent in two huge tanks. The next one is also part of the petrochemical fire services. It's a huge tanker truck that brings 23,000 liters of foam to the scene. BTW, actual I'm not really happy with parts use of the ladder at the rear end. I have a few ideas, but the required parts are actual out of stock... As a feature it has a tiltable cabin. For those who wonder: the big pipe behind the cabin is part of a portable water/foam cannon. The third one replaces an old van used for technical assistances. This one features, beside an 4WD, a lot more space for equipment in the compartments. The volunteers of the municipal fire department features a special task force to light up scenes at night. Equipped with different floodlights, a power generator and portable lamp posts. The volunteers can be deployed all over the city and its surroundings. Another small truck of the logistics group And finally a small "Unimog"-look-alike truck that is now part of the FD's historical heritage. Built in the late 1960s (note the old paint scheme) to support the firemen in need of technical assistance, e.g. car accidents, incidents on and beside the water. The last point is the reason why it is equipped with wide sand tires. That makes the truck able to drive on loose terrain, like on sand, dunes or mud flat. Hope you like them a bit. Critics & comments are very welcome. Brit red regards! Quote
Bornin1980something Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Incredible! Perfect classic town look, but with more detail, and great use of pieces from all eras to make something even better. Most convincing tilt cab I have ever seen in Lego, how did you do it? Quote
tkatt Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Wonderful builds! Great mix of old and new. Quote

coghilla Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 awesome amount of detail in a 4 wide chassis that i struggle to get into 6 wide. Well done Quote
Farnheim Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Thank you all for the kind comments. I really appreciate it. @ Bornin1930something: I did the tilting with some clips, brackets and modified plates to get the engine mockup with these 4 round 1x1 tiles done. Here are two photos that shall illustrate the parts use: Hope that helps. Quote
StephenCole Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 These are awesome, can't wait to see more :D (Also first post, hi :)) Quote
Firebrickbuilder Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Great work again, makes me want to build in four wide again. Quote
