6 Wheeled Land Rover Fire Appliance

[danim]

Here is my MOC of a 6 wheeled fire appliance based on a land rover. I got the idea after realising that after I broke up my old fire truck that I did not have a ladder truck and the rough design comes from a land rover that I saw last year at an airport in england.

and here is the insperation

MODS please can you add MOC to the front of the topic title

Nice try.

It's a bit long.

I would say shorteren the body to suit the front end of the truck, but I do like the concept. We are getting a 4x4 fire truck in with the fire copter next year, so I guess something like what you have would be very handy fighting a scrub fire or attending a vehicle crash along side of that.

Thanks for the comment

Most of the 6 wheel land rovers are very long and based at airports

I have modified the front to be slightly longer and being 6 wide rather than 6 wide.

I will post pics of the mod later

Hello,

It has nice lines, front is nice, but it is very long!

I think it can be easily shorted by 25%

The main problem is proportions of the width and length!

It may be better visually if you had build it 6 wide, all the way.

When I take a look at the photos you provided, I see that the main body of the Land Rover is the same width as the back part of the vehicle.
