lightningtiger Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Since my Aussie town is finished for the moment (except for a little bit of photography in a day or so), and I'm working for Avalonia....I thought a quick Town Plan style vehicle was in order. I might have to get two classic town fire fighters to go with this.....looks like another trip to Toy Corner for me. Comments and suggestions welcome. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Nice creation 'lt'. The mods to the back suite it very well, keeping that 50's look. Keep up the great work Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks 'LGG' for your comments, I might consider a tow truck next. Quote
Dakar A Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 A gas truck would be pretty cool in this style. The kind that carries propane, not petrol. Like this: Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks for the comment 'Dakar A', but I already have the TP set's petrol tanker.....that truck pictured is modern not 50's-ish ! Anyway, in a few weeks I have a few more TP style vehicles and that building done too ! Avalonia Forever ! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 A classic tow truck would be awesome! (I like older tow trucks better than fire engines) I'd love to see one. Any color ideas or is it just a pondering thought? Quote

Any color ideas or is it just a pondering thought? Well, I'm going to base it on the 1958 HO scale tow truck. Avalonia Forever ! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 The 58' HO Lego truck? That would be real neat. Talk about an updated version Quote
The Batman Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Very impressive Fire Truck, love the detailing on the back !!! Great MOC 'lightning' !! Keep Building Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks for the feedback 'Batman' and 'LGG', I'll try and start the tow truck tomorrow.....oh, yeah what does everyone think about a 50's Yank cop car eh ? Avalonia Forever ! Quote
The Batman Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) oh, yeah what does everyone think about a 50's Yank cop car eh ? Avalonia Forever ! Are you refering about this type of 50's cop car ?? Or are you refering to the car's with the wider body ?? Edited November 18, 2011 by The Batman Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Actually something like this..... Avalonia Forever ! Quote
The Batman Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Yeah so kinda like the first picture !! 'Lightning' I have this video game, It's called Mafia 2 you might have heard of it 'Lightning' or maybe not !! But Anyway the game is set in the 50's in Amercia and of course the cop car which you play on creating is closly similar to the cop car within the game !! Now there was a feature in the game I believe it was like a car showroom type thing, and what you could do was you could view cars, and you could zoom in, rotate slowly or whatever you wanted to do !! My point is if you looked on Youtube or maybe you have this game, using this Car Showroom feature, I believe would defintly help in creating a close realistic 50's cop car !!! Wow that was the longest post I have posted here on EB !! Phew Quote
bootz Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 I love this firetruck LT, though maybe it could use some stickers? It looks a bit plain. As for the cop car, I say DO IT! I've wanted to build a good looking 50's car for a while, maybe you could give me some inspiration. Quote

Thanks for the comments 'Batman' and 'bootz', now the stickers - since this theme I have started stickering can only be genuine Lego sticker designs to be used.....hence I haven't stickered the car dealer yet.....but I will once I find the right stickers. Keep watching as I hope today I can start on the next vehicle (the diner/barber's shop is still going to be finished). Avalonia Forever ! Quote
Darkdragon Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 As you have read already, great firetruck. I like the details and remembering to include the little cupboard/door on the side for the tools. Cop car sounds great, I love 50's cars (American cars anyway). Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks 'darkdragon', I might actually take a short cut and build another blue car as a black & white police car....I'll try a few designs out first to see how they look. Avalonia Forever ! Quote
