this is my first review

lets start with general details:

Name:prisoner transport

Set number:7245

Elements:98

Theme:City

Mini Figs:2

(I apologize for poor photos, i can't hold my camera still :-$ :-D and there is not enough light, if you want me to redo the pictures, i wouldn't mind, just ask)

The box:

not much details on the box, apart from showing you the multiple language stickers.

English:

Greek, i think :-) :

The hated stickers:

the stickers cover multiple parts and as i said earlier, there is multiple languages:

The Figs:

this set came with 2 mini figs, the driver/policeman and a prisoner (though the vehicle can hold 3 or 4):

(the 4x8 plate the figs are on, is NOT included)

Beginning Construction:

The pieces:

once you have undone the packets of parts, you should get something like this:

(i am going to take a photo every 3 steps)

The 3rd step:

started to make the lower walls and normally, city sets would put the axle's on first, this is different:

The 6th step:

mud guards, seat, steering wheel and base for back doors have been added, no axle's:

The 9th step:

side walls are higher and axle's get added:

The 12th step:

front lights and back doors added:

The 15th step:

Window, jail bars and and the roof connectors are put on:

The 18th step:

roof and siren are added:

The final step:

nothing much to say, apart from, one wicked complete set:

some general photos:

Alternates:

Conclusion:

A wicked set, ideal for young kids with pocket money

I say, Buy it if you can

Bye from the mini figs in this set, look there waving :-D

To put in photos you have to click on th top bar above the post box and there is a picture of a tree. Click that and copy in the url and you gt a picture. Or you just forgot.

BTW:the prizoner transport is kinda a small set to have a review on, don't you think?

No set is too small for a review ;-)

But pics indeed would be nice...

Even the street sweeper or airport mechanic are not too small?

Why should a set be too small to review?

If you just post one pic and say "This is the street sweeper" then it's kinda boring. But if you can tell what you like about it and have two or three pics from different angles or close ups then every set is good for a review. Just make sure your pics are clear, blurry pics are annoying.

Looks like your problem is you're holding the camera too close to the subject, try to take the pictures at least 1.5 feat away. Although it may not look as nice, taking pictures outside durring the day will give you the best lighting results, however, this is purely icing on the cake.

You also need to learn how to resize photographs, for which you can read the tutorial found here. :-)

He means you need to use the auto focus, look for a little flower like symbol on your camera and use that to get a much better focus.

Ouch those pics are hard on the eyes.....

where abouts is the flower?

i'll redo the pictures and update my brickshelf gallery tomorrow

P.S. i am planning to use this and the baseplate from the fire truck to make a stretched prisoner transport.

Amost all digital cameras will auto-fucos unless you press the capture button too quickly. But auto-focus doesn't do squat if you're too close to the subject you're photographing.

Hmmm......I think your over-reaction is a little too dramatic, Hobbes.........

Third: RESIZE! RESIZE! RESIZE! RESIZE! There's a tutorial about that on EB. Look for it.

Or you could just read my intial post. :-)

No, it's not. We've said that umpteen times all over the board. And if there's no drama in it he won't change it...

I have. Still, he's a notorious non-reader, the more people say he should resize the bigger the chance he'll actually do it. And his pics weren't just big, they were huge. And blurry. That's like double the size.

... my eyes still hurt... *wacko*

I just liked Vader's serious, concise, and very mature post better. It's not a big deal. ;-)

I think you're missing my point, I linked that picture resizing tutorial in my post and was directing that at Mr. Droideka.
