MOC fire engine help?

[lifirefighter]

Ok so I realize I'm an American on a European board, but has anyone MOC'd an American Pumper or Ladder(they are vastly different in construction from our counterparts worldwide--except maybe canada)? I was looking for some pointers to flesh things out (i.e. MOC stang/deck guns--hosebeds, intake/relief valves etc)--I was going by the rig that I am assigned to, however some things are not translating.

I currently am using the LDD to work on it but its slow going.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

(also if I stuck this in the wrong section I apologize)

Thanks!

Well I made this a while ago...is that something like what you're looking for?

Also check out s-asbury's Fire Rescue gallery *wub* . Edit; Great minds think alike, eh?

Here's a good example of an American Pumper:

The brickshelf library

What size do you want to build it in? 6, 8, or 4-wide? and what wheel size? 8-|

I have a gallery myself, feel free to use some ideas from my Ladder 1.

Or you could check out this guy, NBFD841. *wub* He's my big inspiration. :-$ Man, he knows what he's doing. :'-)

Hi!

I tried an American fire-engine myself some time ago, it's in eight-wide and has five 9v lights build-in.

(Just click the image)

Please post your moc when it's finished, I'd love to see it, good luck!

Your American Pumpers look so impressif and big (like almost of things from US) for an European like me!

Nice trucks Simonwillems and UniqueBuilder! *y*

Gee, you're talking to me as if I were an american! :-P I just don't like those small sissies we've got here in Europe! X-D

Thanks btw. :-$

And Simon, I noticed a mistake on your fire truck. On the front, the sign that says "NYFD" should say "FDNY" instead.. X-D ;-)

It does? I must have overlooked that and thought it was like NYPD (police) but fire (F) instead of police (P)

Thanks, I'll change it. :-)

Nice truck! Those are some very cleverly concealed lights, and I love the letter tiles too, great idea. Although I miss the "100 feet". :-P

I prefer this kind of vehicule:

Twingo on! :-D

So, Lilfirefighter, how are you doing? Pictures maybe? :-)

It's always fun to see how a new "Fire engine freak" builds it his own way. X-D

Here is my version of a pumper.

Holey moley, MDoyle! That's WAY too big pictures! 8-

It's not allowed to post pictures wider than a regular screen. :-/

Unless your name was once Vader316. ;-)

MDoyle, check this out: Resize tutorial

Unless your name was once Vader316. ;-)

I don't get it..?! :-P

[mdoyle]

Hey the reason they were so big is because they were the un resized deep links from brickshelf. Problem fixed.
