As I said in my presentation, I like building everything with wheels. So today, I am going to present you my newest MOC. It's an american Ford E-350 E-450 (thanks Only Sinner ;) ) ambulance, and I was inspired by the L.A. Fire Department one. The real ambulance : And my version : Ford E-350 Ambulance by Dar2k TFOL, sur Flickr Ford E-350 Ambulance by Dar2k TFOL, sur Flickr Ford E-350 Ambulance by Dar2k TFOL, sur Flickr Ford E-350 Ambulance by Dar2k TFOL, sur Flickr Rear doors can be opened Ford E-350 Ambulance by Dar2k TFOL, sur Flickr The top is removable, and the inside is also detailed : Ford E-350 Ambulance by Dar2k TFOL, sur Flickr Ford E-350 Ambulance by Dar2k TFOL, sur Flickr Thanks for reading me.

fordtruckin Posted March 10, 2016 Very accurate representation. I really like it. What are the dimensions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dar2k Posted March 10, 2016 Thanks ! It's approximatly 21 studs long (~ 17 cm), 8 studs large (~ 6.5 cm) and 7 cm tall. It's a minifig-scale MOC :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodan Black Posted March 10, 2016 Very nice, my brother-in-law is a paramedic and drives one of those (though not in LA). I've seen them many times up close as a result and that one is very spot on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oppl Posted March 10, 2016 This is great, I love that design of ambulance and its nice to see it in Lego form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chubbs Posted March 11, 2016 Looks great and accurate! I want to do one similar but in white as that's what I drive and attend in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pirzyk Posted March 11, 2016 Wow! To me, the grill work is what stands out and makes it look like a Ford. One question I had for you is your choice of the white jumper brick for the middle light? I would have tried to put a Trans Clear tile there instead facing the other way. I would also want to light the model with a nice strobe effect for all the lights :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ER0L Posted March 11, 2016 Very nice! The best ambulance we've seen here for quite a while, I guess. It's all built very well (that grille!), but what really stands out is the snotted front of the patient compartment which leads to a wheelbase with an odd length. You don't see such things very often. I also love the rear lights with that nice offset. Really a beautiful model! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dar2k Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Thank you all for your kind comments ! I'm really happy you like it. One question I had for you is your choice of the white jumper brick for the middle light? I would have tried to put a Trans Clear tile there instead facing the other way. I would also want to light the model with a nice strobe effect for all the lights :) I know, irl, it's a light but in LEGO, imo, I find that the bottom of these new jumpers looks more realistic. ;) Yeah, a picture with strobe effect would be cool, but I don't havé this talent... :/ Edit : Very nice!

LettuceBrick Posted March 12, 2016 Amazing details, especially on the inside. The outside looks pretty good too, though I would suggest recessing the lights on the sides a little bit, as they seem to stick out a bit much. Other than that, it looks great!

MGCJerry Posted March 13, 2016 Indeed, probably the best Lego ambulance I've seen. Love all the little details, especially the interior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 13, 2016 Simply perfect! Top notch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted March 13, 2016 Wow, nice ambulance! Very accurate to the real thing (Although the one in the picture is based on an E450 commercial chassis), I know as I have been a volunteer firefighter. There a few companies that build these here in my town so we see a lot of custom vehicles like this. I really like how you did the doors and lights on the rear, it looks perfect!

Dar2k Posted November 2, 2016 Hi ! It's been a while ! Thank you all for your kind replies ! On 13 mars 2016 at 2:08 PM, Only Sinner said: Wow, nice ambulance! Very accurate to the real thing (Although the one in the picture is based on an E450 commercial chassis) Yep, you're right ! I made a mistake, I'll rename the title. Since then, I bought chrome parts on Bricklink to replace the LBG ones. I also totally redesigned the interior, so that it's more realistic.
