The Complete Unit: The Truck: The tools carrier: The Detection Robot: The Motorcycle: Enjoy!!!! Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Great job, but how many people fit in the front and back of the truck? That robot is really cute too1 Nicce work. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Great H. Unit 'frogstudio' Love the design of the truck and kudos on the robot. Really nice job on that. How does it roll? Keep up the great work Quote
gcanik Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Totally awesome design, very well done. Love the hazmat storage tray (great idea using a stretcher) and love the hazmat robot. But where are the trash cans to dispose of the waste or collapse shower stall to wash off after being exposed to the cruddy stuff. Great design and implementation of it in actual LEGOs. Quote
Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Brilliant work here! and crazy good stickering on a few elements. Quote
frogstudio Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 Thanks to all for your comments!!!! Concerning the questions: "Great job, but how many people fit in the front and back of the truck?" Actually, it fits one driver and all the equipment in the back... so I guess two of the hazmat guys will have to walk (at least until I've got pieces to build a car or I can get my hands on two more motorcylces)!!!! "Love the design of the truck and kudos on the robot. Really nice job on that. How does it roll" Though a bit tight, the rubber tracks actually roll... :) "But where are the trash cans to dispose of the waste or collapse shower stall to wash off after being exposed to the cruddy stuff" If I only had more pieces!!!! :) Quote
Pilotdude Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 As ypu can see by my 7 posts im a newb, but I am wondering where you got that orange mtorcycle shield peice. Quote
frogstudio Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 As ypu can see by my 7 posts im a newb, but I am wondering where you got that orange mtorcycle shield peice. The orange cycle comes in set 7686 - Helicopter Transporter (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=7686-1) :) Quote
Syn Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 That looks fantastic!! where did you get all that orange! it looks so good!? and those stickers look almost like they are original from Lego, the are your own design right? Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Excellent vehicle 'frogstudio' and your stickering....what material do you use ? (me, I use photo sticker paper) The only issue I have is the bike, it's rear end - a little too wide and that red brake/tail light should be centred not to the left. But apart from that an excellent creation and lucky you with so many hazmat guys (my son got his first only yesterday). Brick On 'frogstudio' ! Quote
prateek Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Fantastic! I really like this. The equipment cart, the robot, and the motorbike really bring it all together Quote
frogstudio Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Thanks all for your kind comments!!! Concerning stickers, all of them are custom designs (made in illustrator) and are printed on autoadhesive vynil with water resistant dyes(in the same way commercial stickers are printed). I still cant's get the orange right, so, I'll be re-printing the stickers on transparent vynil in the near future... :) Concerning the orange bricks, the truck is done basically with one 7991 Recycle Truck set + some pieces bought at bricklink. The only pieces which were hard to find were the 1x1 orange headlight bricks... Cheers!!!! Edited May 1, 2011 by frogstudio Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 A wonderful HazMat unit frogstudio! I was already impressed with your previous HazMat van before, and it's really nice to see additional elements for this unit. The motorcycle is a good addition, but it's the HazMat detection unit that I really like a lot. Just curious though, I just noticed now that the orange color of the truck is very much different with the HazMat gear color. Quote
dr_spock Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Awesome job. Looks great. I don't think it will be too comfortable riding a motorcycle while fully dressed in SCBA gear. Quote

I don't think LEGO has any other bricks in the color of the orange hazmat guy... or at least not a wide variaty... :) Quote
Out of Sight Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Now this is what I call 'official MOC' :thumbup: ..MOC which is so well executed it looks like Lego made it! Great job on the stickers too...some purists might hate them to death, but as for me I like them, stickers actually push the detail boundaries of a creation and emphasizes it's role even further. Yours is a great example of my point! Is there an interior shot of this truck? I'd love to see where all these gears, crews and that wonderful robot are put once the truck moves to and from the hazardous location. Quote

FabuFabu Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Wow! This is very nice, a cool idea! I want to do something like this too ^_^ Quote
Janel Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 This set totally ROCKS! My hubby now wants me to create a hazmat team to clean up messes in our city.... lol Quote
Mrcool1804 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Great job! I really like the front end of the truck. I looked at your Digital Design and that too is very impressive! Quote
Mr Benn Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Brilliant van, but favourite part of it all is definitely the robot. You need to have one of the guys with a little remote control unit for it, so he can stay at a nicely safe distance... either that or a trailer on your truck with a little control 'office' in it with control panels and displays and such :) Quote
