Ben C Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Hello, I am new here on Euro Bricks, but I have been building for some time and I have started a Fire dept. I was wondering what I could improve on and what is liked/ disliked. There are more, I just haven't gotten around to taking pictures of them..

eurotrash Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) There's some really good looking Fire equipment and Ambulances in there, but it'll be easier for people to see them (and comment) if you embed the images I really like this one. Edited July 2, 2014 by eurotrash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to embed the images but it kept saying that they were too large. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted July 2, 2014 Resize them and you can post them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottwb2010 Posted July 4, 2014 Some impressive rigs you've made here Ben C. I really like the first two, the Rescue Squad truck and the Ladder Truck. Also interesting is the Ambulance with the crew cab. Are your builds based on real vehicles, if so it would be a good touch to maybe have a small info piece of what each vehicle is, ie make and type also what station they are attached to in your Fire dept. Can't wait to se more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ratshot Posted July 4, 2014 The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was "I want these right now!!" These are simply amazing man, the Freightliner actually resembles a real Frieghtliner...thats hard to do when your working on something with such a small model scale. The ambulance's stood out as well. I really enjoyed looking at these, thanks for posting them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ratshot Posted July 5, 2014 You definitely need to post some pics of your fire station when its done. Have you ever thought of building police cars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have some police cars but they aren't completely my designs.. Superb. Could be retail. I can see them flying off the shelves. I want to start a small company selling these but I fear it wouldn't get off the ground.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eurotrash Posted July 7, 2014 I want to start a small company selling these but I fear it wouldn't get off the ground.. Have you considered Etsy? Low cost, low overheads. Here's a link to one of the shops there https://www.etsy.com/shop/ABSDistributors Or there's always a eBay or Bricklink shop option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
