Nice firetruck, that is one long ladder though!

[lightningtiger]

AWESOME firetruck, but that ladder fully extended is a worry........but a great design - Brick On 'Hypo' !

I always love how European Fire Apparatus looks so oddly stubby to the North American eye. And that is a wonderfully rendered truck.

Very nice

Everything about the truck is awesome! I love the 7 wide front bumper, ladder platform is great and overall look is just spot on!

[rogul]

i feel that the ladder could be longer!

[TimH]

Nice Firetruck.

[Hypo]

Thank you all for your feedback!

i feel that the ladder could be longer!

I wanted to have 5 ladder parts (4 extendable), just like the real one.

As you see, it reaches the top of the 8th floor.

Good looking fire truck, but are you sure the ladder is long enough?

I do appreciate a well done apparatus, though.

Great re-creation of this Metz TL 'Hypo'. The body work is vey realistic to the real vehicle and I like how you have created the articulated/tip boom and folding cage.

[Jody Meyer]

nice design, nice detail as well

[ER0L]

Very well done, I love the overall shape and all the fine details, especially the upside-down stuff. Those outriggers are great, too.

I'm not sold on that wheels/mudguards combination, I must say (too close to the usual town look), but that's just me. Anyhow a very good-looking fire truck.

That is soooooo cool. I really really like the ladder design and function.

[coghilla]

Magnificent build there. Absolutely unreal. .

This is a really cool european style fire ladder! Great job! I really like it!!!

[marvinblue]

Well done on your MOC! It looks fantastic! Does your boom tip (the ladder part holding the bucket) have the ability to fold up underneath itself? If so, it might be possible to recreate the aerial appliances we have here in Australia. Do you have any other detailed shots of this area of your model?

[BricksMcgee]

Great model! The standard City fire trucks definitely need longer ladders - this one looks much more realistic in its reach :)

Hey!

My ladder truck isnt able to fold up like you said. It's a different type of vehicle.

I guess you mean fire trucks with a telescopic boom. Some of them have got a small ladder at the right side, but this one is usually for emergency escapes. We have got these trucks in europe too but they're mostly used in industrial areas or in cities with skyscrapers or other high buildings.

Very nice!
