talos Posted September 4, 2014 I am a fan of the Fire Brigade modular #10197 and wanted to expand on the look. I have the City Ambulance set and wanted a place to put it in my modular city. So I designed this building for it. Its similar to the FB, but not exactly the same, its kind of a cousin to it. I would put it next to the FB on one side to look like it was an addition to it. It is essentially a place for the paramedics to live when on duty. The height of the parking bay had to be that size to accommodate the ambulance. It sort of seems too tall, and I suppose the ambulance is a little too big a scale for the modulars (6 studs wide). Oh well, I like it enough to think about getting the bricks together to build it. The interior consists of a stair from the front door to the upper level living quarters for the paramedics. This building addresses the missing features in the FB, like beds and a bathroom. There are 2 beds a computer workstation, a kitchen and eating table. There are storage cabinets for supplies. Lots of accessories. The bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink. I know the window has a nice view of the WC...haha, but its high enough above the street to not be too visible ;-). The rear ground level has a storage space and perhaps an office, with windows out. I am still not sure about the color scheme, but for now, it works for me. tan gray and the dark red. Black window frames and doors. Comments most welcome!

TheLegoDr Posted September 5, 2014 Pretty neat. I only buy modular buildings for city, but this fits in well. I don't love the light bley above the top floor. It didn't seem consistent. But otherwise it looks really neat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted September 5, 2014 This is great! I especially like the bathroom design and the 3-stud wide beds. Looking forward to seeing it in real bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
talos Posted September 6, 2014 Thanks for the suggested improvements, I redid the top of the upper level, making it look more together. I moved up the bathroom window above the entrance one plate higher. Subtle changes, but I think it does look better. To answer the question about what app I am using, it is LDD, which is a lot of fun to use, after getting the hang of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted September 6, 2014 Nice work. You should definitely go ahead and brick built it! I like the interior details the most, and although the bay looks too high, with the parked ambulance it makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottwb2010 Posted September 6, 2014 Neat work! This will make a nice addition to the Fire Brigade station. I too really like how you have done the interior. Look forward to seeing it brick built and maybe sitting next to the Fire station. Also, I Wonder what it would look like with the up and over roller door on the ambulance bay similar to the fire station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayaderosseras Posted September 6, 2014 Very good work. I've always been a fan of Fire Brigade, too. I especially like those exterior floodlights at the back, along with the overall style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgarison Posted September 7, 2014 This looks very similar to the older, single bay firehouse that hold 3 trucks in a single line in Philly. Very Nice Work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
