V-LF-6F This truck is one you don't often see in the Lego world, but many department around the world require such a truck to refill breathing apparatus bottles and provide elevated scene lighting on emergency scenes. I opted to build a replica of Wichita, KS brand new Mobile Air and Light Truck. It is a 2011 Peterbilt 348 made by Pierce. Here is a photo of the real truck: And now the Lego version:

Good call! small oversight

I have not found Series 6 anywhere here in Wichita, KS. They had series 5 at Walgreens and Target during December. Now there is none anywhere! Our TRU has barely any Legos on the shelf. I loved the fact that Walgreens had them because I could pick them up often.

I think the Robot will be cool, when are they going to release series 6?

I have a question. I uploaded a large Wanted List on BL and bought a lot of the items on that list using the BL built in function. Now do those items automatically come off my Wanted List or do I have to now manually go back in and delete them?

When are the Forest Firefighter sets available?

Where did you see that "if you go to a Lego Store tomorrow you will get the 2nd set free"? I was very hopeful for more info about set 2/2 but could find nothing on that recent e-mail from TLG.

Will Set #2 be available for longer than 3 days starting the 25th?

I agree about the stripe! Its absolutely perfect! I also agree with Ralph about the wheels. They look out of place. Great job on the body!

I had to do away with them on the back two tires on my Quint design , hope to show you LDD version soon

First off great looking rig. Great job on the headlights, very cool. I think you nailed the length but it seems that the roof and back could use just one more layer to add just a bit more to the height. Great rig and I'm glad to see more fire trucks being built

Very nicely done! I really like the fireplace and log storage area

Im working on a Quint next Then their Truck Companies Then finally their brand new Mobile Air/Light Truck I'd love to see someone attempt their Squad trucks

Its not to minifig scale by any means. Sacrifice I made to build a more realistic model. Here is a link to a thread that shows some screenshots of my original design with a minifig. Also after speaking with Ralph_S about the 6-wide model it was decided some major changes were needed

Thanks!

Great catch! Thank you all for the comments! I couldn't wait to take the photos and show you all

I'd like to see a Eurobricks rendition of the Petshop to match these..

I have been working on a workable, to scale, model of an actual Fire Engine. I would appreciate any feedback before I place my Design By Me purchase. Here is a photo of the Engine that I modeled it after: Here are the photos of the model: The ladder does rotate down 90deg. to allow for unloading. Any feedback at all is much appreciated!

It was only $163, but with Tax and Shipping it landed me to $191.

Yup the bricks are on their way!

Well after some time and a recent move I finally got a chance to re-do my 6 wide Engine to a 8 wide Engine. This truck does not have functioning doors but is more built based on being a model. You can however put 5 firefighters in the cab just like the real life truck. I really like this new design a lot and it seems to look much better than my 1st pass. I have Ordered through Lego so I should have it built in a few weeks. Please feel free to provide feedback!

Based on the following photo I found it looks like the 2012 Wildland Firefighters will have red helmets. Be nice to have yellow and orange. Please do not deeplink preliminary pictures. Thanks - LuxorV

I think possibly some firefighting tools and different color helmets would be good. No one make anything close to this and it would be a way of cornering the market. Here is a link to a thread I had going on the topic so you can see what im talking about. LINK

Does anyone know of a place online that has custom colors of helmets, maybe different torsos? It'd be neat for a BrickArms to make a molding set of small firefighting tools as so many custom molders do police/army stuff. Any help would be great!
