At a set there are interesting details:

In a set of only 3 minifigs - 2 bandits and 1 police officer.

- the bandit No. 1 - he helps the prisoner with escape. He is dressed in a leather jacket and gloves. It is armed by the fomky. Torsik is ornamented from 2 parties.

0_bba0a_79c774d2_XL.jpg

- the bandit No. 2 - it the prisoner. He is dressed almost standardly - a gray hat, a striped shirt and gray trousers. But under a shirt there is still a beige t-shirt. In order that the prisoner didn't run away, to him the weight is fastened. The weight absolutely round, without grooves for fastening.

0_bba0e_4339de06_XL.jpg

- the police officer - is dressed in a new form, with drawing from 2 parties. Also it has a new peak-cap. In a form it is similar to that that was in collection minifigures of the 9th series (71000), but is a little higher. And therefore looks a little clumsily.

We will compare to a collection minifig:

All minifigs of a set:

We pass to set assembly. At the beginning we collect the ATV. The design of the ATV is very simple.

0_bba15_3bc0e50d_XL.jpg

After assembly we find out that on the ATV there is no place for hook fastening.

0_bba17_96fe6766_XL.jpg

0_bba18_105501ad_XL.jpg

0_bba19_96ae59e6_XL.jpg

Now we assemble the truck for transportation of prisoners. Feature of a design is that there is no uniform basis for this model. Truck basis the completely assembly! And the roof over the driver also gathers, instead of is executed by a uniform detail.

0_bba24_e09e9a2_XL.jpg

After assembly there are very many extra-details:

And so the set is built:

0_bba26_8743095e_XL.jpg

0_bba27_5b72a4a2_XL.jpg

As you can see, for the police officer of doors didn't make. To put him for a wheel, it is necessary to remove a roof.

0_bba2b_3ec7fcb7_XL.jpg

0_bba2c_f004cea5_XL.jpg

0_bba2d_e4c6dc70_XL.jpg

But for the prisoner made huge gate!

0_bba2e_2ef541d8_XL.jpg

0_bba2f_93de888f_XL.jpg

In general from a prison compartment of the truck there are already 5 exits:

- back lattice door

- doors between the camera and the driver

- folding roof

- two jumping aside windows with lattices

0_bba31_c1c466ea_XL.jpg

In the camera there is a lot of place, but it isn't rationally used.

0_bba32_d090e8ad_XL.jpg

Truck from all directions:

0_bba36_77f6638c_XL.jpg

0_bba37_4f161052_XL.jpg

0_bba38_c20f57e0_XL.jpg

And now I will show you the game moment with escape function through jumping-out windows with lattices:

Finally some more general photos of all set:

Result: this truck - the best model for transportation of prisoners that Lego had - the excellent appearance, an interesting and qualitative design, is a lot of game and the funtsionalnykh of features in a set.

Thanks for this review. Lots of good photos, too. I think they could have made the truck seat wide enough at the doors to fit two police, and the big door on the back looks rediculous. That needs a serious mod.

The ATV only needs to have two clips added to hold the hook and the crowbar the criminal uses. Speaking of the criminal, I really like that leather jacket. I may just get the whole set because I want that excellent torso piece! :laugh:

Thanks for your comments. I am glad that you liked my review.

I changed the truck a little. I remade lateral faces - now there is no function of breaking of a lattice by means of a hook, but for that the van became more real. It was necessary to think over back doors.

I remade a van door. I added mirrors of a side view.

The final version looks so:

Thanks for the review. It's interesting that the policeman has no gun but has ammo clip holders on his uniform. The truck windshield looks useful for train locomotive MOCs.

Great pictorial review. I love how many photos you took - it shows off the model very well. I think your mod is great. You closed all the escape hatches so that the prisoner can't run away : ). Why are mods always better than the actual product? : ) The sliding doors are awesome.
