I'd like to see a bit more texture on your exterior. Perhaps a bit more detail around your window like that of Green Grocer . Maybe try making your first layer of bricks a different color than the rest of your wall, like the Creator Family Home. You can also tile the exterior's floor with a pattern. Adding some detailing to the top of your roof can improve aesthetics as well.

The post office looks really good! I like the detail behind the counter. I think it would look even better if you tile the floors, especially the outside pavement. Also, this looks like a good building to make even bigger, with a longer counter, some shelves to sell products and maybe even multiple P.O. boxes. Well done!

I was going to make a white fire truck... but realized I did not have enough pieces to build it after I finished the cab. So what was orginally supposed to be a fire truck is now a flat bed. Oh well.

Great looking van! My only criticism is that the hinges that make up the windsheild looks a little awkward. But then again, its hard to make a windsheild when building a 5-wide. But overall, well done! I hope you didn't glue those rear lights together!

Here is a picture of a real-life private jet. Judging from the looks of it, the main thing you should do is shortening the fuselage. Everything else about 3181 looks pretty close to the real thing.

I'm surprised you were able to fit so much detail in such a small space. I think the exterior could use a little more detail but the interior is great! Excellent work!

I just modified my MOC fire engine and made it 5 studs longer to accomodate storage lockers and outtriggers. See first post for images.

Nice additions! But i still think the original gray mudguards and wheels look better than the new yellow ones. I just think right now, there's too much yellow.

That's a beautiful motorcycle. The design is excellent. I think it could use a bit more vibrant colors but again, great work!

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Rick, I may try to fix the grill-sticking-out-too-much problem but I right now, I don't have the pieces for that adjustment. Also, I had to attach the windshield to the roof because there there was no way to attach it anywhere else (the bricks with the "7208 sticker" are not standard 1x4's. They are those "L" shaped ones with no studs on top. I chose an engine/ ladder combo because I don't have enough resources to make a traditional engine or ladder, at least not one that looks good. But that may change once I get more pieces! Henri, I have to admit that 7208 is a really crappy set, even though there are some useful pieces. It's really not worth getting. The only reason I got it was because the shelves at my local Target were empty (except this set) and I had a serious craving for LEGO! Btw, my MOC doesn't only use pieces from 7208. I had to order some stuff from pick-a-brick as well.

UPDATED: New Version Recently, I purchased the 7208 fire station. After I built the set, I quickly dismantled it, because everything in the set is just so unrealistic, especially the fire truck. So I used the set's pieces to built my own fire rescue vehicle, shown here. I have just made my moc 5 studs longer. How does it compare to my first model?

This truck is great! The chrome looks nice with the red and the proportions are well done.

Hi everyone! Here is another truck I made... except this time, instead of using my own imagination, I decided to based it off a real model I found on google. I think the cab is too big and I will adjust it later. Thanks for looking.

Kalahare, this crane is beautiful. The mobile crane in 7633 is my favorite vehicle that TLG has made and your truck is even better. The things I don't like in the original 7633 crane- no retractable outriggers, crane operator's cabin too small, string unwinder too fragile- you've mananged to fix all those problems in your own design. Great work.

I think the drab colors of the cabin looks great in contrast with the bright drum. In fact, a more lively color on the cab really won't look good next to the orange and black. Nice work on your color choices and beautiful truck!

Thanks for the replies, everyone. It seems the inverted windshield is not getting much of a fanbase, even though ironically, it is my favorite feature of the truck. As for adding a piece to cover the entire top of the windscreen, I just don't have the resources for that right now. But hopefully, I can address that problem in the near future, although I have a feeling this truck won't stay intact for long before its pieces are used for another vehicle.

Absolutely stunning. The chrome looks so good with the blue- in fact the colors are even better than the real-life version. My only suggestion is to shorten the wheelbase slightly (probaby by just one stud) but it is gorgeous as it is.

Hi everyone. Some time ago, I moc'd a flatbed truck. Although I was happy with it, I felt it still looked too much like the trucks TLG makes. I wanted my vehicle to be unique so I decided to wreck the flatbed and go for a more original design. It led me to making something I never thought I'd make- an 8-wide tractor unit. Here it is, sadly without a trailer :(

The SUV looks good, especially the back. But I think it should be at lease 2 studs shorter and the wheelbase should be reduced as well.

Allan, the new blower intakes looks SO MUCH better than the old one. I also like that you changed from double doors back to single doors. Good work.

Thanks guys. I have added a picture of the truck with actual cargo. Legostein, unfortunately, I don't have any larger wheels at the moment but I will take your suggestion into consideration when I buy more sets. All my childhood legos were given away unfortunately. SeaKing, I didn't even notice the color difference of the wheels until you mentioned it. Thanks!

Hi everyone, this is a truck I made yesterday- its my first MOC since coming out of my Dark Ages a week ago. After getting the 7633 Construction Site, I was not happy with the green truck in the set. So I combined the pieces of the green truck with the 7639 Camper and this is the result. Thanks for looking. More images on my brickshelf.
