I wanted a little break from building on the USS Constitution,

so i built an antique looking red truck X-D

Here it is:

Here's the truck bed:

Whacha think :-)

Well done! It really has an antique feel, now you need to put your "moonshine-machine" on the back of it X-D!

I might need to build a truck myself, it's looks great *y*!

Truck On

[CF Mitch]

Wow, that's really great indeed.

It reminds me alot of the Kent's truck, from Superman/Smallville 'nd all :-P

Very cool *y*

[Lt. Col. Thok]

Very nice - I like the authenticity of it. It looks very much like my uncles old (1920) GMC!

[El Bucanero]

Signore Phred... Don Vito has asked you if you would want to lend your truck to him. If you refuse you mind find a horse in your bed tomorrow.. A part of it at least...

ok, back to normal!

Really Phred, this truck reminds me of the Godfather alot!

Looks brilliant!

According this fine truck I think you're very well capable of making fine oldtimers, any chance you'll be building some of those (soon)? That's an offer you can't refuse, isn't it? :-D

[Bonaparte]

So you build ships and.... oldtimers.

That's as good a combination as any :-D

You certainly have a talent for it because this is a fine vehicle *y*

[alex54]

Your moc is really nice, it just lake a small thing, the noise of the engine! Very well done with nice details! *y*

[Asuka]

A very charming truck indeed with a great hood and bumper design! :'-)

[Siegfried]

I think it's great! *wub* I also think it would make a good fire truck. *sweet* Nice idea for the head-rests too.

[the overseas kiwi]

I do like that!!!

[simonwillems]

A very clever design, I had to look closely for a while to figure out how you made the truck bed, but now I see: doorrails and jumperbricks.

Good use of those binoculars up front too, all in all a design very well thought through!

*y*

[Capn Frank]

Thanx for the compliments guys :-$

I found someone to drive my red truck :-)

He went and picked up a Christmas tree and presents for all his grandchildren...

What better to get for all his grandchilren, than lego ice cube trays.

:-P

I definitly think your MOC looks *sweet* phred. I would agree that this would be a very good start for a 1930's fire truck. I really like how you built the front end. You definitly did a GREAT JOB *y* making it look like a 1930's style truck.

Model On!!

[Captain Green Hair]

Wow, that front fender is sweet! *wub*

Very smart part use Phred, but i still like to see that constitution... :-P

[Capn Frank]

With the continuing wait for may BL order to continue construction of my constitution,

I've turned my red truck into a fire truck

and finished the exterior of my coffee shop (although i don't like all the red |-/ )

Every town needs a coffee shop X-D

Here be the pics:

The uniforms of the firemen seem similar to the style of my truck.

That

[zeki]

This is greatly done! A memory to the past. A tribune to firefighting! :'-)

[Captain Green Hair]

Sweet, i like old firetrucks, in fact i like everything historic! *sweet*

[Siegfried]

*wub* It does work very well as a fire engine... although I do prefer it as a truck. However, I am not a big fan of old-firetrucks anyway so my opinion is worthless! :-P The crew are pretty cool too! :-P (I don't like your control panel piece selection though...)

[Hinckley]

Let me start by saying 6 wide on!! >:-) Yes!!

Great ruck phred, thanks for sharing. I really like the adjustments for the fire truck too. It seems like the old fire trucks from the black and white Disney cartoons. :-D :-D Does anyone else remember those? :-$ Either way, you captured the antique pick-up feeling perfectly. I may "borrow" a couple of your techniques to make something similar. It's really impressive and I'm happy to see you posting in the Town forum! You're a great builder and I'm glad you share your creations with us. Looking forward to more. *sweet* *y*

[Capn Frank]

Thanx for the compliments :-$

...

(I don't like your control panel piece selection though...)

I don't like it much either, but my choices were limited, so i used the control panel from the millennium falcon ;-)

Do you have any in mind?

I don't have a lot of options available, but i'll probably get something else on my next BL order.

Now that my order for my constitution is here, i can continue construction,

but i did manage to finish my Divco Milk Truck. X-D

I didn't quite have all the doors i needed so i improvised.

Also, i really don't know what kind of doors are available (like if a 1x3 4 bricks high door exists |-/ ).

If you've got suggestions, let me know X-D

Well first off here's a thumblink of an actual Divco Delivery Truck that i based my truck off of and some milkmen:

Now here're some pics of my version X-D

I used Sting's sig-fig as the milkman, would like to get a different white torso with a bow tie:

And the whole "Old timer" gang:

Whacha think?

This is even more awesome!!! I love it...

This is what original sets should be like...

MOC ON!

Thanx, I borrowed the bumper design from my Warthog :-D

I agree! What little kid wouldn't want a Milk Truck and an old timer firetruck? *y*

BTW: Does anybody have any good designs for a firehydrant? :'-)

Feel free to post pics or links in this thread, i'm not a big fan of the way mine turned out |-/

Cool, you did a great job with these *y* ! The fire truck is my favorite out of the pair.

When I was little I had a couple of die cast metal Edwardian era vehicles, I think they were called "matchbook" vehicles but I'm not sure. I actually did have a horse drawn milk truck and horse drawn fire engine :-), as well as an early motorcar.

I really love this one and it's made quite smart too! *wub* I think this is much better than the fire truck. The use of half-stud offsets really help make it look rounder. Great work!

Do you have any in mind?

I tend to use just the 1x1 gauge piece.
