Antique Trucks

That milk truck

[oo7]

Awesome five-wide building there Phred, that really takes some skill! *y* Plus it allows the 3 wide door to fit in very well. I really love the nostalgia of the milk wagon, in fact my great grandfather drove one every morning for a good while to make a living at the time. :-)

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 |-/

Perhaps you would prefer the look of a 2x2 hydrant?

I tend to use just the 1x1 gauge piece.

Either that or this one, I'd say.

Thanx fer da compliments again guys *sweet*

Kinda wish TLG made a 5 wide windshield *y*

Hopefully the next BL store i buy from has one of these two types of tiles, thanx guys :-)

Thanx, i was wondering what set that hydrant was in *y*

I'll have to ponder this during my coffee shop construction. X-D

So do I! I also want more three high ones...

Yes. I think it's the only 1x1 gauge piece and thats why I was lazy and didn't give a pic... :-$

Yeah, that one is on my Bricklink list already. *wub*

Phred, these trucks are so great. I think they each deserve an extra thread. I know you'd like them all in one place, but I hope people are seeing them all as the thread gets longer. My fear is that people will assume we're still discussing the first truck and not stop by and see the others. Maybe you can just edit your first post to show all three trucks...

But I would encourage you to start a thread for each. They're that cool... *sweet*

No worries X-D

Maybe i'll just get both then, and compare X-D

The 1x2 gauge seems much more rare being in only one set and all 8-|

I edited the first post to show the 3 trucks in this thread

I'm sure ppl know there's more than one truck in this thread now that it's re-titled Antique Trucks X-D

At this point i think it's ok to keep them all in one thread with the summary of pics in the first post now.

I just don't want to clutter up the town (and trains ;-) ) forum with small threads of the

Down the road if i make more antiques, i'll just make a new thread then.

Your milk truck looks very nice too! Great job!

And the 5-wide proportion is very well used!

The milk truck with a "milk boy" has always make me smile! When I was younger, I found the fact that someone brings us your milk at your door very stange... What a strange idea! Someone can come and steal your milk!

You're welcome! I really hope people are stopping back. These are great. If you make more antique trucks, you say? Please do! Please do! *sweet*

These are all quite good. They definitely have that vintage look, and with 6-wide you are able to bring out more details. I've actually seen some nice antique cars that used minifig seats on their sides as "rims" (the real name eludes me). Perhaps you could try this technique in a future car?

[iamded]

Awesome trucks! My favourite would have to be... um... well, they're all great! But I guess the milk truck, as it just looks very neat, and is a break from the others, colour wise. :-D Though red does look great on the other two... oh, I don't know! 8-| They're all awesome! X-D *y* *y*

~Peace

Thanx General.

Do you mean using M-F seats as wheel wells? 8-|

That might look pretty cool. *sweet*

I'll have to experiment with my seats, thanx again.

Thank you iamded.

The two red ones are the same. ;-)

I just built more onto the Red Truck to make it into a fire truck.

(just in case you didn't know :-$ )

[Barbossa]

Wow, your vehicles look awesome! Great design for all of them, I especially liked your milk truck.

Keep up the good work! :-)
