AllanSmith Posted September 2, 2017 Author Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Al's Autos empire has expanded into boat sales. A new sales yard has been developed and parts ordered from Bricklink. Called Al's Boats there is room for a few boats and a sales office at the right corner. Edited September 3, 2017 by AllanSmith Updated picture. Quote
AllanSmith Posted September 7, 2017 Author Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Just when I thought I had run out of projects, another idea comes along. A FDNY (Fire Department New York) Ambulance. So I designed one in LDD. Updated design due to lack of certain parts from Bricklink NZ sellers. Also changed to headlight bricks so LEDs can be added later. Enjoy :) Edited September 7, 2017 by AllanSmith Updated design Quote
AllanSmith Posted September 17, 2017 Author Posted September 17, 2017 A quick MOC today. A traffic control trailer with flashing arrow. Arriving at the traffic location ... Setting up the solar panel to charge the batteries. And now a video of the traffic trailer in action ... Enjoy :) Quote
Nightfall Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 Nice trailer. What did you use for the lighting? Quote
AllanSmith Posted September 17, 2017 Author Posted September 17, 2017 Hi Nightfall. I used a 9 volt battery and a homemade 555 IC timer circuit. It was originally made for a 6 wide traffic control truck in 2012. But as Speed Champions cars are 6 wide, my trucks are now 8 wide, so I rebuilt it into a trailer. I originally made 2 trucks, one with a " <- " and one with " x " LED pattern. BTW. My SUV and speed boat is finished. Photos to come. . Quote
Nightfall Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 Thanks for the explanation. I'm waiting for the pictures Quote
AllanSmith Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 I wanted to use the new red mudguards (fenders) that I had spare. So over an afternoon I built a vehicle based on a Jeep Cherokee. Enjoy :) Quote
AllanSmith Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 Designed a new vehicle to use the new mudguards (fenders). Based it on the Jeep from Jurassic Park. LEGO Digital Designer does not have the new guards, so I replaced them with small slopes and 2 x 6 plates in the design. Enjoy :) Quote
Nightfall Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 The Jeep looks good. I like the red one, the new fenders work great, but I'm not sure about the big wheels. Do they spin? Quote
AllanSmith Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 Hi Nightfall. Yes the wheels do spin on the red Jeep. They are 30.4 x 14 tires. The grey spokes make them look like low profile tires. The parts are from Creator set 31006. Quote
AllanSmith Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 A quick video for Nightfall. Includes a familiar speedboat. Enjoy :) Quote

AllanSmith Posted October 7, 2017 Author Posted October 7, 2017 After work today I designed a U Haul trailer to add to my vehicle collection. Just need to Bricklink the parts. Enjoy :) Quote
AllanSmith Posted October 12, 2017 Author Posted October 12, 2017 I have finished building the Jurassic Jeep and U Haul trailer. (Must take some photos) As a fan of John Deere tractors and their color scheme, I have designed my next project using Speed Champion mudguards (fenders) and wheels. A John Deere service truck. Off to order the parts again. Enjoy :) Quote
brickmasterben11 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Do you happen to have any more pictures of the batmobiles? Quote
James Mathis Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Fantastic vehicles. Love the U-HAUL lettering. The Jeep and the illuminated traffic control sign are very nicely done. Quote
AllanSmith Posted October 22, 2017 Author Posted October 22, 2017 Latest creation using Speed Champions mudguards (fenders) and wheels. A retro Landrover to tow my traffic control trailer. Enjoy :) Quote
AllanSmith Posted October 27, 2017 Author Posted October 27, 2017 Photos of my finished John Deere Service truck using hard to get Speed Champions green mudguards (fenders). Tool lockers, generator and gas welder. Enjoy :) Quote
AllanSmith Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 Latest design is a Fire Rescue light truck using Speed Champions mudguards (fenders) and wheels. I have built 90% of it from spare parts. Just waiting on final parts from Bricklink. Below is my LDD build. Enjoy :) Quote
AllanSmith Posted November 2, 2017 Author Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Next design and build is based on a Fedex delivery van/truck. It has sliding front doors. The sliding track parts I have dictated that it has grey stripes. They also help to break up the white. I have some LEGO cargo stickers of the earth with a carton to go on the sides. Off to Bricklink again for some parts. Enjoy :) Edited November 3, 2017 by AllanSmith Updated design after looking at real photos. Quote
AllanSmith Posted November 11, 2017 Author Posted November 11, 2017 Finished building my Fedex van (pictures to come). So this morning (NZ time) I designed a little brother for it on LDD. Just need to order a few parts from Bricklink to build it. I present to you, a USPS mail delivery van. Enjoy :) Quote
AllanSmith Posted November 12, 2017 Author Posted November 12, 2017 Another MOC build is inspired by demolition work going on across the road from our apartment building. A year ago, 7 floor high Defence House (a 10 year old building) in Wellington NZ was damaged in an earthquake. I have been watching 2 excavators working, breaking up and loading concrete from our window. So I have built a Deere version in LDD and will build it in bricks soon. Enjoy :) Quote
