marvinblue Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Not long after I emerged from my Dark Age, this set caught my eye, especially as it has flashing lights and a siren!! I thought I could update the original design and build it in yellow to match 7891. Little did I know at the time, it would be an expensive undertaking!! Oh well! Over time I managed to combine Bricklink orders for different stuff to make it a little cheaper and at the end of the day, I love the results! Enjoy! Light bar working. The Shift vehicles together. Now I just have to build a Station and Airport for them.... Finally, a picture of the original set. Comments welcome. Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 SMEGGING AWESOME 'marvinblue' I really like this ! Excellent detailling - very realistic......I have a soft spot for fire trucks......big kid I am, eh ? Keep up the great work and I'm a conformist! 'marvinblue' I'm a conformist! ! Quote
dr_spock Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Nice work. I think your version of 6440 look much better than the 7891 set. Quote
Rick Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 The old one is so much better than the one from a few years back, but actually they both need bigger wheels. I really like the yellow color scheme, but the red and white original is nice too. Quote
Legostein Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Hello! Nice idea updating an older set to the newer themes and colour schemes. I also think that the older model / your update is superior to the newer model. The building style of older days had much more charcter in my eyes, so thumbs up for your vehicle!
