Posted August 11, 201113 yr Dear All! Here's sharing a new MOC i made with compliments of the wonderful technic shared by SearchFunction on how to build a 4 seater 6 stud wide vehicle: Double-Cab 6-studs wide seats 4 comfortably Fire pump truck! Here's the back view with 2 hose reels for fire fighting action. The reels attach to neighboring fire hydrants to tap the water to another fire boom truck as per SOP fire ops... Here's a top view showing the double-cabin. Seats 4 comfortably within 6 studs! Nice! The right view of the truck, with 2 ladders attached and pump equipments... A photo with the ladders removed for a better view at the pumping gauges and external compartments: There are 2 side lift doors at the left side for easy access to fire fighting equipment stored inside the truck... Wait a minute, whats that i see behind the 2 yellow fire extingushiers at the rear door?? Let's take a closer look! It's a switch! So that means.... Working flashing lights for my fire truck! Nice! Photos cant see that clearly of how it works, here's a video (pardon the low quality): P1010849 Nice? Quite hard trying to get all the bulbs and wiring in place... Here's a final view of our fire fighting heros! Thanks for reading! Comments & Critism welcomed! Hope you like it and Cheers!
August 11, 201113 yr Nice storage compartments, also nice to see lights on this build. But I miss some lights on top though.
August 11, 201113 yr Neat fire truck 'legofan'. I like all the storage and the that four firefighters can ride opposed to one. Great job
August 12, 201113 yr I always liked the fire truck offerings from Lego for some reason. I think you did a really good job on this and like the above comment I wish the lego versions sat more firefighters. I really like how you added some light features into this and the compartments really make for an authentic version as well. Great job!!
August 13, 201113 yr Thats one good looking truck! I´m very excited to see my idea in use, and glad too hear that it works too Now I just need to finish tinkering with designs and settle on a build myself, but I just can´t help it. I´m a sucker for details .
August 13, 201113 yr I've always wanted to see a Fire Truck with light functions, this did not disappoint me. I really like the way you used the slopes and tiles, it makes it look very un-blocky. And it's good that you managed to include equipment on the inside, even though most of it is being used by the power functions/wiring. But my favorite bit has to be the four-seating cabin, I just really like the way it looks from the outside.
August 15, 201113 yr Author Thank you all for all the kind comments! I really appreciate that! @ SearchFunction: Thanks for your wonderful idea! It works perfectly and i'll never have thought of that technic! Cheers! @ Landshark/ Alasdair Ryan: Actually it isnt a PF system... Or rather, it isnt even a Lego light system... It was something i got off the hardware store cheap, paying like only $1.70 for a set with a battery box that requires 2x AA batteries to 8 light bulbs. The lights are quite bright though, and the battery box isnt that BIG to easily fit into any trucks/ cars... Here's another look at my emergency vehicles; all with flashing lights. And here's a really lousy video (my digital camera sucks) of them in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6schL8AlMQc There are altogether 4 different types of systems used here. Can anyone guess them all? keke ~ Thanks for reading and thanks again for all the kind comments!
