Rick Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Becka Bulldog is a brave firefighter in the Fabuland Fire Brigade. Along with Chief Brody Bulldog and fellow firefighter Buster Bulldog, she keeps Fabuland safe. Becka noticed there was an increase in calls for forest fires lately and she wondered if it was just a coincidence it all started when the mayor threatened the Fabuland Fire Brigade with budget cuts. Chief Brody sure seemed to enjoy his walks in the forest lately. Quote
Cecilie Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Oh nice, lovely firetruck! And one pyromaniac chief ... ... Bad doggy! Quote
Kristel Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) The firetruck is awesome! Not sure I'd want to mess with those bulldogs if I were mayor. Edited March 29, 2013 by Kristel Quote
Maxim I Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 This is great! I love how you made a brickbuilt version of the original car base! Quote
Pandora Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Becka! You really have an amazing knack for building Fabuland vehicles. This is absolutely gorgeous, and the colour scheme is spot on, even down to the little yellow frog. There are so many details, like the added tools and the wound up fire hose, but the vehicle doesn't look swamped by them at all. Plus you've added in a funny story (with the 'edge'), with a scene-setting MOC and the story really feels like one of the little stories included in the instruction booklets with the Fabuland sets. I love how you've added fire to the Fabuland trees, and the canister you've added to Chief Brody's back looks fantastic. Oh, and the dribbling fire hydrant too! I absolutely adore this. Quote
Rufus Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Oooh ooh oooh! I just love how you've done the steering wheel! Might steal your idea there. You've really got a knack for these vehicles, Rick. And I love the story. Quote
Hinckley Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Becka has a new job! And she's hanging out with Brody! This is a beautiful build, Rick! I'm surprised she isn't saving any racoons from trees. I love both frogs and that pristine FABULAND ladder piece. Quote
Purpearljellyblob Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Very nice firetruck! Great combination of red, black and yellow! Love those trees as well! Quote
Rick Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 You really have an amazing knack for building Fabuland vehicles. This is absolutely gorgeous, and the colour scheme is spot on, even down to the little yellow frog. Thanks. To think I even considered putting a red frog on the bonnet. Yellow looks so much better and thanks again for that suggestion. I absolutely adore this. Thank you. Oooh ooh oooh! I just love how you've done the steering wheel! Might steal your idea there. Thanks. No matter how cartoony the vehicles turn out in the end, I am always looking at real examples and I struggled a bit with how to get the angle for the steering wheel the way it is, but it works, I think. Becka has a new job! And she's hanging out with Brody! This is a beautiful build, Rick! I'm surprised she isn't saving any racoons from trees. That wouldn't be very edgy, now would it? Thanks Hinck. Very nice firetruck! Great combination of red, black and yellow! Thanks. The yellow stripe added some much-needed colour. Thanks everyone else for your compliments as well. Quote
