Hi all,
It’s been a long time since I updated my folder on Brickshelf with new stuff. I
just added quite a few pictures. Some are new mocs, some are old mocs with new
pictures, and some are pictures of mocs built for some time now but never shown
before on my folder.

Dear Lego,
Pierre’s MOCs are an outstanding example of what the future of the Lego city
lineup could be.
This folder represents the diversity of themes, the realism and the quality
that Lego town fans (both old AND young) would love to see on store shelves.
Sincerely,
Steven Asbury

No kidding!
Dear LEGO, in the My Own Creation line you have now done Castle (Blacksmith
Shop), Trains (Santa Fe Cars), and microscale (new factory line sets). It’s
time for Town, and you should start with something from Pierre’s folder.

Dear LEGO,
You would save me a great deal of trouble if you made some or all of Pierre’s
MOCs into sets. This would save me having to buy all those pieces on Bricklink.
Your choice, I either pay some vendor(s) on Bricklink for the parts or I pay you
for a complete set. I have the Mastercard, VISA or Paypal ready! The $ are
there if you want them.
Oh ya, hey Pierre! GREAT STUFF! By the way, if you want to bring your Octan
tanker truck MOC (WOW!) to Railfair in Ottawa in Oct, it would look REALLY nice
in my Octan fuel depot! Hint, Hint.
Also, thanks for bringing the front-end loader, street sweeper & car transporter
to the last ParLUGment mtg, they were nothing less than inspiring. For the next
ParLUGment meeting, could you bring some of the other MOCs? I promise not to
drool on them this time.

Thank you Steve! :-) With the price of gas these days, I’m not sure I’ll attend
each and every ParLUGment meeting. But I’ll try to go to Railfair, and if I do
I’ll bring some MOCs for sure.

That is a shame. I've been trying to build your yellow prime mover,and keep
having problems with the under carrage. Keep up the great work.

Indeed!
I will consider it an immense blunder on the part of the TLG hiring
department if Pierre is not being interviewed (merely as a formality!) by
the end of the coming week. Surely these are some of the best Town vehicles
I've ever seen. A wonderfull and varied selection of blocky and swoopy
designs that are simply fantastic.

I also love the camping trailer:

These are just dying for a landscape. I can see the campers parked in a wooded
campground with minifigs gathered around a campfire roasting marshmallows.

Pierre,
As far as I am concerned, when it comes to realistic town vehicles, you are the
man. You build them on a continual and consistant basis and do it incredibly
well. Your eye for the right details and color is first rate.
My favorite here (and they’re all great!) is the cement mixer. Mostly because I
have long been looking for a solution to a 6 wide mixing section and I think
you’ve nailed it. I am going to try this out on a US type mixer that I see a
lot here.
Thanks for posting, building and being and ever-present source of inspiration.
Best,
Jonathan

Thank you Jonathan!
As you can see on my cement mixer folder, the shape of the “mixing section” is
an idea from Doug Eaton.
I just made it longer and motorized it. It is powered with a train speed
regulator at the lowest speed.

Wow! Your town vehicles are simply amazing. You’ve managed to keep them
minifig-scaled, AND make them so realistic! They really put LEGO-designed
vehicles to shame.
Like many others, I would also buy a bunch of your MOCs if the mother company
decided to sell them...

I always try to build at minifig scale and realistically as much as possible.

Bonjour Pierre,
J’ai pas grand chose à rajouter à ce que je t’ai dit depuis le début, depuis le
jour ou j’ai fait cet
article il y a maintenant 2 ans presque jour pour jour.
J’avais “flashé” sur tes modèles, et j’en suis toujours pas lassé aujourd’hui.
Bien sur, j’espère que la société LEGO “s’emparera” un jour de ta créativité.

Pierre-
I remember seeing some of your stuff at BrickFest PDX. It still totally rocks.
As I think I told you there - the best town vehicle MOC’s I have ever seen. You
are awesome!
-Matt :)
