I’m working my way through a series of 4-wide fire apparatus right now. And
while this isn’t the first one in the series, this is the one I’m most happy
with up to this point.
For a few reasons:
- the truck itself came out pretty much exactly as I had planned
- there is a nice high-res picture of the truck, to show what it should look like
- the instructions themselves now have the parts list for each step included
Here is a link to the BIP entry for Ladder 110:

As well, I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who contributed to

You all provided excellent advice and examples in response to my naive and
sometimes clueless questions. For what it’s worth, I think that thread is
now a nice set of ‘tips and tricks’ for lighting techniques to use for
rendering models in POV-Ray.
Any feedback on the model, the instructions, or the render are most welcome.

Spiffy model. Especially the ladder with the nozzle at the top! Also a great use
of arches and rear fenders (how I wish that fender came in a split so you could
use it on 6 wide trucks)
Needs more greebles, though. Even ladder trucks have some pumper appurtenances
so modeling some of that stuff would add, I think.
The instructions seem well thought out in terms of sequence of steps and having
the parts box at each step helps. I know (think?) this is a standard lpub thing
now, IIRC but it is nice.
Stylistically though, I just can’t get excited about lightening previous parts
to show current step parts, or by the use of rendered parts without strong edge
lines. I like the more cartoonish instructions that Lego themselves do, with big
chunky edge lines. But that’s just me.
