(...) There are three things I really like about this model: 1) The overall design is very clean and well thought-out. 2) The deck gun! I love the styling of this. I'm planning on using the chrome version of the light saber hilt as air horns on some (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jul-03, to lugnet.town)

(...) After I wrote this I thought that even though we don't see them open in your render, it's likely that you used that type of door for it's funtional value, rather than it's exact appearance. Is that a fair statement? :) Regards, Allan B. (21 years ago, 11-Jul-03, to lugnet.town)

(...) As a matter of fact, they're entirely cosmetic since I use up the potential storage space to produce a half-stud inset. Making them functional wouldn't be too hard though. Will Bricksburg Fire Department: (URL) Bricksburg Depot: (URL) (21 years ago, 11-Jul-03, to lugnet.town)

(...) And the effort shows. But goodness gravey man... a whole year? Time for a coffee break. ;) (...) I had the same sort of 'inspired' moment with the 1x4 arch brick. I realized they were almost exactly right for the small wheels on the 2x2 plates (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jul-03, to lugnet.town)

That is a neat deck gun, I like it & think I may have to use it!! That has to be the 1st truck I've seen with that size tire that look really good. I also have pile of Fire MOC's that need about 10 peices each before I take pictures. Josh (21 years ago, 12-Jul-03, to lugnet.town)
