This is one of the best minifig scale town vehicles I have ever seen.

I agree; Bill's creations are even more spectacular in person.  Those
pics were taken by John Gerlach at our (GMLTC) meeting last week using
his new digital camera.  Although not a new MOC (I think Bill built it
last fall), this might be its first appearance on the web.  Bill is
currently building a really nice and really *big* fire station to house
it (with Conan's bricks, so you know it will have all of the bells and
whistles;)

Another fabulous emergency vehicle and big-vehicle-in-general builder is
fellow GMLTCer and GMLUGer Paul Foster ( http://www.gmlug.org/foster/ )

Although please note, Bram-- these guys are 6 wide builders, not puny,
girlie-man 4 wide "minifig-scale" stuff;-)

(...) Hey, I'm a 6-8 wide fan myself! I would never build a 4-wide truck in "minifig-scale." I consider 6-wide to be a better minifig scale, especially for trucks. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com ---...---oooo-----(_...o---...--- WWW: (...)
