Hello everyone,
I have been experimenting with a few designs on LDD and BlockCAD. After a few
different versions of the designs I decided to order three of them.
I tried my best to design them within the standard look of Lego Town sets so
they would fit my layout, but I also tried to design sets based on Ideas that
Lego has not done. This is what I have come up with.
Hope you enjoy them. Constructive criticism and recommendations are welcome.
First up.
A staple to any construction site. . . The Coffee Truck!
The first (rear door) has a fridge and warm food storage. The second (forward)
door has the large coffee carafe and hot water decanter.
The top hinged windows featured in LDD as (I discovered) are extremely difficult
to open, so I liquid welded 2 technic lock-washer pieces to serve handles.
Happy Clients
The truck is built on a basic 1-ton pickup truck chassis which can be stripped
down and rebuilt to carry a variety of utility packs. I hope to in the future
develop a series of modular work packs for this basic frame.
Next I’ve built a Police Explosives Ordinance Disposal Team.
There are three mini-figs, one driver, one technician, and one robot operator.
The van has space to store the robot, bomb box, pylons and mini-figs when
traveling to and from the scene. The robot folds up and drives up the rear ramp
for storage. The pylons and bomb box go on the roof racks.
The design of the robot’s arm currently does not work very well at handling the
bomb suitcase. The technician assists the robot and ensures that the bomb is
disposed of safely after it is placed in the bomb box.
As mentioned any improvement ideas to the robots fingers would be appreciated.
Finally, I’ve never really been impressed with any of the Lego Hospital designs,
with the exception of one Dacta design (I can’t remember the number)I saw in
the mid 90’s, so this is my first attempt designing my own.
The hospital features seven rooms.
A Reception / Admitting Room
Triage Examination Room
Emergency Room / Operating Room
Intensive Care Room ICU
Recovery / Visiting Room
and a Doctor’s Dormitory and Break Room
I don’t have any doctor figures to flesh out the hospital with yet and I don’t
have a reliable program to design and print decals, but I intend to add them
into the design.
There are more designs to come but this is what I have built at the moment. Hope
you enjoy them. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Thank you for visiting!
