(...) Very COOL design! I love how well thought out the overall design is, and I am amazed that a six-wide firetruck can look so realistic. And yet, the overall design is clean, smooth, and simple - just as it should be. And unlike on many 6 wide or (...) (21 years ago, 14-Jul-03, to lugnet.town)

Hey guys, I just want to tell you about a truck that I made. One day, after buying a small bag of used lego at a flea shop, I noticed a megabloks truck cab in one of them. I thougt I could use it, so the same day I began building... Voila, It looks (...) (21 years ago, 14-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)

Hi all, Recently I've been churning out a lot of MOCs, and even if a picture says a thousand words, a picture with a caption says even more. Therefore, I've gone up one step and joined MOCpages.

(...) 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)
