I’ve just uploaded photos of two new minifig-scale rescue vehicle replicas.
On both vehicles, I have bricks going in almost all directions (upside down,
sideways). Both also have 1/2 brick offsets with the cab of the trucks 6-wide
and the body 7-wide. It took several attempts to get so many building techniques
into such a small space. As always, with both models my main goal was accuracy
to the real rigs.
The first is a Los Angeles City Fire Department brush patrol truck.
Here’s
the real LAFD truck. (This one has a four-door cab while mine is the two-door
version)

The second is a redesign of my ESU truck. The Emergency Service Unit of the NYPD
is a combined rescue and SWAT team. This Radio Emergency Patrol truck is the
ESU’s workhorse and is equipped with scuba gear, medical kits and rescue
equipment including heavy hydraulics.

| (...) Steven, you are truly the master of the minifig fire and rescue apparatus. The detail and scope of your work is amazing. I think you should try to move the front axles of your SuperDuty chassis trucks forward a stud or two to more properly (...) (18 years ago, 7-Sep-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
