Thanks guys, the MOC is still alive, it seems ... ;-) @Rolands: Many thanks, glad to hear that! Maybe it is too huge to be combined with the normal town vehicles. Nowadays I'd rather try to build it as a 7-wide, but I won't take it apart, I somehow like its shape. @Vibor: Glad you like it, mate!

WOW - this is fantastic! Ever considered putting this on CUUSOO? This would perfectly fit the LEGO-City theme, plus it is very very accurate.

That looks great! Very accurate too. The details like headlights and bumpers are a win!

Thanks a lot guys! It's an older MOC, but there is still some feedback, it seems. @LFM: Thanks a lot. You actually did see it, see below - but it's nearly a year now ... Many thanks for mentioning the compartments - my first SNOT-work ;-) @Alex: Many thanks! There's some chrome at the front now - should take some new photos ... @Scott: Many thanks, glad to hear that. Feel free to use the headlight design, you're welcome! @Alex & Austin: Many thanks! @Paul: Thanks a lot for your nice comment (and sorry for the delay ...)! @Chris: Many thanks! I feel that talking to a Chris Melby of January 2012 is a kind of time travel, considering what has happened in the meantime ... Now I rather search through YOUR builds for inspiration ;-) Anyway, sorry for the delay! @Ape: Thanks a lot, another time travel ;-) @Elk: And another one ... Many thanks!

I don't know why I did not see this one sooner. It is really a nice rig. I really like the high side compartments. They are very innovative.

It looks very good! I love all the little details and the front allot!

Amazing fire engine, I love the front design. Don't know too much about fire engines, but it looks like a mix of a lot of different eras. I plan to remake my fire engine some time, I hope you don't mind if I use your headlight design, they look really nice. Great job!

This is a great fire truck. I really like how you did the front.

This is a comment concerning you channel as well as your builds. I really appreciate your approach to the 8 wide build. Setting some boundaries is always a good way to stay focussed and build some great stuff like this fire truck. Thanks for posting this stuff. I added you to m y fav's, I want to build a detailed 8 wide here in the future, I was thinking a truck and camper, and I was going to search through your builds for inspiration. Chris

This is superb - awesome detailing everywhere! I love it's designed for mini-figs too; it's very playable. 5 stars

This is a very robust looking engine, I like the roomy cab!

Thank you A Taylor! Glad you like the cab and the compartments. I think the latter was my first real SNOT-work ;-)

Nice work. It's a good engine. The cab looks nice and roomy. How you did the compartments on back is cool as well. Good thinking.

Thank you very much, James. The use of the compartments in this way was rather by accident since I had no other parts for something like this. But hereby I learned something about snotting ;-)

Thank you, I appreciate your comment and rating very much since this is explicitely influenced by your work which I highly estimate. Meeting an original American fire apparatus still seems rather difficult to me, so I tried to imagine something that I thought might exist.

Thank you very much, Paulo. That's what I will do right now!

very nice, i like the Snot work on the compartments, and the detailed interior

Very nice truck. I agree with Paulo that it doesn't resemble any particular manufacturer of apparatus, but then again a lot of Lego trucks don't. You have some nice details such as the high side compartments. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Nice job, doesn't really resemble any truck but it has style! Check out some of my rigs! -Paulo R.
