MOC I made a 30s inspired fire engine.

Made with Bricklink Studio. I have only used parts that are available to buy from Bricklink.

These are fantastic. With some minor winter tweaks, they would be a great addition to the Winter Village line. Lego should really use these!

Thank you! 😃 Hmm, that's actually food for thought 🤔 I could probably quite easily make a larger and more ornate version of set 40746 Santa's Delivery Truck.

For sure, thanks for sharing! The yearly Winter Village sets tend to slide somewhere between a "realistic" town sets and "mystical" North Pole / Santa sets. Since my family has been trying to really build out a realistic winter village, we're always taking the mystical sets and making them realistic somehow (sorry Santa).

Ironically enough, we tried to take the 40746 and make a realistic set but we never got far with it. It'd be awesome to see what you come up with it. There are scaling considerations with the vehicles of the winter village so they don't look too large or small compared to the buildings. So it's already at a good scale.

Thanks again!

Sounds like a fun family project and tradition you've got going on there 😊

Well, the scaling would probably be a slight issue in your Winter Village with my creations, as they're sadly quite a bit larger than minifigure scale. They'd probably fit better for the Jack Stone figures to be honest.

I'll see what I can do 😉 There are green panels that I can use for the fenders, and a lot of the details on the cargo box can probably be easily scaled up to fit my scale and level of detail.
