![]() ![]() This is my modern version of set #6632, the police pickup truck. The glue is still just as good as when it was new - 30 years ago, in 1982! So I ordered it, all the way from New Zealand, and applied the stickers. I've also given it a modernised mailman and plenty of room for letters and parcels in the back.Īlso worth mentioning: I was astonished to find an original, unused sticker sheet from this set for sale on BrickLink. The original had two rear doors, so I knew this one needed to have the same, and I found the solution in some very old doors from the '70s. ![]() I've stayed true to the original yellow and red colour scheme, and also kept the proportions - the old one was 4 by 10 studs, so the new one is 6 by 14 studs. ![]() Here's another variation on the same theme, a modern version of set #6651, the mail van. Let me begin with the continuation of a project I started off with a modern-scaled version of the classic set #6624, the red delivery van. You may have seem them leak onto Flickr over time, but here they are all at once - all fifteen of them. I've presented some MOCs, and some modified versions of other people's designs, earlier - here (four), here (eight), here (five) and here (eight vehicles) - but this time, I've been building for a while, and work and stuff has kept me from taking pictures of my new builds and editing them properly. I've always been very fond of cars, and back when I played with Lego as a kid, building cars was what I was mainly up to. but what I've mainly been up to with our favourite bricks is building cars. After coming out of my dark ages a few years ago (mainly thanks to the modular buildings), I've built a few modulars, bought a heap of sets, acquired a (very expensive) Statue of Liberty. ![]()
