[MOC] Ambulance (Type III)

Post by spacysmoke » Sat Jun 02, 2012 9:45 pm

Greetings!
I've recently finished revising this ambulance type III MOC I've had for about a year. FYI, a type III ambulance is the kind typically found in the US and probably some other countries.

Anyway, these are the 3rd and 4th revisions I've done and I think I'm finished for now.

Image
The 3rd revision is the red fire dept. version. The emergency lights are implemented using brackets for flush appearance with the rest of the box.
The 4th revision is the white/orange version. Here, the emergency lights are in a bar configurations which is becoming more common in real life ambulances.

Image
The back of the vehicles feature brick-built doors that can open and close.

Image
The roofs remove for easy access to the cab and patient compartment. Here, you can see all the doors open.

Image
3 minifigures can fit in the patient compartment and two can fit in the cab.

Image
A passenger or EMT can sit on the bench next to the patient thanks to a SNOT panel.

Image
Lots of storage space inside for medical equipment.

Image
Hope you enjoyed it!

You can see photos of the first version on my flickr page:

Wow! Thanks for all the kind compliments and support on Cuusoo! I really appreciate it!

I have a LDD file of the 2nd revision if anyone wants it at my mocpages page:
http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/274413" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(The pictures are of the 1st version though).

I'm not sure if I'll be able to get around to making an LDD file of the 3rd or 4th revisions but much of the model is unchanged from the 2nd version. If you have any questions about "upgrading" the 2nd version to one of these, just ask!

Awesome! I hope I got the details close enough. Anything you think I should add?

I just joined Cuusoo specifically so that I could support this. I have come back to this page to look at these models 3 times since I first saw them last night. They are AWESOME!
