Police Truck and Prototyping

Still catching up some old posts and wanted to show you how we "prototype" new vehicles and show you a police truck we developed.

Classic Lego 4 wide truck designs and why they're ideal for your town

My affinity for classic Lego sets is obvious from the videos on this channel, but making 4 wide trucks is not as easy as you would think, because trucks are supposed to be BIG. So how do make a small truck look MASSIVE on a city street when everything is 4 wide?

Make a Simple 4x4... Easily!

We're still trying to get our feet under us-- it's just a super busy time of year around here.  Three new videos have been shot or at least partially recorded and we'll be posting those as they are finished.  The first one went up today and features a 4x4 that pretty much anyone can make using spare parts.

There are no special pieces required (though we are showing it with some special axles) and it using very common pieces.

Built 4-Wide Tough

Growing up I spent a lot of time in Europe and each time we returned to the US is was always striking to me how many pickup trucks were around.  Pickup trucks are a very American vehicle and you don't realize how common they are until you go somewhere where they aren't.

 Lego is not an American company, obviously, so it took them a long time to come up with an actual pickup truck in a set.  We have trucks in several different sizes in our town, but the most useful is the one we're going to look at today.  Click on through and we'll show you how easy it is to build your own.
