They look great. Are they kits or do you make them ala carte?

They are all custom built by me. I search the internet for fire trucks and when I come across one I like. I start to look for more photo's of the apparatus and go from there. It takes me anywhere from a week to a month to build just one.

I honestly dont' know. LOL. Never sat back and thought about that one. There is lots of detail yes and there are some out there that have a lot more detail than mine.

It honestly depends. A custom lego truck can go anywhere from $80-$150 depending on the amount of detail.

Thank You. All my kids still play with lego's. It's a great learning experience and keeps their minds occupied for awhile.
