I built something!
Two years ago I was asked (as usual) if I have a SWAT van that could be used in a potential Arkham set. I didn’t have one then (or did I?) but 30 minutes later I did.
Back then I figured that if it won’t be used, then I can always sneak it into something else as a taco truck or a TV van, whatever, but it went thru.
The build is pretty straightforward except for the front, that utilizes an odd combo of plates and brackets built in every direction on a footprint of a 2x2 brick to create the distinctive Chevy Stepvan headlight assemblies with it’s eyebrow turnsignals. No doors, as these things usually drive open, and since the doors are of sliding type, I don’t think it’s feasible in this scale.
As usual, I built it in different colors, and different lenghts, but the final product is pretty close to my initial sketch.
This is also the set where I was allowed to wish for an element for the first time ever in my career here at LEGO, and I went for a tyre that I needed for years now.
It’s a real gamechanger for me, and you’ll find that tyre from September 12th in the 76300 Arkham set.
Will UPS still deliver after a nuclear war or other world-shattering cataclysm?
I have no idea, but the driver of this particular UPS Truck drove up construction-torn Preston Street, torn apart for resurfacing, as far as he could (Spruce Street, a block north of Somerset Street) before a completely impassible pit made him get out of the van to deliver a parcel just north of Spruce.
Taken in Ottawa's Little Italy.
EDIT: It didn't occur to me at the time, or when I first wrote the captions for these photos, but this shot in particular, of a UPS truck on a "crumbling" street, reminds me in a weird way of the very slow-paced Hitoshi Ashinano sci-fi slice-of-life manga Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (episode 2), about some aspects of normal everyday life continuing in a post-apocalyptic yet very gentle version of Japan.
This is a 2009 or later Workhorse W62 step-van, I photographed this truck at some sort of crime scene in Mountain View a couple years ago.

Freightliner stepvan of the San Diego Police Dept. I can't wait to see this out in the open. Not sure if it's a SWAT van, mobile command center, etc.
Well into 2016 and these Elite Robo Mechanics liveried Express Delivery Matchbox vans can be found in large quantities in both Poundland and Poundworld but when I bought this example back in January 2016 they weren't too easy to find with only Morrisons and occasionally Tesco coming up with the goods. New batch Matchbox availability has decreased even further since then as Tesco pulled out of Matchbox and replaced them with Majorette. The model itself is one of those generic plastic Matchbox models you don't mind seeing as it has always impressed with its crisp square cut styling, well cast body and attractive wheels. Mint and boxed.

International Harvester Metro Van was produced from 1938 until 1975. The Metro Van was a Step van, also known as walk-in or multi-stop delivery trucks. These vehicles were usually forward-control trucks once commonly used as milk and bakery delivery trucks that allow the driver to stand or sit while driving the vehicle. The Body was built by the Metropolitan Body Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut, a company which International Harvester would later purchase.
