Probably one of its best and certainly most authentic recolours yet of the Matchbox 2016 Ford Interceptor Utility, its licensed NYPD livery being its main attraction. First seen as a single and now included in a recent nine vehicle set. Found recently at Tesco. Mint and boxed.
A Public Service Electric substation in Marlton NJ.
When Public Service was planning to build this in 1966 the town objected to how it would look and wanted it to be enclosed in a building, which wasn't possible. Since PS is a public utility they didn't require any approval, but compromised by building a brick wall across the front - which was removed when the facility was later expanded. I guess it made for good public relations, but this was originally surrounded by part of an apple orchard so the trees screened much of it anyway.
There was a massive night-time explosion here in 1994 when a wild animal reportedly got into the equipment and caused a short circuit.

Overgrown Lego utility tower. I leave it up to the viewer to decide what this was once used for. If you're interested in (non LEGO) science fiction you can check out my blog at www.writtenplaces.com.

Dacia launched the 1300 model in 1969. The 1300 was a licenced version of the Renault 12, and was virtually indistinguishable from the donor car.
Dacia, based in Romania, was the State automotive company, and so, as well as having a dominant market position, it was also expected to provide a wider range of vehicle types to local consumers than was provided by Renault with the 12. This was achieved by the 1302, a two-door pickup (utility) version of the Saloon 1300.
The initial product run for the 1302 was 1975 to 1982. This shared the Dacia 1300 wheelbase of 2,441 mm. The 1302 model was replaced by an updated 1304 model. The 1304 received numerous cosmetic changes (inline with the Dacia Saloon), but also an increase in wheelbase to 2,675 mm, along with a more integrated tub design. The 1302 tub had appeared with corrugated sides and did not blend well the front bodywork.
Dropside 1304 models were made available in 1983, and a 1307 model, from 1992, riding on an even longer 2,795 mm wheelbase.
Other derivatives and combinations were also made available, until 2006. The model was replaced by the much more modern Dacia Logan pickup, based on the Renault Clio II, which launched in 2004.
hi guys, this is my first attempt on a Minifig scale MOC so I thought it was better to go with something "not too difficult", but at the end it really gave me more headaches than any of my other MOCs so far. The boxy and compact kind-of-retro shape wasn't as easy as I thought at first. I also tried my best to make it quite robust and playable so my 3yo son could play with it, which he happily did with good results:
"hey daddy! you can fit a minifig in here! wow I like it"… and daddy had a big smile on his face xD
Anyway, this is based on the M299 Utility Vehicle from SDF Macross, I ended up adding some personal touches here and there though, like the all new sexy and curvy screen shield :) btw, credits goes to my wife Vicky and her super idea for the seats pieces, I would have never dare to use purple seats on this model but at the end I think they look really nice on it.
Hope you like it :)
Looking fairly similar to its last two recolours though a closer inspection reveals this brand new 2021 release of the Matchbox 2016 Ford Interceptor Utility is different. It impresses immediately on account of its real life City Of San Luis Obispo livery, something which will always give instant credibility to any diecast.
A much better effort than the previous Police Explorer casting with superior proportions and detailing. Part of Case E. Mint and boxed.
