The WaterAmbulance

 With the COVID-19 pandemic rampant in our world (not the LEGO Universe), I challenged myself to build an ambulance. 

I didn’t want it to be any normal ambulance, though. After some thought, I came up with the ultimate WaterAmbulance.

The WaterAmbulance consists of two parts; the floating stretcher; and the main vehicle. Let’s take a look at the floating stretcher first. 

The floating stretcher is designed to be light and fast. It consists of two sections, the stretcher and the cockpit. The cockpit can accommodate two medical staff / drivers and some simple equipment. The two sections are joined by a central engine with a propeller at the back.

The stretcher section is designed to be as comfortable as possible, with padding nicely fitting around a standard minifigure. I wonder if you noticed: there is a yellow button near the hand of the patient for him to call for assistance if needed.

This is the main boat section. I used a fire boat base and added medical stuff to it.

The interior of the boat is packed with details. Here is a list of all the items and a short explanation:

Leftmost item: a fire extinguisher and two medical kits. Still need to be careful!

Middle: (top) Tool racks for medical equipment, and (bottom) flares. Essential for any boat…

Rightmost items: (top) cabinets and shelves for more medical stuff, and (bottom) food stocks and rations.

Side view of the boat with ladders and lights included. Rations can be seen better from this angle.

Still, the most unique part of the WaterAmbulance is the stretcher operation mode. Saving the trouble of transporting patients, the entire stretcher configuration can be lifted up and placed on the boat to operate on patients ASAP.

Time to start operating!

I hope this design helps the medical services. Thank you for reading my blog.
