LEGO Fire Hydrant MOC

This LEGO fire hydrant MOC is a 12-piece red street hydrant with a domed cap, a gray side outlet and a black round base. The red body steps out into two wide layers under the dome, which gives it the classic flanged shape of a real hydrant, and a single gray nozzle sticks out from one side against the bright red. The remaining faces are covered with panel pieces for a clean, slightly blocky look.

At 2 x 3 studs and 3.4 cm tall, it is one of the quickest builds in the catalog, which makes it a good first project for kids and beginners. The free step-by-step instructions fit in 9 pages, and the rounded top shows how a couple of round parts can do the work of many bricks. It makes a small detail for a street corner, a fire station scene or simply a desk display.

It also pairs well with the other street props on the site, such as the benches, fences and fountains, if you want to build up a little town scene one piece at a time.
