Well, heres one of my builds. This is a Mack/Superior 100' mid-mount aerial. It is one of three identical trucks ordered by Toronto FD.

[cargostar]

I don't know why I can't build anything small......



Tail light pods. I built one, and then cast the other. The lenses will get a chrome dress ring around them.

Wow! I wouldn't even have shelf space for something that size!

[cargostar]

So, after spending a couple of hours under/in a Mack MR garbage truck over the weekend, I was able to come up with the major frame dimensions, and about 150 pics for refrence.

Here is the front frame crossmember/tow eye. This a bolt on component to the front of the frame on the 1:1!







Here is the lower cab tilt cylinder mount.



And, the interior. I'm using one of my "seconds" castings that is laying around.

[martinfan5]

Wow, I am already impressed with this build.

Janne- put down for one more build, I am going to do a 1970 ford intercepter phoenix police

Cool? The old Hobby Heaven, AMT kit?

[martinfan5]

Yes I got the AMT issue of it, I did have the hobby heaven one back in 90's when I was a teen.

Love that kit! Wish they'd bring it back out, even if it does have the wrong engine.

[martinfan5]

Well I have to admit I know nothing about the car to be honest, a few years before my time. What is the correct engine?, is there a kit that has the correct engine I could use in it

Disgusting, ain't it? I've got glueblobs on my workbench older than him.

[martinfan5]

I will go do my research on the car and report back with my findings.

Agent, you will have to remind me to remind you to do that

[Michigan Madman]

I got it in 2008, when I was in my advanced mid '20's.

Haha still older then you, and when I was in my 20's I wouldn't call that my advance days at all

[Michigan Madman]

Well, 26 is on the long end of mid 20's, thats knocking on the door to 'late 20's'.

I went beater with that one. Next one I'm thinking of doing up as a period Michigan State Police mount.
