Roll up doors are not hard if you are not making them functional, Did this years ago Evergreen slotted car siding and square stock Used this method on this fire truck using three different sizes of siding on the roll ups greg

Nice picture of the chassis, I hope he does have the clear hubcaps. One thing that the renewal originals had was a replacement parts lists where you could send for pats that broke, I used mine a lot since the camshaft always broke in the engine, I loved the suggestion of using Vasoline to make the parts move easier. Does any one have the radial engine? greg

A simple system is to secure thread/string inside the cylinders the length of the stretch, the string stops the cylinders before they come apart and doesn't interfere with the operations of the cylinder. greg

Nice job, looks good without the glass. Did you use a slow moving vehicle triangle ? greg

You might try a second hand store for an electric razor to get the screen from it, or replacement screens on line somewhere, or a razor repair shop (good luck). Maybe some photo etched exhaust stack screen from truck detailers. greg

All I can say is WOW! I'll save the rest for when it's done, greg

Project is completed, Secret build was to maybe help Charlie with his model that was shipped from Massachusetts to Hawaii. It was actually sent twice because of damage, It was delivered and repaired, so the need for a repairperson is no longer needed, thanks to all who assisted, This is a great group to belong to. greg

I had a problem with my cordless and I called customer service first and resolved the problem, Maintenance helps a good cleaning with air gun helps. Give them a try greg

OK, I got a Maisto 1/18th scale '48 service car and I would like to scale off of it down to 1/25th. I grew up between old math and new math so I am terrible at math. My mind says I divide 18 by 25 and I get .72 or 72% so any measurement I take off the service car I just reduce by 72% and I should have the right size. Does that sound right? greg

I had the 34 Ford double kit and I recall the stock version having brass plated parts and not chrome, The chrome parts were for the hot rod. Was glad to have two kits for the price of one. Along the lines of the Aurora molds the American LaFrance pumper was lost, If Monogram had the mold what a great mate to the Mack pumper. In regards to the Revell molds the Revell classic fire apparatus were lost at sea between California and Brazil on the return ship. That's why the last versions are in Portuguese. greg
