Gaza ambulance 1/21 scale

[Edward Gore]

Found a plastic utility van at the thrift store for .99¢. 2 AA batteries in the bottom will make all the lights turn on with a dual option switch. I tested this circuit and it still works!

Disassembly to prep for primer and paint.

 

Then painting the safety red/orange along the bottom. I had to paint it higher than the prototypes because I had to cover the existing stripe on the toy.
 

Then wheel prep and paint as well.

 

 

Thanks for looking

Nice. That is something a little different. Looking good! 👍

I like it!

Question for you. Why cover the logo on the rear panels?

@NOBLNG, Thank for checking in and for your compliment.

@iamsuperdan, Thanks for the comment. I hadn't sanded it off yet and didn't want to advertise without commission  😀

The light bar parts are from an electronic component that I disassembled.

 

I masked off the clear light parts and sprayed aerosol aluminum color. The clear lights were horse-hair painted acrylic clear red. The rear light was already included with the original toy so I just painted it clear red as well.

The insignia and placards were sourced from the internet then scaled to size. Then I printed them on self adhesive label paper.

A few more angles are in the Under Glass post topic.
