My condolences to his family and friends, I don't know of him but, I'm sure I met him at one of the NNL meets greg

Welcome on board, Good to have a neighbor here, Saw the Canfield fair poster, if you been there, you are more than welcome here. Do you know of the car model club in Ravenna, OH? greg

Got the brackets and light bar in place, I might just keep it as older model Land Rover. greg

Nice build, Reminds me of toon patrol wagon from Roger Rabbit, pretty close to the 36 Dodge greg

The station is in honor of Robert A Cinader. He was writer/producer of 'emergency' and 'adam 12' Bucket list: to visit LA and see the sites. If anyone has the dimensions (blue prints) of station 127 (51) I would really appreciate the information as I would like to build a 1/25th scale model of the station. greg

Got my shapeways order today: just some helpful goodies. Light bar mounts, sirens, steps, light pods, chain binders and Thule roof rack mounting brackets I had Matt make for me. Thay are available at his shapeway store. . Special project item: greg

He'll be a proud owner of a Rowley made model. Nice job. betcha it looks better than real thing. greg

Looking good, One detail that I don't know if it's on your list, but the gumball needs wired unless they ran it down the pipe. Did they use the military siren or something else? greg

Want to do 50's telephone truck so I mocked up two different work boxes. One has the length of the Revell 56 ford pick-up body and the other the top of the work box is the length of the pick-up body. Just put it in the back of a 60 Chevy pick-up to compare. What is your choice. short or long? Input appreciated. greg

Nice work, here's some thoughts Have fun with your project greg

I had Matt at shape ways make these brackets for my DIP project. Hopefully others can use them for their projects. https://www.shapeways.com/product/4A6RR2JER/thule-12in-mount-x8 greg

Had Matt (Down River Productions) at shapeways make these up for me, Great for any roof rack applications. Thay are the tallest bracket and can be cut down to fit other applications. https://www.shapeways.com/product/4A6RR2JER/thule-12in-mount-x8 greg

When will you run out of O.D.? Nice job as usual. What does this match up to? I like the German gray on the tires. greg

Just do it as a hobby, Started out in high school with photography club/class. Went on to college with graphic arts courses. Still have 2 Minolta 35mm SLRs with lenses up 400. Had house fire lost all printed photos and still in process of digitizing 3500 negatives, Have Panasonic digital camera which is doing the yeoman's load of the photos now. greg

Thanks for the taillight info. Is it difficult to order from them? How long is the wait for product? Any USA distributors? greg

Looks like a real mover, not a pussy cat. I wonder what a 68 'cat' would look like with the 'tang' fastback? greg

NIce work, 'dozer' detailing is great. Still watchin' greg

Nice fire rig, greg

Looks real good, like the details, Can't wait to see it towing a half of a double wide. Where did the taillights come from? greg

looking good, I like the fuel tanks . greg

Where did I see a supercharged Ford before? Oh! yea that's it. You got the fastest responders besides F+B Ambulance. greg

How to make yourself feel really old. The TV show "EMERGENCY" premiered on NBC this week 50 years ago. WOW. time does fly when you're having fun. In commemoration of this landmark of the adventures of FF/P Johnny Gage and FF/P Roy DeSoto this buckeye fan of the show would like to present some of my models dedicated to the show and the LACoFD. My first squad 51 in 1972 based on MPC Dodge pick-up kit, plastistruct butyl plastic rescue box, hand-made TwinSonic, IMC Dodge mirrors, Aurora ALF tires & wheels. Johan cop car stuff, Letre set dry transfer letters. Paper punch silver tape for slam locks. A reproduction of Squad 10 used in the pilot movie for the show. An actual borrowed LACoFD squad before studio built squad 51 was used in the series. Johnny Gage was only a FF working the rescue squad and wanted nothing to do with paramedicine until he met with Dr. Brackett and Roy DeSoto. Pictures is producer Jack Webb in front of squad 10. My 3 Dodge squads. In 1995 when Dodge change body style I fictionalized if "EMERGENCY" was to have a revival would the squad look like this? Finally, squad 151 a Pinecrest 4 door casting from the Monogram pick up, The 4 door squads are used as training vehicles enabling them to take 'probies' for field training at actual emergencies. Thank you, Randall Mantooth (Johnny Gage) for your contribution to EMS through the years. greg

Does this look better? Also have line leak detector to go on rack. greg

Got the Ford with the service bed 2 years ago, I copied the service bed parts onto sheet styrene and built a clone. I used Dave's slam locks, Tamiya dark green brushed on, fabricated ladder rack with Evergreen stock, Ladders from AMT fire truck. No real complications in the build, easy assembly, Hardest part was deciphering which part goes to which year of truck. Might have to replace long ladder due to warpage. Missing release handles on driver side when photo shoot was done. Still had to have a little 'red' on it. greg

Interesting that the light pods are period correct, I never really paid attention to those, Usually the bullet taillights from the Caddy were used for roof lights, The pods first show up in McPherson's book in 1961. then in 1964 the aircraft revolving corner lights (JoHan style) were introduced by MM greg
