Are there any other built up original release mini pumpers out there? Here is mine, it has had some modifications through the years. Built when introduced back when. Added parts from MPC Dodge pick up, Aurora 1/32nd ALF pumper, AMT extinguishers from rescue van. Tires from MPC camper kit. Homemade TwinSonic, gumball light from AMT ALF kit. paint was local hardware store branded spray can for .89 cents. I changed the grille for another project. greg

Finger food...yum!

Both old AMT and MPC broncos have those mirrors. greg

I don't know what RoG added to the tires but I had bad tires in the SImba and was fortunate to get replacements from RoG. Nice build, In my opinion the kit seems bigger in scale and bulkier than the Italeri kit. The real challenge was the Heller Dalahye Bonneville ladder. greg

Times is a popular name for a newspaper.

Just tried to mail 2 packages with small parts and the KAREN behind the counter whined that the boxes were to small and had no room for the stamp. Picked up my boxes and went to another Post Office and the clerk took the packages, got the stamp and tracker upc on the boxes and took my money. greg

MOR= Modeling On Retirement. Fact or fiction can you build all your stash during retirement.

Nice job Terry, The die cast blanks are great canvases for police/fire vehicles. I used the Motormax Raptor and Crown Vic for border patrol units. The Revell snap Raptor was another Border Patrol. I've got a lot of Bill Bozo government license plate if you want some, PM me. Glad they up dated the Explorer. greg

Yes, I wanted to show that the ALF roofs can be combined to make a sedan roof. . greg

Nice conversion greg

Using Tamiya X10 gun metal air brushed for paint, Bill Bozo decals (which need updated) stock kit, Tamiya clear blue on kit light bar. I used the little clear mold plugs for the radar units and digital antenna. Dressmaking pins for the antennas, Load on antenna is piece of hose from Ertl/MPC cement mixer. greg

I thought I lost the Hood from my kit and bought a new one from round 2. I knew as soon as I painted the new hood OSP silver I would find my original hood. I recall someone wanting the Persuit hood for the R/T build. Whoever you were please PM me and we can work out a deal. greg

Ok, let's get the history straight. The first Eisbrenner Seagrave casting was no detail single release slush mold. The first I got was a yellow casting that I made into YFD's 1958 rescue squad which was one of four rescue squads made on the sedan pumper body. A batch of the Eisbrenner casting were sold by GLMFAA for fund raiser in the 80's. They were a brown resin and no detail. Next generation was MIke's casting with details in the same brown resin. 2.0 version was out of a caster in I believe Oklahoma which included interior and part details in a white material. The last version was out of the Detroit club that did casting: I believe they were motor city casters which is defunct at this time. This casting is in a white material with chrome parts as grill, pump panels, ALF frame and interior dash and seats. Now onto DIY if your ambitious. The roofs from the AMT/ALF cabs when placed together will make the sedan roof, sheet stock for the sides and fenders. The front nose can be made by forming from the material that Charlie uses or planking the shape like shipbuilders and plane builders use to make curved surfaces. The hood top is also ALF roof pieces. I had the fortunate ability of obtaining many Aurora 1/32 ALF pumpers when they ran the second run in the 70's. I used the roofs from that kit to do a 1/32 squad. My apology for hijacking this thread for this information. greg
