Playing with decals...
GLMFAA1 replied to Terry Jessee's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
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 -

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 -

Just a heads up on In Quarter Decals: They are various sizes and what was shown were 1/43 scale. He list his decals by scale in the first number. i.e. 43 = 1/43 scale they are good decals and go to the scale size needed in his catalog. greg
