    x2! What G said!
  16. Nice.
  17. Nice job. But, I agree with Harry. Half a job of weathering looks more incomplete than no weathering.
  18. Now, that's ... different. Great execution.
  19. {I pulled out some old pix to post elsewhere, so I thought I'd put up an 'Under Glass' post just to prove I do occasionally build. Okay, so I built this one 35 years ago! PS: I have built a couple of models since this one.} My oldest surviving build is from my second return to my favorite hobby. Built in 1977, this is a replica of the first-in engine I served on as I began my firefighting career in '75. It's a replica of a 1969 American LaFrance Series 900 open cab 750gpm pumper. Roof removed from an AMT kit. Kitbashed beacon and some scratchbuilt appliances. More scratchbuilt appliances, including the wye fitting on the compartment body shelf. Shoelace hose lay, and electrical wire booster lines. Yep. Individual letters cut one at a time from the AMT decal sheet. There weren't aftermarket decal purveyors, ALPS printers, custom decal techniques with home printers, or any of the things we take for granted today. The ALF emblem was dry-brushed with silver bottlepaint. More dry brushing (gauges). I still have this rig in the depicted condition. I occasionally drag it out for a model show, just for kicks. It still excites the kids and fire buffs!
