As we all aware after 9-11 many FDNY trucks where destroyed during the collapse of the trade center. So I built this truck to represent a truck donated to the FDNY. The kit is the Revell Germany Schlingmann TLF 16/25 Mercedes Benz Atego 1529 AF (Really nice kit) The Decals are from Chimmneyville. Built basically right out of the box. I did add working interior lights from Policecarmodels (great Stuff) There is a bunch of details on the interior that I will show once done.

Great build of my favorite car, After my first $1 million I plan on purchasing a real one

Here is one I built the last time the Huey was out Peterbilt 378 Big Sleeper with Helicopter Hauler

This is a Aoshima kit I found on ebay. I don't know what kind of race car it's suppose to be but I like the Wide Body look with all the bells and whistles removed including body markings. Does anyone have any idea what year this is suppose to be? Check out the rest of the pictures

Thank you. Yeah this is probably not something you would see everyday. I also like out side of the box thinking

Thanks..Yeah I will shoot an outside pic tommorow you will see the difference. The color is a very metallic Green Goblin like color. Thank you Those decals are from Slixx Decals.

This is a Italeri Peterbilt 377 I call emerald. There is a bunch of custom features including Zebra print carpeting, Ferrari Enzo seats, Simpons racing harnesses, P&P Resin fenders, and Valve cover, Scratchbuilt Headache rack and Black Chome mirrors airhorns and grill.More Pictures Here The color is Testors Mystic green and looks nothing like it does in these pictures

This started life as a AMT Dodge Ram 1500 Snap kit. I added a modelhaus service bed and decals by Bill Bozo. The trailer is from the Model King race team. I scratchbuilt a center pull out draw for the helicopter rotor blades, and a winch to secure the load. The trailer also has wiring for the brake lights and hook up to the pickup. The helicopter is a Hughes 500 from hobbycraft (yes it is 1/24 scale). I also added a few details on the interior like a flashlight, paper work, Crime Scene tape and more. Lots more pictures here

Here's a few I have done Peterbilt 378 Big Sleeper with Helicopter Hauler Big Helicopter Hauler Peterbilt 377 with massive sleeper and extendable trailer Monster sleeper

My ex wife is Hungarian born in Budapest. This is actually the new issue Revell Germany kit. This was originally bought to be built fro her but now that shes and EX I keep it.

Thank you. I like the mig powders the only thing is there messy.

This is a Trabant 601 Limousine with Budapest Hungarian Rendorseg Police decals I purchased on Ebay. The kit is built out of the box, I weathered the whole car with MIG powders to acheive the long used not taken care of look I was going for. On the interior i cut up the seats and added duct tape style repairs, added in a few magazines, news papers and other junk. The engine bay was also weathered to look like service has not been done in many many years. A broken window on the passanger side rear was also added. See all the pics here

Thank you

Thank you Everyone. Just happy I got it done and didn't kill it.
