Nice rescue! David G.

What a great tribute project! Nice work adjusting the body fit. David G.

Thanks Greg. If it's no trouble, I'd certainly like to see that. -D-

Hi D.W., thanks for your comment. The gurney I'm working on is rough to say the least. It would probably easier for you to resize the one you have than to invest your money, time and effort in making one like this work. I certainly don't feel that this one is worth what I paid for it. But, I did buy it just to be used in this build and it will... suffice. I even considered building my own gurney. When I built my Ecto-1, I built a set of proton packs and the rack to hold them. The rack is essentially a repurposed gurney, presumably remnant of the Ecto-1's ambulance origins. You may want to consider just waiting for the AMT's reconfigured release of this kit. Had I known when I started this build that they were planning to release a true ambulance version of this kit, I would have waited for that and done something else with the Surf Shark. As I was planning and working on this build I remember thinking, "I really wish that AMT would release a version of this kit without all the Ghostbusters equipment in the interior." I guess that means that I have two wishes left. -D- Hi Greg, thanks for posting the list. My guess is that the one I'm working on is a resin copy of the one from the Rescue Van kit. There are still some of those kits in circulation, I think I will try to see if I can get ahold of one. I have yet to build a van, hmmm... Thanks again, David G.

The paint job on that Porsche is amazing! ? David G.

This looks like a fun project. I'm interested in seeing how you make the modifications. David G.

Yeah, the "thousand and one details" stage of a build always seems like a slog to me too. I think the one thing that gets me through it is knowing how close I am to completing the build. You've done quite a lot of work on this one and it shows, it's certainly a build to be proud of. David G.

The paint looks great, excellent color choice, really nice details, fabulous work! David G.

Great looking paint and foil work John! David G.

Hello Everybody! The self-appointed side mission of the gruesome gurney continues. Here are the gurney pieces painted and partially assembled. There's a rather noticeable warp to the main frame that I think I can correct. With the frame straightened out just a bit more I can start assembling the other components. Assemblty itself is pretty straight forward. Making it all work together within the confines of the ambulance interior is where the challenge lies. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to share any opinions, comments or thoughts. David G.

That's a shame Bob. Maybe you could make it work as a barn find or junker diorama? David G.

What a great looking kit-bash Joe! Watching you pull these builds together is almost as much fun as building them myself. David G.

Thank you Jim. David G.

Best of luck with the paint. David G.

Good progress on this one Bob, nice catch on the fender ding. This one seems to be fighting you every step of the way but I'm sure you'll get things worked out and come up with another one of your high quality builds. David G.

Daaang Gary! That trailer and load is looking great! The tiedowns and labels add a lot to the realism. David G.

The chassis is coming along quite nicely, top notch work on that! David G.

Hello Everybody! Just a quick update on the ambulance retrofit. I spent some time using hot water to straighten and reform the most warped of the castings. It's definitely easier to work with in this manner than styrene. Resin is softer and more susceptible to heat and seems to have a bit better shape memory. Following that, I spent about two hours filing and cleaning. The two side rails are very rough, I'm not sure I can use them. I'm trying to decide if I want to build my own set or omit them altogether. Here is a rough knock-together mock up just to see how everything goes together. I'm really glad that most of this gurney will be permanently hidden inside the ambulance. As always. Time is the only thing that we can't get any more of, thanks for spending some of yours here following along. And please feel free to post any comment or thoughts you may have. David G.

Thank you Carl, I've sent you a PM. Thank you for your kind comment Steve. It's true about the rabbit holes, If I didn't rein myself in I'd probably never finish a build. David G.

Thanks for the link Thomas. It was a pleasure to see all three Lambos together. Fabulous paint and detail on each one of them! I built the Fujimi Lambo kit last year and boy was it fiddly! It's the one with the operable doors. I got them to work, but just. Here's a link to the WIP if you're interested. Thanks again for the link! I'm not sure how I missed then but I'm glad to have had a chance to see them. David G.

Gorgeous builds, all of them! David G.

Excellent work on each one! Kudos to you for wrangling all those decals! You must have a lot of patience. David G.

An absolutely beautiful set for the year! I'm partial to the Lambos, which kits are they? David G.

Impressive work as always Marcos! Each one is fabulous but if I had to pick a favorite I'd go with the Charger. David G.

Thank you Bob! David G.
