FIREMODELMAN

s for the nice replies, I've been able to get more work done on the truck the past few day's. Still have LOTS more to do, but here are a few new pics.. Thanks for looking, Dave.

Thanks for the nice comments . The fire truck started life as the REVELL 41 pick up , I scratchbuilt the rest of it.

Sorry for not posting any WIP pics, but these two have been done many times, and I wont bore you with those pics..Anyway, the Coupe 'chief' car was built from the old Lindberg kit, while the sedan delivery was built from the AMT lowrider kit. They were built to go along with my ongoing Fremont,Ohio F.D. build's. Here's a few pics of the completed vehicles, the rear door of the rescue truck has yet to be finished.

Been a few weeks since I last posted, but I have been busy at the modeling table. This time around I'm taking an old glue bomb , and trying to turn it into an actual model I can display. The gist of the build is half a Chevy Coca-Cola pick up, and half of the AMT American LaFrance fire truck . This is a WIP, but here are a few pic's.. Thanks for looking,dave.

WOW, that is really a nice looking truck, your tempting my wallet for sure.

Thanks for the nice comments..I suppose we can call this one done. ready for the next 4th of july parade. I have more pics in my fotki, if anyone would like to see more. Thanks dave. ( missing door lettering will be added when the new decals get here. )

Thank you for the nice comments guy's. Here are a few new pics . I've been busy trying to finish up the wood bed, made some benches for lucky parade riders to sit on.. also I've been doing some lettering on it as well, Each letter is put on one at a time. Thanks for looking,dave.

so sar so good.. I'd like to get my hands on one of those to do as a heavy rescue truck..Good luck on getting your model and collge work done.

Well, here we go again with another bondo special. This started life this morning as two AMT BLAZER snap kits, I got out the saw ( i love my saw ) and began chopping both of them up. One was cut just behind the front doors, the other was cut in front and behind the doors. All glued back together. It has the look of the suburban. I'll scratchbuild a high top later , once all this dries up good. Thanks for looking,Dave.

Thanks for the nice comments. Dave i have seen that GMC, nice truck... Here are a few updated pics, got the body work done and a coat of paint on it last night.More to come..

VERY NICE, Clean build. Hope this is just the beggining for you, it looks like you will turn out to be an excellent modeler.

Thanks Ken, and i also like the one you built.. No i did not widen the fenders, i've done this in the past with a couple other fire engine builds, but this time i said heck with it..this truck is not being made to represent anything that was 1:1, just a model. Here are few updated pics, been working on the front portion the last few days.

Been away for a while, the board getting re-done messed me up .. Anyway, my newest build is with the REVELL '41 pick up. I began by making a scratchbuilt bdoy ouy of sheet styrene, and then added a little BONDO, ok alot of BONDO. Progress contnuies, but here's a few pics.. More in my fotki, Thanks for looking,dave.

Well here is my latest mess.. i grabbed two AEROMAX kits at the cincy show a few weeks ago, and decided to mate them, as one kit was not complete. This will be a pumper truck, to go along with my PETE double cab.. here's a couple pics.

two BIG THUMBS UP on this one chris.. nice to see another fire vehicle on here. I was getting lonley :cry: :cry:

Thank you for all the nice comments guy's.. I guess we can call this one done, somewhat done, as i still dont have a good air intake for it, so it'll just be like this till i find one.. here are some pics.. thanks again, dave.

SWEEEEET..man that looks great.

Thanks for the nice comments guy's.. Well i did get a change to do some painting, so here she is.. I will give her a knick name of "ORANGE CRUSH", paint is dupli-color HEMI orange, and WAL-MART WHITE..I will paint the upper portion of the rescue box tonight. All 5 light bars on the truck and box i made from plastic knifes, i just chopped up the handles and added some bit's of styrene, and paint.Decal's and stripes continue, but here is what i have so far, thanks for looking,dave.( more pics in my fotki album)

Here are some new pics of the rescue body.. To cold for any paint anytime soon, so i guess it'll go to the show as a WIP. Thanks for looking,dave.

Thank you for all the nice comments..I have to agrre that the build possabilities on this truck might just about be endless?? I did notice that along with the missing fender's, i'm missing my lubrefiner, so it's off to the parts box again..I started work on the rescue body last night, dont have any pics yet, i'll wait till it gets farther along. Thanks again , dave.

Thanks guy's, i had a small set back the other night, this kit was boxed up with out any front fender's!!!! lucky me i had two set's of 'em in the basement, they may not be the correct one's for it, but there close enough for me. i've been working on "molding " the cab's together, so far so good. i had a change of mind on the rear of the second cab, i will add a piece of tread plate to it later this morning. Front bumper has been extended, waiting on my foil shipment so i can finish it. I'll have pics up later today, my batteries are charging right now, so look for the pics later.. Thanks for looking,dave.

sweet, now you need a little red dodge to go in front of it..

WOW TIM, no difference between your's and the real truck. very nice.

My turn to get into this new pete snap kit... This build will be a double cab rescue / communications truck. I have already sawed off the sleeper, and added the extra cab and extended the frame. I still have lots of bondo work to do, but it's a start.

Well this one is now done. completed pics are on page 4 and 5 of it's fotki album. thanks for looking and foe all the nice comments.dave.
