Ford T 1914 Firetruck

[harti20]

Hi all

This summer I built ICM's Ford T Firetruck. It was just pure fun to build it almost up to the end when I noticed that the searchlight provided in the kit absolutely did not fit to the firewall. There was no way how the searchlight could have been mounted (unless you would have it shine perpendicular to the street) without modification of the firewall which was, at that point of the build, already finished and assembled. So I decided to modify the searchlight instead and add some kind of cable conduit to cover the depression in the firewall which made no longer sense. Enough written, let's see the pics

Well done! A nice looking & very interesting  model. Are the brass parts plated?

Very nice work, I also have this kit. I have been waiting on getting the 2 firemen ICM offers  first before building. I also like that you left the tires white.

No, the brass parts were not plated. They are all painted with Alclad Polished Brass and clearcoated with AK Interactive's Intermediate Gauzy Agent.

I also wanted to add the two firemen to the car, but I gave up quite soon as the bodyparts didn't fit at all and as these would have been my first two figures I felt somehow overstrained. Maybe I'll finish them later when I have done some other figures first

What a treat to see two model  T's here on the same day! Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Museum quality build, Urs. Very sharp!

Really nice job on this kit.  ICM kits are not shake and bake, your brass treatment is very convincing.

Urs, your work is fantastic! The upholstered seat and shoe-string fire hose are great additions, very authentic looking. Your weathering is phenomenal. Great job!
