Firebuilder Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago The industrial pumper is just about done. I have not been able to find decals that I need to complete it. So for now onto the next project. The cab is a Maxim F model. It is a 3D print from Ranger Detail Technologies. Almost Every thing needed for the cab comes with it, including the maxim decals. The was only minor sanding of some print lines that needed to be done. This is my first 3D print and I am happy with the quality and details of the print . I have not decided on what this build will be yet. Either a n aerial ladder , rescue or a pumper. I have started the assembly of the cab in the photos below. 1
Gary Chastain Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Looking forward to what you do here Dom, always watching guys building with resin or 3D printed bodies. Appears that is our future in modeling, lot to learn yet.
Chariots of Fire Posted 16 minutes ago Posted 16 minutes ago Got one of those cabs too. Have not made up my mind as to what it will be used for since there are so many Maxim choices out there. I remember Maxim building an airport crash rig with that type of cab. That would be one choice. The casting work on all of the parts is pretty good, although I think I would make the trim pieces on the cab face separate. The ones that are molded in seem to me to be too big. The real truck trim pieces were only about an inch across, perhaps 1-1/8" tops which means no more than 1.2 mm in scale to be correct.
