Honolulu Hawaii Spartan/SVI Incident Comand Unit

[miatamadman]

After 7 years of fighting with this thing, it's finally done! Let the party begin !!!!

This rig is 100% scratchbuilt using Evergreen and Plastruct products. Only kit sourced parts are the wheels and tires.

Here is the link for the rest of the pictures http://public.fotki.com/zh/fire-truck-models/honolulu-hawaii-spa/

You should of known this was coming! A little table top hula!

The image on the monitor, is the crew from Scale Firehouse, which was taken at last years NNL East.

Inside the compartment are 2 folding tables and chairs.

Oh yeah! You just gotta have a dash mounted hula girl

That is AWESOME. The amount of detail in that is incredible. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to make a slide out for a Galaxie trailer. Looks like you figured it out.

[Scalper]

Zoli, you and Charlie need to stop messing with people by posting real rigs and claiming they are scale models.

Great job, as I have come to know you over the years, your work is inspiring, to say the least.

The fact that you are such a great guy is just icing on the cake.

Thanks for sharing this project with me and the other readers of MCM over the years.

I truly appreciate your builds, and friendship.

You should be ashamed of your self. Posting pics of the real deal and passing them off as a model.

OMG that's superb!

You have some exceptional talent there! The first time I saw that one in your avatar, I had to look real hard to make sure it was a model!

Hey Zoli, i've always admired your builds! Really great stuff! There's just one little thing about them that I don't understand. Why do you keep using the old, outdated AMT split rim ten hole wheels when there are so many nice, modern wheels available these days??? I myself have mastered probably twenty different truck wheels in 1/25 and 1/24. I do the nice Alcoa ten holes and my masters actually have machined aluminum acorn lug nuts and center cap to make them "full dress". I do two hole wheels the same way. I recently mastered a deep offset five hole that is used on a lot of equipment as well. I have in my hand, an Allison HD4560 automatic transmission in 1/25 (the one started by Klaus Lassen) and I also make a Detroit Diesel Series 60 that has been extensivly modified to fit the Trumpeter ALF but could be used for any modern equipment.

Please don't think i'm critisizing your work! I know it's some of the best out there!!!! I'm just wanting to make you aware of what's out there so you can make your rigs look even better!!!!! I would be pretty proud to see my wheels on one of your trucks!

Take a look at my Fotki site in the folder titled "Model Truck Wheels" and see what you think.
