Trumpeter ALF, I built this kit pretty much box
stock. The custom items are scratch built SCBA's in the jump seats, I had
JBot make custom deals to match my fire co. logo's, The hoses are made from
fabric with the resin 5" connections and a smaller width fabric for the hand
lines, the hydrant asst value is scratch built, this is the value that is on the
rear trail board, the pump panel gauges are hand painted to comply with NFPA
color coding. The turn signal arrows in rear and front are hand painted. The
ladder boat cover is made from card stock paper followinga how to article from
Scale fire house. Justin Sorrentino
Mack CH-600 UPS city delivery truck like the one
that delivers to the city I live near. It is based on a Mack CH-600 Unit with
air effects with a 28 ft city trailer. William Saunders
I was contracted to do paint and decal work on this
monster. It is a 1/8 scale mobile Dentist's Office that was made of some type of
resin for Dental Access. I have a picture of it next to a 1/25 scale GMC Astro
95 and Wilson Livestock Trailer I'm working on for the purpose of showing the
shear size of this thing. I had to paint it with an automotive HVLP spray gun
(to get an even glossy finish) and I did all the logos at home on my computer
with a decal maker program. Mike Ramp
