Large Scale Central

Firetruck

White!!!

Look back on the first page, at Jon’s entry, about mid-way down the page…

WHITE!!! (hehehe)

Too late. I already bought the red paint. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cry.gif)

Tank …was wondering if it was done yet? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Well you could always put a white pearl flop in the paint

Red, Bruce.

BTW, as I recall, speaking from personal experience as a kid, before the Cold War, firetrucks had air-type sirens that sounded like they do in all the old time movies. But in the 1950s, when the sound of a siren made everyone duck and cover, fire depts came up with that awful sounding exhaust horn/whistle that makes a blatting sound. Of course, now we’re back to sirens, kinda, but they’re the electronic kind. Where’s the romance?(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-frown.gif)

Most of the parts are painted. I’ll let it dry a bit then it’s time for assembly.

Found I need to drill a few more holes. It’s been so long since I took this apart that I had forgotten all the screws…

Nice, Bruce… So glad ya picked white…

Is Occaquan Fire Dept. gonna fit on the door?..(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

This picture is nothing more than a big tease! It all looks so nice. You can tell it’s going to be one super sharp truck, BUT, we’ll be right back after these messages. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)Really looking forward to the assembled version. Nice work.

Mmmmm. That certainly is a RED fire engine. I love it.

Yeah, for a minute there I thought he was leaning toward red.

A bit of twisting and drilling and tapping and it’s all done. Well, mostly so. Need to get some decals…just need to come up with a design so I can talk to Stan.

Looks great Bruce. All you need now is a fire and a volunteer crew for it to attend.

Already had the fire. Missed the volunteers.

Well done Bruce, Well done.

Even gots the Dalmatian…I’m impressed…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Looking very nice!

All y’all know why firemen wear red suspenders, right?

Yea, but why didn’t the Dalmatian turn and face the camera when the truck was moved?

And I can’t believe you sacrificed a building by burning it.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Yup, poor old Blue Moon Cafe burned down a few years ago. Suspected Jewish lightening, but no suspects. No firetruck in town then either…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
