Large Scale Central

Washington Fire Co. No.1

Fantastic, but where are the 10 spot lights between the corbels. Oh, and no fire house is complete without a flag pole with gold eagle on top Sven

Whats that Brian a '53 Ward Lafrance?

I want to say it's a '38 something or other (LaFrance sounds right). Its made by YatMing. I did that scene for a customer to go with his Colorado Models firehouse.

Only remember 3 spot lamps Dave and a stupid half assed spot set up to the left added recently? Also remember red bulb in center of garage door as a kid used to illuminate…Was that red bulb standard practice or could this turn into a speak easy thread? I’m thinkin’ boobs :wink:

Look closely between the corbels

Red light always flash for warning. On the old call boxes on the street corners they had a red bulb to indicate fire while police call boxes had a blue bulb Spot to the left placed to iluminate flag after laws changed and you can fly the flag 24/7 as long as it’s lit at night.

Well Brian the scene looks good but needs a little more hose in the street

OK I’m digging this build back up as there has been some discussion on the Sintra or PVC board. I have stated what happened to my buildings from the heat of summer and warned what will happen. I have ridge vent and soffit vents on this structure with holes drilled under the roof. All I can say is anyone building with this stuff and planning on putting it in semi/ full sun I would highly suggest reinforcing it. I used a very simple redwood bracing and it was not enough. If you review the build the roof sat into the top of the walls and the building was screwed to a base. All 4 walls and the roof warped in the sun. So for those that don’t believe this will happen I say ok ?? I’ll let the pictures tell the rest.

Ouch :open_mouth:
Ralph

YOU forgot to bring the pictures with you this time Ralph…Ouch is right. Had the same issue with the acrylic as well. The coro did warp some but nothing like the pvc or acrylic, actually the acrylic was the worst so far.

Guess this means more structure to the structure builds.

I don’t think that’s to code. :wink:

I wonder if you have enough vents?
