Large Scale Central

Wilderness Fire Station

Modeling
#1

I guess this is next building. First picture is what I was handed and a photo of the real deal sort of…

#2

Good start. Wildernss fire station, that sounds like something that could fit in the KMRR. I like it.

#3

Well tried something different for the sheet rock on the station framing. See first picture…plastic from Home Depot 5 bucks each. Got the sheet rock up after the electrician showed up and pulled the exterior security lighting wires. Coreplast roll-up doors are on the drawing board. Gotta be in the mood to build those though.

#9

can I guess?

#10

No…Ordered my clapboard siding, t-111 paneling, and a couple of metal roof pieces, so I am on hold so what the heck. What about interior lighting? With 5 exteriors I don’t know. Clear windows or “security” glass like packing plant? Humm. So many decisions.

#11

Well crap, now I have to figure out how to scratch build a BME Model 62…

#12

Those International Cab kits are 46 bucks…which seems a bit pricey. I might just build off a GMC Topkick chassis. I am going to dig through my photos at work, since I am sure we had a topkick at some point. These could possibly serve as the hosts for the project.

(BTW, I suspected you were going to do Yogi doors)

Well today we finished the Coreplast Roll-up Doors. These Gen II models. Learned a lot building McCloud Engine House that had four of them.
