This vehicle is a replica of my hometown’s Fire Chief’s car. It originally served the town’s police department before entering the fire service. I started with the Lindberg snap kit. Tamiya White Surface Primer and White Gloss paint were followed by careful masking with Tamiya tape. The American La France Red is from Model Car World Automotive Finishes. It was airbrushed on in a few light coats. Read more »
Junior member extraordinaire Justin showed up his dad once again by finishing up another build. According to his dad Matt he was inspired to build it after seeing the full size one sitting in a parking lot of a local EMS station. after he found Mom had drove it there he had to build it. Best excuse on why to build something I’ve heard, great job Justin!

Got a note from Jamie with SSB Resins the other day with some great news,one is he back working full time out side of the hobby and he is still going to work on the resin stiff as well then he followed that up with a preview of his next release! He says he is at about 80% completion on the ladder truck that has been highly asked for. Looking at the photos it looks like it is going to be a great kit to add to the other Seagraves he has, not to mention real impressive sitting on a table at a show! Continue on for the sneak peek at the kit in progress…. Read more »
