ukmodeller Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Finally! After building this kit and checking the lights every step of the way, only to find that when it was finished the blue lights on the cab failed me. Keeping calm..........sort of........and before sending it into orbit, I set it aside and went back to it a few weeks later to trace every wire and replace them (also had to dismantle the blues lights on the cab). So now, everything works and I have taken some pictures for those who were patient enough to follow this build for the past 6 or more months. I hope it was worth the wait. A video will follow soon showing the lights in action and I will post a link on here when it is ready for viewing. For even more pictures of the finished build, the WIP pictures and a video click HERE.

Very nice Kevin, your work with the lighting is always something special. Shaun Looks real, Kev. Excellent job! Kev. Absolutely stunning. I look forward to seeing the video! Many thanks for all of your kind comments. It is always appreciated and never taken for granted, and it gives great encouragement me to put my work on show whatever build I do. As always, I just hope it gives others encouragement to attempt something similar on their builds. It does not need to be big, just something different that makes the build unique. Thanks again everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Great build! The lights really sets it off. Does it have two-tones as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmodeller Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Great build! The lights really sets it off. Does it have two-tones as well? Thanks. I did think about it but the sound units are so expensive. Having said that, I may look into it a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Very impressive! Those initial low angle shots look very realistic, in fact that 1st shot I took to be a reference shot! Excellent! ATBRick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi Kevin. Really good to see this one made it to the RFI section. I am sorry you had problems with the lights - it must have been very frustrating - it's great you were able to get it sorted because you have produced a really stunning fire truck! Superb detailing throughout demonstrating fantastic attention to detail. Very well done! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb detailing throughout demonstrating fantastic attention to detail. Very well done! Kind regards, Stix Thanks, Stix. Really appreciate your comments. I enjoy a challenge and this one sure tested my patience due to the very limited space availalble for hiding the wiring. I hate things to get the better of me and was determined that this problem wasn't going to beat me. The best thing about kit building today is that there is so much information available on the Internet. You can find almost everything you need, including videos.

I'd really like to do another fire truck but the choices are very limited. So, my next builds will be a King Tiger and a Pirate ship kit. Maybe by Christmas there will be more choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
