Graham77 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Am looking forward to seeing how this one goes together, these American fire trucks do look the business. Saw a couple when we visited the family last time and was thinking it would make a great model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Gypsy Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 And my progress so far; This is the chassis mounted pump, the moulding is very good indeed & the fit is fantastic. All ready for primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Gypsy Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 As with most builds there is usually a set-back, here is mine; A Carpal Tunnel op on my right hand, you guessed it......I'm right handed The stiches come out on Friday & as you can see from the previous post I can still do a little modelling but anything that requires fine dexterity is out for the time being.

Fifer54 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 How's the hand, Dave? I've scrubbed for a few carpal tunnel ops, so I know what's involved. Have you any progress on this one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
