Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Thats about where it sits right now, have some time off comming up and going to try and get it wrapped up. Cheers.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

What a nice job! That pump panel,just blows me away! Dude! This baby is spot-on! I've seen some very nice builds over the years,& this one is right at the top of the list.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

I 2nd that, I'm in the FD and that truck is dead on! Do tou have pics of the ladder truck build? great work!

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

This build has always amazed me. Looks real! What type of paint are you using to simulate the chrome on the bumpers and other parts?

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

this is one that needs a before and after picture placed in a new category on this forum

one that has nothing but one before and after picture and a link to the build

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Thanks Freddy, pump panel is still not done, few more details to add and I have allready replaced all the decals with new high resolution ones, like everything on this truck it was a lot of work as you can't buy any of these detail parts, everything os scratch built.
I have lots of pics of the ladder, I will start a thread on that once this one is finished and I get back to work on it, it was actually the first one I did, the pumper is now #4 so the details are getting better and there are a number of things I want to change on the ladder.
The paint is called Liquid chrome and I got it thru Eastwood, stupid expensive and very difficult to get good results.
That is a good idea, let the mods know.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

The ladder build is over at scale in the top builds section. Read it, it is worth all the pages. Thanks for posting this one here too Fish!

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Dave glad to see you post the build here looks better every time i see it. Donnie Dave built my pumper body, i'll have it at the brookville show. he did an excellant job on it.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Yes, I will copy the build thread over here as well once I get back to work on it.

Thanks, you need to get a build thread going so I can follow the build.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Great can't wait to see it!!

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

WOW - that is some detail! I am astonished! Would like to see some pics of that Ladder truck too.....

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

WOW, outstanding build, great detail.

Re: Pumper Rescue

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Nice job, great attention to detail.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Thanks for the positive comments guys. Just started my 28 days off, couple small projects to get out of the way and then I am going to get this thing finished, should have some updates in the next few days.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Detail is awsome! I havent got my first rig done and you guys just bang out these masterpieces. Really nice work.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

holy cow wow:eek:, this pumper is awesome, love all the details, the are spot on, wonderful work, can't wait to see more.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

The more I look at this build, the more I realise MrFish is pure genius. I take my hat off to you...:D

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

The detail on this build is amazing!! You've done a great job on this rig! Can't wait to see more pics!

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Thanks for the compliments guys, seems time off = doing things for everyone else! The truck is sitting on the bench but been stupid busy with other jobs, good news is they are paying jobs so more money to pour into this when I can find time for me. Hopefully soon, still planning on trying to make the St.Louis meet in Nov would be nice to have this done and bring along.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Dave - the Detail in this build keeps amazing me more and more...I keep waiting for the housing ceremony when she is finished. Its take a couple months but I finally got the last lightbar you made for me mounted last night.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Thanks, It is nearly complete now, lack of updates is due to computer problems, was planning on the reveal in St.Louis but was unable to go. As soon as I get the new computer figured out, I will post the updates.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Wow! That's some amazing detail. But let's talk about that 28 days off - nice. That'll give you time to build some things. Then again, I've never met a firefighter who didn't have another job.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Thanks, trying to get it as close to the 1:1 as possible, 28 days off was nice but that was all my holiday time for the year burned up in one foul shot and it came and went amazingly quick, did get lots done tho (and only one job for me, just a sucker for friends and family in need)

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Great looking models Dave, any more updates or photo's ?

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Sorry for the late reply, been pretty busy, truck is mostly complete, computer problems have delayed the picture updates, busy building parts for others right now. I will try and get some pics up soon.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

simply stunning!!!!!!!!!!you must have allot of patients to do all the detail work
that is a true work of art

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Very nice work! Your patience and skill shows.:)

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Thanks guys, just got finished with some more light bars for others, need to find time to figure out the new computer so the rest of the pics can be uploaded.

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Didja get the computer figured out yet? I'm itchin' to see your progress!

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Thats amazing work wow !!!!! Did you finish this project yet any more pics or up dates ? thanks,Mike

Re: Pumper Rescue
 

Also curious as to the status of this build?
