Re: Fire trucks where do you start?
I really like imgur for hosting pics, but there are a lot of options. Find a host, and we'll walk you through posting.
Most scratch built bodies seem to start with atleast 0.040" - 0.080" styrene for the initial panels, then either cut in detail, or add thin panels on top. Gusseting corners and internal bracing really help with large flat areas not warping. -- My ALF was my dads built by amf wen-mac, purchased for him new by my grandpa at a Texaco station in 62.  I believe it's in the 1/12 to 1/14 scale range. Some measurements would help determine actual scale. Sorry for the continual hijack, i like fire apparatus...

What do ya mean "Cars are neither Trucks or Construction"? It's still scale, and i play fairly well with others, most of the time...

Re: Fire trucks where do you start?
That makes a lot of sense. Thick panels and gusseting the joints. I will look for a host. Would that be like somewhere where I can post videos and stuff. I give you the user ID and password?
Oh my gorsh. I have a TExaco pumper which My dad bought for me. Yes it is the big scale. I also have a similar ambulance but i have never seen that police car. It looks like an Amecian Motors maybe a matador Liking fire apparatus is a good thing. Are you in the US or Euro? cliffhanger
