CDF rig kitbash

[Stepjam 118]

I'm finishing up this Type-25 urban interface pumper from the California Dept. of Forestry. It's 1:64 scale, and I used one of those awful Road Champs cabs and dressed it up a bit. Everything else is scratch built. I'll post more pics when I slap the decals on.

WOW! Steve, that is AWESOME! You have quite a talent!

For those not familiar with Stepjam's work, he's also kitbashed, amongst other things, Yonkers Rescue 1 and Ladder 73.

Thanks for sharing with us here at EMTBravo! Can't wait for more photos!

It looks great!

What did you use to build the body?

The body is scratch built. I used a chopped Road Champs body for the frame, then covered it with .01 ABS sheet plastic.

I've got a stupid question. Do you absolutely need steady hands to do this hobby?

Because I don't have the best fine motor skills, but have always wanted to build Bedford Hills Tower Ladder 57 in 1/32.

I'm curious as to how you actually MAKE the bodies... I've wanted to get into this hobby but I have no idea how to begin.

Wow That looks great nice job.

Just finished. No unit numbers, since CDF isn't buying the Type 25 (this) after all.

I think they have three, which will be in reserve.
