    Oh, Snake, thanks for reminding. I've almost forgot. Just need to get to center someday.

    So, there are only three parts to be mounted: two side mirrors and a front licence number plate... Was looking for the brackets for the mirrors And decided to use thin solder for this.

    Then I built the mobile fire hose reel. This reel was carried on the back of the firetruck. When arriving on scene, one or two of the firefighters would remove the reel and begin rolling off the line while the truck was being parked and set up. Not too difficult, just need to be careful and...

    Hello all This time quite large update. I am getting closer to a finish line with this model. Continued with the three stages ladder, some wire parts and then switched to manual fire line reel. This reel was used to speed up the firetruck setup process. I wasn't careful enough with the cutting...

    Hello all One more update, pretty small. So, I made and mounted the side waterline ports and then moved to main water hose casings. These are represented as 4 red tubes mounted on the rear compartment roof. I really don't like making long thin tubes from paper, especially when the parts are...

    Skeleton frame vs sections in aircraft models

    Sometimes you can loose this pesky mm in the middle. That means that the frame should be disassembled to do the sandwich trick. Assuming it can be disassembled with no damage...

    Skeleton frame vs sections in aircraft models

    I can manage the wing thicker than needed. Sand paper rules here. But if the fuselage skeleton is too short, that's it, the frame goes to garbage

    Skeleton frame vs sections in aircraft models

    Thanks everybody! I tried to build several models designed with skeleton frame. I had serious issues with fitting of parts. Maybe I used incorrect cardboard. I like the "skin" method proposed here, maybe I will give it a try

    You bet there will be a new project. The list is long as the length of the exile, as we say in Israel.

    Skeleton frame vs sections in aircraft models

    Hello all Just a question There are two ways of building aircraft models, one by making segments with wrapping and formers and then connecting them and another is making skeleton frame and then covering this frame with "panels" To be honest, I almost hate the skeleton method. I thought that...

    Just checked Ronaldo's site. I think I found a model I want to build ;) :)

    Thanks Zathros. I really like making this model, despite the design issues and the mistakes I made. One of the reasons is that I have so many powerful childhood memories about these fire trucks. And yes, we don't really see "everyday" vehicles, as you put it, made into models, especially paper.

    Hello all Started the rear compartment. I had to form the cover by two walls, which was not an easy task. Finally I managed to form it, but if the part wouldn't be covered by thick layer of Americans finish, it would be too flimsy. There is no former inside. Pump compartment was glued to rear...

    Hello hello and welcome back. I like how you said it's a big part about something that is smaller than a peanut, a pealed one. :-) Great work!
