All,

Here's a preview of a soon to be available 1/24 scale Monitor for fire trucks:



The RC nozzle is fighting me now, after I managed to get the rest of it done.

The other products I have available are located here:

They were a request... Given the dimensions they only took me about a half hour of CAD work..... For some reason I keep trying to avoid the hose fittings I keep getting asked for.

I would think that a Storz fitting would be pretty complicated. Granted it doesn't actualy have to work.

They actually need to be simplifies to be printable... but I think they look the part.

They're on tap next... I've got some 1/64 scale requests as well as a personal project done now.

Not the multi color rendering was done before I decided to add details, and correct some of the arms/knobs.

Very nice stuff Matt. I'm a big fan of Fire engines and other equipment they all use and I'm glad to see through Shapeway/3D printing things are moving in the right direction for our hobby. Especially, for emergency responders equipment as there wasn't much out there.

I'm looking to make a ladder truck out of Trumpeters LaFrance kit by kit bashing cuople off them together and scratch build the ladder/mount. I don't suppose you could draw up a conversion for such projects in your puter...do ya? I want to build NYFD trucks in different configurations that are currently being used and there is no kit manufactured to help with such project. If they had used LaFrance trucks things would have been easier, but LaFrance Co is out of business I heard. Just food for the thought.

You can check with SSB Resins, too. Jaime does (or did) offer a FDNY Seagrave tower ladder truck kit. He does have a LAFD Pierce pumper listed.
