Global Scale Modeller

So this is my first entry (I'm planning a couple more Model T builds)

The Model T Ambulance was first employed by the British, who used 19,000 of them, before the US entered the War in 1917. What made the Model T what it was was it ruggedness, reliability and ease of maintenance. By November of 1918, 4, 362 had been deployed overseas.

During WW1 Ernest Hemingway and Walt Disney were volunteer Ambulance driver's.

This will make an interesting little scene
Will follow along for sure, have not been witness to an ICM Build yet...want to see how they are as kits

Thank you Scott. This is a nice departure for me as I usually build German WW2 military.

And so it begins.

Nice I was thinking of maybe getting this kit too, excited to see how it comes together for you.

Keen to see this as I'm doing a variant or some might say the base kit

Another very interesting subject good luck with the build mate.

Toyed with one of the ICM kits myself so really looking forward to seeing how this comes together.

Ditto.

-gulps- No pressure then? :p

Got the engine painted up. Didn't go overboard with the painting, as a lot of this won't be seen.

Yes so much much work gets hidden away.

This weekend's progress so far.

Hi Darren.
I choose not to follow the instructions implicitly and didn't add part B42 ( I see that you haven't either yet ). Lucky I didn't because if I had then I would not have been able to fit the bonnet.

Looking good and thanks for this tip mate

Thank you for the heads up. Knowing that I won't install B42 then. Anything to make life easier.

Today's progress on the Ambulance.

I've Xtracrylics for the Olive Drab, Citadel's Stormhost Silver for the fuel tank and Ceramite White for the interior. And I had no problems with fit so far.

And it's decalling time. I must say I'm pleased with how the decals behaved. No issues at all, they bedded down well after applications of Micro set and Micro Sol once the decals were on. The Ambulance has now had a Matt Coat, and is looking sweet. I'm really enjoying this build.

Wow fast build and she looks like a fun build.

Thank you. I'm enjoying as its not something I usually build.

Did a bit more on the Ambulance yesterday by painting and fitting the tailgate.

Today's progress on the Ambulance. I'm nearly done now with only the spare tire and the lights to add.

And started the base, and as I'm modelling on a budget I've used an old CD case. It's looking very muddy.

DSC_3694_12041 by Darren Greenwood, on Flickr

And started the figure's I'm using (I'm not using all the figures supplied with the kit)

DSC_3698_12044 by Darren Greenwood, on Flickr

Very tidy work mate - and great idea using the CD case for the dio base too that's another one filed away for future use

Thanks Neil.

A couple of days of progress. Not much left to do now.
