does the health insurance cover the cost for the nurse??

 

[Apone]

When I was sick when I was younger, I remember my dad buying me the original transport....although that one meant more to me..this one is wayyyyyy cooler.. lol

 

[barryo]

well i'm at the portion of this project i've been dreading the most...........the cab interior.......
im really trying to do this right and these next pics are a very rough start & i can tell some things will need to change. but i digress.............

the center intake will have screen added & another set of silver trim in front of that.

the back rest needs to be widened & cut more angular upwards to follow the line of the cab

the center console is a very rough wip.......but this is also before sanding. it will have a texture on the sides with a bunch of gizmos on top added at a later time

back rest & flooring will hopefully have a cool covering if i can find something to match the original toy.

i know the armrests needs to be cut down a tad. the hard part to figure out is that there is another post at the front with some funky angles.........

i also want to make all this so it can be slid in & then & fastened. obviously for painting purposes.

and i blame my ulcers & hair loss on you mark.............ALL ON YOU.............you set the bench mark so high around here that i just had to jump in to keep up.............

Guys, be careful what you wish for. You know we don't all wear little white dresses and show cleavage, right?? Well, for the right price I might.

On to the transport. That looks great! So far its just like I remember it, only bigger. Are you going to add sound? You could probably get a old one one ebay and cannibalize the sound.

One of my favorite toys as a kid. Seems like I got a new one every few years. But in 1/6 scale? Sweet.

im hoping to add sound but the original one has a spinning motorized record player type device. i hope to get a more quality sound. just haven't worked all that out yet.

Man, I just went through every page. I need to come to this section more. It freaking rocks so far!!!

 

[bjones833]

I had no idea the sounds would have been on a record thing. So much for using the original. You could always stick in an iPod

 

[sithlord13]

what about a "in your pocket type thing"
you know the talking keyrings with several phrases?

do you guys have them? they're nice and cheap as well

 

[barryo]

a little more progress i did over the weekend............
got the cab seats & console done. made it modular so i can fit it inside & take out as needed. used some artistic license on this and the levers next to the door really work (well as far as movement anyway) they are spring loaded controls off of a mini helicopter remote.

and of course more priming & sanding..........

and as far as the recording device ideas........thanks that very well may be an option.
working on the back door...............(now i cant even type that without laughing)...........thanks sithlord........
