Years ago I attempted to correct the Revell Fire Fighter kit with a load of 3d printed parts. Now I've finally completed a CAD model of FF, and posted it and a bunch of supporting info on GrabCAD for free download.
No printable parts in the file, but I've created a correct shape for the hull and house, and show where all the "ornaments" are hung:

You can spin the model around using GrabCAD's 3d viewer.

Still want to build this someday.  Great work Pat.

 

I need to do a model of the Chicago Fire Boat Joseph Medill  - Engine 37 first.  I have a bunch of the original construction prints to work from.

Or instead of spending hundreds of hours drawing it, spend a few bucks to get them properly scanned and then post them somewhere for posterity. 
It's a shame how many drawings are out there that will never get shared...

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
