Patrick Matthews Posted October 21, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2022 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: https://grabcad.com/library/fire-fighter-fireboat-1 You can spin the model around using GrabCAD's 3d viewer. mtaylor, ccoyle, Egilman and 3 others 6 Quote Pat M.

kurtvd19 Posted October 21, 2022 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2022 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. thibaultron, mtaylor, Egilman and 1 other 4 Quote Kurt Van Dahm Director NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD www.thenrg.org SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Patrick Matthews Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) 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... Edited October 21, 2022 by Patrick Matthews Egilman, thibaultron, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Pat M.
