Hello Scott, Everyone has to start somewhere. Even Michelangelo started out scribbling on the walls of his parents home and ended up painting the Sistine Chapel. From the looks of things you are off to a great start on your Ambulance. I like the concept and its execution. Keep up the good work and who knows how far you can go. Looking forward to more pictures and a completed project. Al

Nice scratchbuilding Scott. Looks like it will paint up well.
I've been wondering about your "CUIDICH N' RICH" signature. Are you suggesting we help millionaires?
Had it read "CUIDICH 'N RIGH" I might suspect you once served in The Blue Mafia.

nice display pannels , i was wondering if you could take a sheet of styrene and use a dremmel (or a paper cutter ) to cut out the area between the slats on the slat armour instead of trying to cut each individual slat . not sure if it would work though

Hay Steve i have been using various sources for the interior and a bit guess work and imagination.
Just waiting to get some more materials so i can get more work done on it.
I have given up on the bar armour temporarally till i can find a better way to make it.
Thanks for the comments guys
