                        Forest Service Law Enforcement trucks
                        Posted by Aaronw on Sunday, January 22, 2006 3:57 PM

                        I finished these around the time of the FSM forum change over so never got around to posting them.

                        The first one is Revell's Bronco, the Ford Bronco was very popular with the US Forest Service being about the only vehicle used by Law Enforcement until its demise in the mid 90's.

                         

                         

                        The second one is the AMT/Ertl snap fast Chevy Tahoe, after the Bronco was discontinued the USFS started using a variety of vehicles including Chevy Tahoes, Ford Expeditions and various pick up trucks.

                         

                         

                        I used BMF decal paper for the decals on both vehicles, the light bars are cast resin as are the various interior details.

                        Those look great! I don't think I have ever seen that subject done before? What made you pick Forest Service trucks?

                        Well, I work for the US Forest Service as a firefighter so green things are kind of a natural subject for me, I have a tendancy to paint my fire engines green too Big Smile [:D]

                        I assumed it might be something like that! Well they look great! Now if you can make yourself buy some red paint... ah, forget it, green is a lot easier on the eyes anyway Thumbs Up [tup]
