If anyone is intrested the Nebraska Educational TV (NET - our PBS) did a story on the model.  It can be found at http://netnebraska.org/interactive-multimedia/television/nebraska-stories-model-remember-1107

Larry B!!!

 You are a man after my fashion. Beautiful work. It was somewhat aggravating to see it though. The Photobucket page kept inundating it with ads. I had a hard time seeing the interior parts you did. I assume they are up the high standards of everything else. AWESOME !!!!     T.B.

Well it's been a long time but I have finished my model of the fire boat LA City No 2 (also known as the Ralph J Scott).

I have just south of 900 hours in its construction.  Currently the acrylic display case cover is being fabricated.

I have some photos here for your viewing (forgot how to embed the photo so it's a link).  I'm also finishing up a construction and documentation report (right now 160 pages) of boat information, sources and lots of construction photos.  If anyone is interested I can email the PDF file when done.

For scale here is a picture of me with the model.
