I remember my Grandfather telling a story of how he crashed one of the first US Ambulances he drove...he was a driver in East Africa and apparently wasn't used to left hand drive, and forgot that the spare wheel was on the right...he took a corner into the hospital too tight and the spare wheel hit the wall, knocking it down!
 I'll definitely be following this!

That's one reason why I took the metro or cab when I was in England. I was afraid I would have an accident either in England or in the states when I got home. Supposedly, some of the ambulances were made in England and they have right hand drive. It can't be that hard to switch can it?

I have more pictures to upload and Photobucket isn't working. Any other way to upload photos?

I got the decals on and did some weathering.



Added the headlights and the other lights. I just need to put the lenses on after I flat coat it.

I just need to add the lenses and the canvas tie downs from the canopy to the ambulance body. I added the metal brackets on the body and now I need to figure out how to add them on the canvas roof.





Bummer!! Look at that fingerprint...

I thought I would use a simple cobblestone street base.

Very nice! I really am drawn to the cobblestone base, where did you get the material? I just ordered several sheets for a base I'm working on but yours looks more random and realistic.
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you so much Lance. I actually purchased the base from Jose Rodriguez, He owns a resin company called Tiger Productions and he does a lot of stuff in 1/72 scale and he just branched out into 1/48 and 1/32 (took him long enough).  :)

This base is in 1/32 scale and I have included the link to all of the bases in this scale: http://www.tigerdio.com/ProductListings/Prod_SubCat.php?Category=Custom Dioramics&SubCategory1=Bases

I don't own stock or get any get back from him. I just enjoy his products. The base comes in grey resin and I just primed it in grey paint and then used various shades of grey, white, and black to pick out the bricks. I use Mig's light grey panel wash to simulate the sand the between the bricks.

   Many Thanks for the link. I wish I'd had this before I ordered the cobblestone sheet elsewhere, the rectangular sheet here is perfect! If the order arrives and I don't like the material I'll be pursuing this one.
Cheers,
Lance
