This entry is a fictitious piece that combines a Ferrera cab, Las Vegas pump, and a Chicago squad snorkel.  In this endeavor, I worked to incorporate some of the most up-to-date technology available. The unit features: A bottom-feed large diameter hose reel, a reinforced front bumper with a Warn winch, and a one piece front wind shield. In order to create visual interest and a contrast in the design, forward facing rear-view mirrors, similar to that of the Pierce Velocity,  were constructed. As Stokes' baskets were unavailable, a backboard was hand-constructed from cardboard and was later painted. In determining the paint sceme, it seemed that a blue top portion and a red bottom portion with the yellow stripe would be quite a unique feature. The blue background also helped the red warning lights to be more noticeable. This project encompassed five weeks duration...Darell J. Goodman
 

vehicle (based on a Mercedez Vito) which is used to transport a medical team (no patients which are transported by an other EMS unit or the fire dept). The model was repainted, all the rear compartment of the vehicle is made from scratch to match the real vehicle's rear compartment
(various bags, O2 bottles, boxes and other stuffs). I also added a GPS, the siren/lights control panel and 2 chasubles on the backs of the driver's and passenger's seats. But also managed to make all the lights work on the vehicle work (front and rear lights, lightbars, cat eyes
and  the yellow light to redirect traffic. To finish, the decals are home made The wires are nearly invisible in the truck, which makes me very proud.  The model was made for a friend of mine which wants to become an emergency doctor in this unit. I have made a short movie to show how the lights work because shots don't make them justice. If it can be added, here is the address of the movie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2_JjdaHHnE
 

This is a kitbash of a Las Vegas TDA-1. Constructed of elements of Las Vegas snozzle 1 and the Los Angeles County TDA-31. The unit features a tractor portion that was constructed from the Las Vegas snozzle. The Los Angeles County turn table ladder trailer component was connected to the tractor portion. Minor adjustments include: a larger Las Vegas logo on the ladder, as well as additional fire-fighting equipment added to the exterior, (i.e. shovels, exhaust fan, etc..) This unit was inspired by the current Las Vegas Truck One currently in service. Built over a four-week period, this was my first kitbashing endeavor....Darell J. Goodman
