1931 A Model Ford Fire Engine Pumper
image1.jpgimage2.jpgimage3.jpgimage4.jpgI have researched and modelled a 1931 A Model Ford Fire Engine. All axles, fittings, extinguishers etc were machined out of aluminium. Majority of model was made out of pine with some MDF. It took 150 hours to build. It is 850mm long and weighs 10kgs. Hoges

Keith, That is a great looking model,
at 850 long it's big enough to put my grandson on.
cheers John.

Welcome to the show Keith!! This is a great place to be!!
Great model!!!.
Were you in Hervey Bay hospital not long before Christmas? Think I got a phone number from you that I lost.
I was in there with a badly lacerated thumb as the result of a tangle with my table saw.

Looks Fantastic Keith. Any chance we can get bigger photos. Would love to see more detail. Thanks for posting. Are you planning another build. If so post up pics of your work in progress we all love to see it.

G'Day Keith,
What a fantastic looking model...looks like the real deal.
The detail and finish are superb, well done.
I second the request for some bigger photos to see that detail up close or more fully, thank you.
This is another one that would have been a treat to see as a "Work In Progress"; maybe next time.
Cheers, crowie

G'Day again Keith, I just realized that this is your first ever post and here we all are "agog" over your beaut fire engine and forgot to WELCOME YOU TO A TOP FORUM.
The toy makers are a great mob of blokes with a few good ladies; all very willing to assist in what ever way they can with there knowledge and experience.
Keep showing off your handiwork as everyone loves photos, especially WIP photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork and toy making.
Cheers, crowie...

Hi Crowie, Thanks for your nice comments. We live in Victoria. I am going to build another 1931 A Model pumper and donate it to a member of the Anglesea CFA. I will post WIP in future. Regards Hoges
