  1. Mark, I am sorry but I don't recall. We did visit their booth at the show, but for the life of me I can't remember what company it was. There were alot of exhibitors at the show! Thanks Mark for fixing the photos!
  2. Well, this is the first time I attached pictures to a post. The layout is kind of screwed up but at least the pictures are there.
  3. That is crazy. I can't believe someone would actually do that.
  4. Rest in peace Chief and may God bless your family and give them strength at this difficult time.
  5. Great picture John. Nothing like those old Macks!
  6. Rest in peace with all the rest of the Yankee greats Bobby. You were a class act, a gentleman and an asset to major league baseball. You will be missed.
  7. Home scanner is a Radio Shack Pro 433 trunking scanner and portable is a Uniden BC246T trunking scanner, both programmed through Radio Reference with Butel ARC software.
  8. To show you the mentality of these idiots, according to Maxim magazine, the most popular bumper sticker in Boston reads, "I'd rather my daughter work in a whore house than my son play for the New York Yankees". I think that just about sums it up!
  9. Good decision Seth. Thank You.
  10. Rest in peace Officer Morelli. May God give your family, friends and fellow Norwalk Police Dept. officers the strength to help them through this difficult time. God Bless
  11. I used to feel the same as you but for some reason, it's starting to grow on me the more I look at it.
  12. I agree. The pictures of the old rigs are great and bring back memories.
  13. A great Superbowl! One of the best I've seen. Being a Giants fan my entire life, I am very proud of how the Giants overcame the odds and really came together the last 11 games and got the ultimate reward of beating an undefeated Patriots team to conquer the Superbowl. CONGRATULATIONS GIANTS!!!!
  14. Very nice Art. You did a great job putting that together.
  15. Rest in peace Chris and may God bless your family and give them strength.
  16. It's definitely time to crack down on these inconsiderate motorists. The past two days have been like driving through an obstacle course on the highways. A couple of close calls with flying ice but I was able to avoid them.
  17. I hope you are right Seth. Matrix Holdings definately needs to revive Code 3. How about some new molds and releasing more than 1 or 2 releases a month. I think Code 3 was missing the boat by not doing more of the Vintage rigs. The Mack C'S and CF'S are nice but how about some older ALF'S, Seagraves and such. I have a definate interest in this since I have close to 100 Code 3 rigs in my collection.
  18. Nice job Shaun aka "656". Fresh out of training and you are getting all these compliments. I'm impressed! By the way, I heard you dispatching on 60 Control today. Good job.
  19. I ran into the same thing around the same time as you Joe.
  20. Well done! That is one fine looking ambulance.
  21. Nice job Seth! How would it look if your quad cane didn't match your walker. Just don't get carried away and paint your car lime with blue stripes. On a serious note, hopefully you can retire 169 and 170 soon!
  22. Seth, for your first kitbash you did quite well! Naturally, the first one is always the most difficult but I'm sure you learned quite a bit. I've bought a number of blank police vehicles and decaled them for various departments. I've also removed the pad printing on some Code 3 trucks and re-decaled them for FDNY and Mount Vernon Fire Dept. Ladder 2 just to name a few. Keep at it because if you did that well on your first, I can't wait to see your next project! Just a suggestion, check out policecarmodels.com and Roadblockers.net. They both have many decal sets for police, fire and EMS including striping which looks much better than tape or painted stripes. If you buy any decals, also buy the Microsol setting solution and your decals will look great. When I figure out how to post pictures, I'll post pictures of some of my projects so you can see and judge for yourself how a fully decaled police cruiser looks using decals. Also Seth, policecarmodels.com sells Tamiya clear red, clear amber and clear blue paint for painting the lightbars and they come out excellent. Take care and feel better.
