Thanks for following so far.

Well… the firetruck is… (drum roll)… DONE!
It's been a crazy but fun project so far. There'll be always something to do, but it was time for our first trip. I would like to thank my dad very very much for his expertise and his help with this project because without him it wouldn't look like this at all Besides my great dad i also want to thank my girlfriend for the paint job (sorry for the blisters on your knees ).

In the meantime we're back from our first road trip with BARTH (this is his new name after the trip because he's a real personality and besides the stickers on the side say the same). He did a fantastic job… no problems what so ever.

Here are the final pics for this topic:
Some detail shots…






The final result...




Some "on the road" pics…



Barth's first foreign location...





And of course his award...


Thank you all for following this topic!
Cheers, Jochem & Tiki

Hi Jochem, Just spotted this post from a while back, would love to see the pictures, for some reason they don't seem to work. I think the pictures may be just the inspiration I need to get stuck into my conversion and I'm sure I'm not alone!

Hi and325,
It has been a while since I've been on the forum. Indeed, all the links to my pictures are broken and i need to figure out how I can fix this. In the meantime you can check it on http://meetbarth.tumblr.com/
