EAAA Critical Care Vehicle

[Pantherman]

My next creation will be a 1/32 scale car for our local charity. It is to go with an air ambulance I built last year.

I promised them I would build their car to go along side the helicopter.

Anyway, I'm going to turn the white volvo into the yellow one. Pantherman

That looks an interesting project. Good luck.

So I have very carefully removed all the parts. Bodywork now ready for sanding, priming and the yellow top coats. Pantherman

NICE!

Did you not build a rescue (EMS?) chopper recently too?

Yes, they organised a guided tour of the facility including a close up with the chopper, great day.

That was were they showed me the Critical Care Car (CCC) and I said I would build one the same scale as the chopper so that they could be displayed together. Pantherman

Got the sun roof filled in and sanded. Had a couple coats of primer but the roof needs a few more. Started on the doors, will prime them tomorrow. Pantherman

Slowly, very slowly.

Compared to me, warp speed!

That's die cast yes? It's looking good. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Yes, die cast. My major problem is changing the interior from left hand drive to right. Pantherman

Just park it in front of a mirror…

Got the base coats done and a fine first coat of gloss. Think I will start on the interior body colour before getting the decals and finish gloss done on the exterior. Pantherman

The yellow turned out really nice. I think it's one of the more difficult colors to work with.
Great job.

Excellent work for a noble cause. I never thought of repainting diecast. Interesting

Thanks. It was sanded and well primed before I started with the yellow. Pantherman
