Chicago Firehouse
Display
By: Hans Vrijenhoek - The Netherlands
The project is contracted of wood for all walls and
doors (cut out the windows on a 3000 ATB watercutter). Aluminum was used
for the roof shingles, steel for the fences (to make sure the trucks won't roll
of the cabinet). Marble particles was used for for the road and parking
lot. Real wood and greenery from our local forest for the trees and the
plants growing on the wall. Anodized aluminum for the Chicago Fire
Department sign and a plastic emblem from a code 3 dome Grass is made of nylon
normally used in the H-0 (scale 1-87) train dioramas transparent plastic for the
windows. Walls are made of wallpaper bought at the local hobby shop.
Parked are several code 3 models and 1 corgi. Also, on the parking lot are
some dub city Jada toys.
This is Han's first attempt on a project this size. A few smaller
problem occurred: The doors are not hanging perfectly and he can't find a
proper Chicago City or Illinois State Flag for the pole (can anyone give Han's
some help here?).
