Going with a fire fighting theme today. Some inexpensive vehicles - the ladder truck and the smaller fire truck with aux. lights on top are Matchbox that I painted some extra detail on. The red #5 Dodge is a Roco I got with a lot of stuff at a flea market.

My AOTW is a Majorette made in France bus. I apologize for the weirdness of the photo, I took it from my computer because of reasons you'll find in the current LOTW.

neat But you forgot to paint the tail lights & the park lights on the Dodge 
I'm doing mine the CHEAP way & using a very fine tip red marker
About that Matchbox fire truck
The floodlights do extend up
Pull on the flood lights to make them higher
I found out about that by accident

"We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine..."Anyways, love the sub. Looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

| LOL. One day I'll get around to watching this stuff. I still haven't made it past the first season of the Twilight Zone, mainly because they pulled it off youtube and I haven't been able to find another streaming site available in Canada.

Cheez, I only remember some of the later color episodes of Voyage. Lost In Space and Twilight Zone, OTOH, were essentials, even though I binge watched them in the 70's as reruns.
Nice job on the Seaview's mini sub, BTW. Neat kit.
Jerry, nice fleet you have there. Great job on the firehouse, too.
