It sounds like you have a big service family, too. Thanks for your kind words. I googled both "realtoys" and"real toys" fire truck and found a couple that looked looked similar, but they were part of expensive sets ($40). I think I paid about $6 for this one. I'll keep looking and will let you know if I find one.<br /><br />@Irqan: I know what you mean. We tend to remember the best things better.<br /><br />@Vampifan: Thanks very much. I knew I couldn't get my lettering as nice as you had done and decided these minis needed a little extra oomph. I was going to paint my Night Rangers black, too, but I didn't want to totally copy everything on your blog. :) Speaking of your blog, I have a suggestion for you. What would you think of adding a new page for your Miniature Reviews?Luckyjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572819691139763475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797331547651284116.post-75890701620531055102012-04-14T03:44:54.095-07:002012-04-14T03:44:54.095-07:00Lovely tree.

As my scenery collection grows I have a lot of things I can use for backdrops. :)<br /><br />@Adam: Thanks, yeah it is a great view. I'm very lucky.<br /><br />@Ray: Thanks. I even have some for vehicles from the same set.<br /><br />@Dr. Willett: Thanks. That's too bad about the allergies. Allergies can be a real pain.<br /><br />@Gunrunner: Thanks. It was a nice way to paint. Except I kept trying to grab the pink paint. :)<br /><br />@Anne: Thanks. I love lilacs. Firetrucks are kinda essential for zombie gaming. :) I hope you have a great weekend, too.<br /><br />@Mecha Ace: Thanks. It's a lot better than my last place with no view. :)<br /><br />@Lead Legion: Thanks very much. 8 more done.<br /><br />@Mathyoo: I'll bet that Mandarin tree does smell good. I love oranges. You're right the decals were a little too big. One I had to wrap around and it shows. Still lots better than I could freehand. :) I have a little sheet of SWAT and one of police. E-mail me your address and I'll forward them to you.<br /><br />@PapaSpanky: I didn't know you were a Firefighter. You guys do a great service for all of us. Thanks very much for taking care of the rest of us.
