Hi im Peter. I'm now as my wive says entering my second childhood. I have a passion for diecast fire engines or emergency vehicles.

Wow brilliant that's what I am after ...... This project is driving me crazy as can you supply the finished item and what would the cost be...

Peter Collins

Thanks for the help so far I think Ive found a Uk based supplier ... I hope. So im going to make a few inquiries with them and see what happens.

I would 3D draw it at 1:1 scale then reduce the size to 1/50. To get the 1/50 scale size just divide each dimension by 50, so:-

 

 

Height 1160/50 = 23.2mm

 

Length 1200/50 = 24.0mm

 

Width 1000/50 = 20.0mm

Thanks for that info.

So in reality I'm looking for about 12 individual bulk foam containers for the trailer and this leaves me space to get a couple of other things to be made.

That appears to be a completely standard pallet tank (forget the proper name but it will come to me). I have several downstairs if you want the measurements.

 

Edit: IBC.

Yes please if possible some images to confirm they are what I need. Any chance of pointing me in the direction of were I can get some printed.

Ive had time to search for a Bulk foam container that is used by the fire service.

the size of units are

Height (mm):  1160

Length (mm): 1200

Width   (mm): 1000

So how do i find out the relative scale. The model is 1:50

Last year I purchased a  Corgi Classics Twin Axle Flatbed Trailer Model 1 50 Scale

Ive been looking for some one to do some 3d printing.

I noticed a London fire service foam unit on flickr and I decided to not create the foam unit itself but the High expansion foam containers and a few other pieces. But to date I have not found anyone just willing to create the items I want. They normally want to create the full item.. Maybe at a later date.

So do you know anyone that can help

Ive attached images of the unit I purchased and a few pics of the foam units to give you an idea of what i'm after.
