This is my latest attempt. I've stopped using the radio_1.inc file. It just
seemed to be too difficult to get the lighting right, while using it.
Instead, I'm happy to settle for a more 'instruction book' like image.
I'm still frustrated with the jagged lines. This image used anti-aliasing, but
did not smooth out all the lines.

At least the ladder isn't completely washed out as it was before.

I meant to clarify... in my 4-wide fire apparatus series I'm doing two kinds of
vehicles. One set will be based on real engines or trucks, the other models
(like this ladder) are meant to be more generic. More akin to the old LEGOland
style fire engines from the mid-1970's. It is just meant to "look like a fire
truck" not to specifically be a rendition of a particular one.

Wheels are fixed. I still feel like a bonehead though. :)

I actually changed all the window bricks in the cab. It's now a 1x4 without
center posts as the front brick. Then 1x1's as the side windows with nothing in
between. I think this helped a bit. Let me know what you think.
