My new MOD...

...EL. Yup new model. This is something Ive been thinking about for a while. It is a revell 2-in-1 kit. Did some kit bashing(pieces from other kits) and custom made rear deck strobe lights. I still have to add the mirrors tho...





Its not perfect, I could have spent more than 3 1/2 hours. But its a good first in my book.

Did you have to find that online? I hardly ever see model kits in stores anymore, it's like they're afraid stupid kids in MA will eat the paint so we need to shelter them by banning them. haha

Nope. I got it at a local hobby shop. They have one SS model left. Its a different brand than the one I modded, and a few more bucks. I might snag it

....thats awesome...... The other day I was thinking about building models and how in depth I use to get.....

.......my son has a hot wheel thats exactly the same as the low rider on the box...... lol ......

lol. I have ALOT of die cast stuff. Several different caprices of all sizes as well.

I had a good size collection myself but my son found them and several went to the crusher (bottom of his foot)

When we have kids, we will have to have seperate toy boxes. I dont play well with others...atleast when its with MY toys lol

........ haha I use to say the same thing

I have 2 of that same kit, one was exactly like that and the other came with the matchbox car as a bonus. They also make a "donk" 96 caprice kit that comes with the stupid ass 24" wheels, I took the tires and chucked them as put some torque thrusts from a 55 chevy kit on it instead. Haven't built one in a loooong time. Wanted to do one of every car I have owned. Chexk out Michaels (the craft and art store) all over NE. They still sell models. I picked up that donk kit from a big lots for $5 each last year. Good looking 9c1!!!

Thanks I was at Michaels last night and they have crap for models, I like going to small hobby stores and paying a little more for the best stuff. The spotlights are from a 96 crown vic model, the wheels were from a custom 2005 impala die cast i picked up a while ago and the strobes are actually wood. And I used actual car paint to spray it.

If your ever out in my area try hog heaven, they have a good selection. My father has like literally 1500 unbuilt model kits in his basement. He's a hoarder I think lmao! But only of models/diecast/matchbox and REAL cars, not trash like the ppl on tv.

I had that kit with the matchbox car, too. I've got a stockpile of the SS models too. I musta built hundreds of kits when I was a kid! And even as recently as a couple years ago. I love building models. Some took days to do with all the painting and all... I have so many in the basement I still want to build! LOL!

Nice Job, Brian. That looks great!

Lemme guess. The wheels came from the 1/25 Impala cop car. No I diddn't build one or anything.

Cool model thou. Haven't built one in awhile. Last one I did was a 91/92 9C1.

Thanks for the comments. I will try and check out hog heaven. and yes, 1/25. it was a custom build for the washington navel district and has all the lights and wiring. I am going to try that at some point as i have ALOT of 1/24 and 1/18 police cars that will only benefit from such a mod

It's a ride for you, but Pioneer Valley Hobbies in W.Springfield has a great selection of kits. Tons of cars and a good selection of kits, and scratchbuilding supplies.

Oh, and another great store, online thou:

http://policecarmodels.com/

It is but the wife and I like going on day trips on Saturdays. I have several die cast from the policecarmodels place. Cheap price/good quality stuff! Heres som of the B body collection I have in Mass. The rest is in boxes in Alabama.

I did another one. It not good at all( i repainted this one in 30 minutes and baked the paint with a space heater to crack the dash) Its sort of a "project car" influenced by that dumb kid that wanted $2500 for a no title Impala with a badly bent frame.


He still wont sell me the trink lid

Lol I love it.

Ha, I have that Monte SS one in the background there, a friend gave it to me (new in the box from around 1987) in HS and I built it, then some idiot knocked it on the floor and broke it/bent the roof.

i miss my models i used to have all those radio shack remote control impalas that had the hydrolics

Some updates for my other hobby.
I bought this 1/18 UT Impala SS from a member, a while ago, and decided to jazz it up today with some N.H. State Police decals from eBay. Antennas and dash and deck lights are in the mail...



I since customized these...

Bought these on ebay which ic nice because my '96 9C1 is from the LASD

Johnny Lightning has since added this fine example of a caprice wagon

Among MANY other die cast projects, Ive been taking orders from guys on my department to make these in all shapes and sizes. I even did one for a retirement pf 35 years. Heres a few...

I'll have to get all my police cars together and get some pictures. And speaking of models. I might be getting a '91-93 resin Caprice wagon kit from Modelhaus for Christmas

I am trying to think of where I have seen that many Attelboro police cars at one time. Oh wait!.....

Never mind.
