mangodart Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi guys, here is my latest build, starting with a Roscoe's police car, I aded vinyl top, chage the wheels for some "mag 500", put some white wall tires ( decals from Revell in fact ). I've done a lot's of job on the rear bumper to replicate the original one, I've cut the license plate place as it was too flat, and make it deeper, I've done the bumper guards in scratch. On the front, I've cut the headlight and put some clear in place of, I've modify the engine bay to look a bit more realistic without the hole between the finner fender and the hood border line. Hope you'll like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbler75 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Stunning conversion! It reminds me of the one my neighbor had when I was growing up. Tough, sturdy car, and it survived a ton of abuse. Great job! Looks perfect to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 The last picture against the edging, from perspective almost made it look like a picture of a 1:1 parked at a scenic overlook. Very nice build on this. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
