Maindrian Pace Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Very nice Jules, and it looks like it's been run through plenty of Metropolis muck. -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Very nice, where did you get those decal sheets from ??I'm looking for some for the Revell Caprice I've just got .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Jules Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks guys. The sheet is one i worked on with another guy in the US, as we both bought one off US ebay and found nothing but stupid errors, inc the wrong spelling of words..I put those up a few months ago on here. We worked on doing our own sheet. Took a few month to iron out the slight errors, size, font etc. And finally happy with the sheet after around 2000 images looked at, making sure to avoid tv/movie cars lol. This was a early sheet, same decal sheet but fitting a Charger.....Those were taken off when we found the problems, and in a few days once complete this Impala, i will use the decals from the same sheet for the Charger that is still on our sheet from the Impala build and complete that. If your interested in a sheet, drop me a PM. Price we came up with was £12.99 and US postage would be £4. Also scratch building perfect push bar for the Charger, and new items inside. I think the link below this image should work to that full album.....im pretty new to Photobucket. http://s955.photobucket.com/user/mrcooljules/library/Lindberg%201-24th%20Charger%20Cop%20Car?sort=3&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av405 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Don't forget to add the amber arrow stick at the rear of the light bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Jules Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Don't forget to add the amber arrow stick at the rear of the light bar. I looked at a good few images, i couldnt see the orange segments unless the rear was lit up so didnt plan on detailing it further. I can always on it if i get some good images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The cop figure i need to cut and redo as NYPD, and the other figure, change hair and add clothing so late in the year. Put some trash in the gutter, and added water effect for puddles along some of the gutter too. I will take better photos as i go along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Nice job on the RMP. The 9-4 just happens to be the precinct in my neighborhood, the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn. BTW, you need to redo the RMP/PCT info on the left rear quarter. You applied it as "PCT 94". Edited October 27, 2014 by SfanGoch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Jules Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks for spotting out the error :-) Too late to redo on this model but will fix it on the decal sheet. I know i forgot to add the end of the blue stripe that meets the light cluster/end of rear wing, it should be right upto the edge and not stop leaving a gap. I cut the long decal into 4 pieces to make it easier to get in right position but forgot to put the ends back on. I can fix that later as still got lots of blue stripe. I tried putting the model infront of a image a monitor, but it doesnt look too good and photography im bad at . I still need to add that little black box on the rear boot lid, i guess its a aeriel.

English Jules Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 You cant see from those angles but the 2 low down rear bumper stickers on the car, i see often are peeling around the edges, dirt, scuffs and scrapes so i made the decals look more like 'stickers' with the edges a little not stuck down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Jules Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Great weathering & road diorama Jules. I hate polished Cop cars. Keep 'em mean n dirty !! thanks, must take some better images :-) where did you get the decals? Researched, designed and printed them with another guy in the UK, Final tweaks have been done. Also got a Charger sheet completed and a sheet for various all white CV's has just been done. That leaves a Caprice sheet for forth one that will be ready to offer in Dec. Also working on a SUV, larger NYPD/Correction decal sheets, for MU vehicles etc at the moment (im doing a Expedition MU SUV, and then scratch building a horse box to go behind, and decal up). Trouble is not found a single image showing the rear of a NYPD Expedition, late 90s, early 2000's, closest is a Tahoe like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/70127529@N00/5737135922 We both just happen to buy off US ebay earlier this year really rubbish sheets, wrong spelling (i put a post up before showing that lol) and wrong fonts etc so we decided to do our own for the LIndberg Charger.......then we got carried away lol. We looked at around 500 images at least, often much more to notice small variations, sizes, fonts, repaired body panels with replaced markings etc so lots of little variations between them. If anyone is on Facebook, my friend (never knew him before we got talking about US cop car decal sheets a few months ago) as put some of the pre release test ones he did on a CV this week. You can his CV in this Model Cop Car group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/POLICEandEMERGENCYdiecastANDmodelVEHICLES/ He, more than me, as i just look and study images then get test sheets to use and then tell him things im not happy with etc, as its him that does the decal sheet design, redoing things over and over until we are both happy and actual printing of the decals etc. lol. Each sheet will do 2 vehicles, 2 Impala's, 2 Chargers etc, each sheet has the same type of vehicle (not like we planned at first, ie one Impala and one Charger etc) with many various options on each sheet. We talked about a price aimed at £12.99 a sheet, plus postage This was a old pre release Charger sheet WIP from some time ago https://www.flickr.com/photos/124764964@N06/sets/72157648502911299/ This was the Impala (im doing another with diff NYPD markings). But this is the full build pics for the Impala. Someone pointed out that i got the Pct and number wrong way around on one rear side. https://www.flickr.com/photos/124764964@N06/sets/72157646555755574/ The sheet you can see in the pics was again a pre release test sheet. I used lots of the various options on the sheet over and over on the rear of another model to make sure they matched real images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant get those to open, but i know that website, its where i found front and side views, but none at all of the rear. This is the SUV im doing. I will use the grill from the standard kit, rather than scraped off and redone kit one. Just trying to get the right wheels. I need to scratch build some scuff strips and the kit has none https://www.flickr.com/photos/124764964@N06/sets/72157649025220701/ Very nice thanks, much app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av405 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 But those pictures of the rear are on that website. I don't understand how you say you can't find any of them on there. Unless I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
