    I had noticed that on lots of pics i looked at by chance.

    Yup. I taught her commands in German (i used to live over there, Dresden, miss it like hell really.) Anyway my wife speaks French (i dont and she doesnt speak GErman) so to annoy me she taught Witty commands in French.......... Trouble is she is so smart, that when i tried to teach Alfred, the bull dog commands in english....he was sooooooooooo stupid, she actually picked up the commands meant for him. He likes to sleep under the covers with us on a cold night, trouble is hes that stupid he cant get his head under the duvet as he stands on it, and has no idea how to open a door wider with his head. Muscle he has a lot of, brain power none

    Got some of his stuff also. If i can in the future find the correct real light bar all around pics, i would like to scratch build one, like i do with the bases and fittings on these plug in place light bars. Trouble is shipping to the UK now, even for little light things.
  4. English Jules
    took these just now
  5. English Jules
    Had stuff off him before. I have a load of those pictured, infact its the first one i tried,. Its not long enough, you can see on the real thing how far to the edge it is, but that light bar you show doesnt get close to it

    I do like to put 2 cars together on the same base, but either 2 totally different cars, or if the same car, maybe a slick top/ plane and a market unit, on a traffic stop. The American bull dog, was a foster we took in last year as it was doing bad in kennels, but he sorta became one of the family and a year on hes nothing like the skinny ill depressed thing he was. Totally stupid, beyond belief, both are madly in love together. Shes smart enough for both of them though

    thanks, really annoyed with the decal sheet having the wrong sized bits, totally throws it out compared to the real thing. Will have it next to a local PD car, either a burnt out car wreck nearby or a front of a shop........not sure which, what do you guys think?

    thanks guys, makes a good change from tanks and planes :-)

    I have a couple of decal sheets by Chimmneyville that look different to what i would have expected from a EMS

    yeah its my fave subject for doing vehicles. Nice dog too, this is WIttmann my 5 year old bitch

    Be a while before i complete one, need to save up and get some decals sent over, maybe Bil Bozo ones. I do like the NYPD car, after looking at lots of pics of the real thing, i noticed 3 different at least wheels used, and other things, coloured side mirrors etc I didnt think it was as complex until i saw it here, i thought much more basic and less part. I have seen lots of pics of these in serious crashes, around the front end so lots of parts, detail etc if i wanted to do one like that, lots of small parts strewn around the street. What are the weak points in this kit, useful things i should know before i start. Look forward to starting it soon

    These are the only 2 pics i can find of the real thing. I have no idea what the light bar detail should be, infact dont even know what the light bar name is. It looks like some sort of roof bar maybe is fitted to the real thing.

    Using the light bar from the Lindberg Charger, its the closest i have. Need to add radio unit and a little more work on the inside. I will tint the windows so nothing to be seen in the rear.
  14. English Jules
    Same sort of thing
  15. English Jules
    I brush on a klear floor polish, then when that has dried i airbrush on a tyre black, or something similar by Tamiya. I thin with cellulose thinners which is why i protect the rubber with Klear first

    thanks guys, i had these, the decals and still another pile of the same sort of stuff for well over 14 years and never touched them so thought its about time. Trouble is the decal sheets have so many errors, and someone pointed out that they had to redone to fix the glaring errors but i have pre fixed ones, like the white STATE TROOPER and not gold for the FHP. Each time i went to a new vehicle decal sheet i found errors. The FHP i will have sat on some grass at the side of a road The AMT Monaco, will be sat alongside a poor maintained KW 123 on a traffic stop. I do struggle with doing the thin black rubber strips on the bodywork, its a bad weak point of mine.

    thanks for the replies. The Lindberg Crown Vic im using is a later car than in the pics, i guess i can live with that. And as i added the rear shelf lights the kit panel behind the rear seats is different....not much i can do about that, the basic shape where there red rear light moulding, and i guess what are speaker housings. Its only noticiable if you place the kit next to the pic of the real thing I have noticed after looking at many hundreds of pics, slight variations in markings added to the panels of vehicles, interesting.

    thanks. For some reason this post has appeared twice.
  19. English Jules
    ah thanks, no one mentioned that lol. I will try to find some pics although if Joe Public wont notice....unless theres a better kit out there i can use instead

    Something like the drawing below. I want to use the Fire SUV and a same location cop car, so 2 vehicles on a base, either a burnt out wreck, or front of a burnt out building i will make
  21. English Jules
    I didnt want to go crazy on super detailing, like seat belts, buckles etc etc. Just the basics. I have ideas for the finished cars. The NYPD and Transit cop cars will be on a street section (thinking of a couple of yellow cabs in the back ground) Both cars have responded to a call on a subway entrance, so i will scratch build something like this Hopefully, been waiting almost 2 weeks now so getting worried, lots of the American Diorama and other figures will arrive, so i can finish off the 2 car, one crashed NYPD street scene
  22. English Jules
    No idea what the real inside of the fire SUV would be, radios etc. Most of the windows are tinted so i will do that and that will cut out the light
  23. English Jules
    The decal sheet says use the smaller of the 2 sizes for cars/SUVs but they are still too big, as you can see on the front door
  24. English Jules
    I started with the Impala, then noticed the Chimneyville decals had problems, then each car along i found errors with the decal sheets, from white STATE TROOPER for the FHP instead of gold and wrong sized items for the Fire SUV. I know i mae a boob with the POLICE on the front wings of the Transit car, too high, should be lower above the wheel arch
  25. English Jules
    Looked around, im guessing its the same as the Phantom boxing. Never seen the kit but people said it would be idea for a Ambulance. I have the AMT Emergency 911 but know the front is many years different to the rest of the kit, i plan to use it sometime in a vignette, a head on crash. Anyway can anyone give me some tips etc about this one? thanks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-25-AMT-Ford-Econoline-Custom-Van-/151302208558?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=f66vt1%252BRhPdQWx2CJK34pxBNBsw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
