LA Alley for gangster take down by Cops etc
English Jules replied to English Jules's topic in WIP: Dioramas
Thanks guys. Done more now, here are a couple of pics (how many can i post? i know there is a limit but no idea what) Ok its not letting me give the link from my photo bucket, same way as i have always done.... -
thanks for the info, the same seller had both Magnums at the same time, but with diff pics, thats what threw me. I thought the car was a little earlier than 91, as i remember when a Vauxhall dealer IIRC had some to sell. (after seeing the revell 85 box, 86/87 is around the time i remember) I have found a AMT Heritage Ed. kit on ebay, no idea what the final price will go for. Only snaptite one i could find showed a really heavily modded car with crazy graphics. Price wise this is the going rate for the Revell Camaro, i cant find apart from one the AMT kit, but i have a feeling it will go much higher so out of my price range. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111038256486?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT If the uprated version only came in 91, thats a good few years after the orig car release I have read this i just came across. http://www.camarosource.ca/rare_specialty/b4c/

Seen this Revell Monogram 1 24 - 1985 Camaro Z-28 - Rvm4015. Got lots of pics and decal options, but whats the kit like generally? Is there a better kit out there? RVM2019 - Revell Monogram 1:25 - Dodge Magnum SRT8 I cant find anything much on these 2 kits, i guess the cheaper one is a snaptite. Any help guys? thanks RVM4059 - Revell Monogram 1:25 - Dodge Magnum SRT8

thanks. I took these pics earlier, to get a idea of the final look, need to make telephone pole, complete lots of little details etc. I might go with a pick up instead of the Buick -
Revell 4th Quarter new kit announcements
English Jules replied to Brett Barrow's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I would so love a few of the later ones, such a shame if thats the reason The only thing that would be good about the new snap tite (are there any pics online yet?) would be if the scuff strips are not moulded on -

Thanks guys. Just a few pics where i am upto now. Still lots to do on the base, wall, make a telegraph pole and dumpster -
As others said the Revell 3 in 1 is a T bar roof (i made my kit into one of the 12 CHP cars). You can easily fill the roof panels in, smooth it all, then just use a decal shaped like the one in your pic.

American Lafrance ladder truck
English Jules replied to Maxicoop's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
what kit is the original pis of? im not really up on things like this, i know of the AMT/Matchbox one that it looks like to me (i have that kit). but i dont really have a clue. they look good though, i want to make a model of a LA one, around the 70s as seen in CHiPs, Emergency and GOne in 60 seconds etc -

nice. -
yeah good points. Seen the tv shows with the different gangs in prisons, showing what the tattoos etc mean, and the colours on the streets. I could go down that route, really heavy type, but for this more of just what im looking for, a guy or 2, forced to pull over, rather than the tattooed Uzi drug dealing gangs as seen on tv. I dont want to force people to look at that esp now still serving, and ex officers, it could be seen making light of such of the subject, esp as i see on the Facebook US police pages i follow, like LAPD and CHP, for reference images etc. it seems every week a officer is killed, road traffic accident, shot etc., such a big statement, but rather just a couple of early 20s guys, im limited to 14x14 inches, so not enough to have 2 cars in a line. So gone for a the car driven down the alley, with the LAPD CV coming other direction, and the gang car has come to a stop as cant get past, at a angle, sort of, due to the opposite side of the alley to the long chain link fence is a long brick wall, and a big telegraph pole. I use a lot of model making groups on FB etc so lots of people might get to see it, and dont want it to be too distasteful. This is the real image of the alley. I like the dumped and stripped car rusting away in the image https://www.flickr.com/photos/vfranko/31519664/in/faves-124764964@N06/ This is the other car. I think all black looks cool. im not into those 20inch chrome wheels, more just like a normal car, with say tuned engine, exhaust and loud stereo, like i did when i was a teenager. I bought that kit from the US about 12 years ago, as i saw almost the same car in a Cop car book. I would like to have a few inches of wasteland behind the long fence. Seen a pic like that with a old wreck thats been dumped. So thought of using some parts like in the image here With a NO TRESPASSING sign, and the brick wall at the other side (3/4s having rendering on, so only a couple of layers of bricks at the top) covered in graffiti and a NO PARKING sign Fence and gate not quite completed. I need to complete the barbed wire fence along the fence panel, and make some litter, plastic bags etc torn and caught up on it, as i saw on lots of images in the last few days I dont really want to go down the style of heavy gangsters like seen on cop shows,

lol yeah sorry. LA street gangs maybe a better word. those who add huge chrome rims and make their cars just up and down. I saw the movie End of Watch the other week, that was interesting (i saw the same Lindberg type CV on the tv news reporters article). Like seen in The Shield (my fave ever cop show)

thanks guys, the homies figures i had never seen, but i can see they are the same brand as the cops/sheriffs, greasers etc i have, the homies are like the trailer park guys, a little too toy/cartoon like i should have written modern, gang bang? type gangsters, i completey didnt think about the old tommy gun type gangster
