  1. I don't think FordnCustom sees me, so I'll assume he also used Dupli-color on his Lindberg (?)

    I've found that they make "Ford Prairie Tan Metallic" and that may not be what he used...but appears to be close enough for buskers.

    Having read in other topics here, that; Tamiya primer first, is probably safest before using actual auto paint.

    Heading out to O'Reilly's first thing tomorrow.

    Oh! By the by, Foxer...I wasn't calling you "Turkey"

    I meant the kid

  2. My "skill" just comes from chopping tops since I was 12 years old and loving model bodywork, but it's nothing difficult and just takes a little practice. I showed just how that conversion was done in my build thread so others might see how to do it or even improve how I tackled the problem. Do show us how you come on your proposed build.

    You have something in common with the young fella my older Brother raised as his own son; Chopping tops, re-proportioning, contouring etc. at age nine!...TURKEY! I was so envious!

    He builds custom "Hogs" nowadays somewhere in SoCal.

    Thank for the tips and visuals

  3. There are MANY builds around of police cars using the Lindberg.kit .. probably just google the kit to see many. I'm not doing a cop car but am backdating one to the '92 CV my Dad had.

    The CV's changed so little it's not difficult to change the year on the Lindberg.

    There is a web site that deals in Police gear .. light bars and such ... but I don't have the addy off hand. Maybe someone else can supply it for you.

    I would rather mine be the'92...but I don't have your skill.

    Sure is lookin' good!

    And bringing back a ton of memories

  4. You've inspired me to make one of these to accompany an Inspector figure

    on the bench and near to final assembly.

    I'm inquiring about this fantastic looking "Lindberg with ModelHaus wheels and caps"

    May I ask what is the body colour named, what paint did you use to do it?

    I have acquired the lindy, and the wheels, caps etc. but can't sleuth the paint you used.

    Do you remember? And do you mind sharing ?

    Great work! Beautiful!
