Thanks for the group shots. My favorites are probably the 1992 CV and the recent Caprice you just did.
Adam, that's the Lindberg Crown Victoria kit.
I'll work on some updated group shots soon.
I've got a CV kit set aside to take another shot at a '92 conversion some day; I'd like to spend more time getting the back end right. I've also got a couple more Caprices in line, a '91 and a '93, both of which will be in the light blue but will have the city logo on the door (like the 92) as opposed to the PD patch on the 95.
6 hours ago, Mr.Zombie said:Oh, I asked wrong, sorry, which of the Lindbergs is it? That should have been my question. I’m looking for one that either isn’t painted or painted in only one color...
I used no. 72715, the Orange County Fire boxing. It looks like Lindberg reused that part number when they released the unmarked version. I went with this one because it didn't have the holes in the roof for the lights like some releases did. Some of the later releases contain taillights with only the top half tinted red, so watch out for that.
Thanks for looking-

As always, impressive. Have you ever considered doing a "family" shot of all of your Tyler cars?
I need to take some updated shots, but here's what I've got currently. These photos represent about 2/3 of what I've completed:
The collection is a mix of plastic & diecast...I take what I can find!
Thanks

OOB except for the license plates and an MV Products lens for the tail light. Custom decals by Speedway Decals.

Wheels & rear deck lights from Custom Squads, decals by Speedway Decals. This represents a patrol vehicle that was reconfigured for duty as a supervisor's car, so I simulated a few rubber plugs where the wiring for the roof lights & antennas were removed.

Really nice job!

Did what I could with the headlights to get closer to a 76, compared to the later style in the kit. Decals by Speedway, overhead lights from Custom Squads.

Looks sharp; I've got my Fury finished up, just need to take some photos. I wish I'd lowered the front end a bit like you did.

Ok thanks for the info!

I'm told this is a ‘58 Ford/Gerstenschlager truck...any kits/aftermarket that will get me close?
Thanks!

Combined the Revell Impala & Caprice kits to get a '95 Caprice; wheels & tires, side mirrors, spot lights, and license plate mount are all Custom Squads resin. Custom decals by Speedway Decals. Roof light legs are from Shapeways.

Looking very nice! I'm at about the same stage with the Yodel 77 Fury NYPD boxing; I'm modifying the headlights to get closer to a 76.

That looks great; are copies available?

I ran across a 2000 Suburban on eBay by Matchbox, marked as 1/24. Anybody know if this is the same tool as the Welly 1/27 model?
Thanks

$10 for the 1/4 sheet; I can usually fit at least 2 models worth of decals on that size.
Quality and value are outstanding. I really like the paper he uses, it's as thin as any I've seen.

1/24 MotorMax diecast model with some parts from Lindberg's plastic kit. Decals by Speedway.
The 1:1
The 1:24
The MotorMax model comes with mag wheels/low profile tires, so I substituted the Lindberg wheels/tires to get closer to the police look.
