1967RMP

I figured this counted as a "scratchbuilt model"! For our community theatre's production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr., I happily accepted the job of building the car. I had to scale it back mainly because it otherwise wouldn't fit on stage, plus being a children's show, the actors are smaller. The boat-shaped back is made from a cut-up sandbox, and the wheels are wall decorations from Michaels. I'm trying to be as accurate as possible. It won't be an exact replica, as I have a small budget and have to make concessions to whatever found materials I can use. And of course, time.

I have the Herbie version of the PL Beetle. For a snapper there is a great amount of detail, and I remember it being a pleasure to build. I'll definitely get the Coca-Cola version.

Great American car subjects, some unique, but they don't sell to the US......

Glad to hear you're doing the 79-87 Crown Vic! I always thought it looked more aggressive and cop car-like than the 88-91, which seemed like a warmed-over gap filler until they designed the 92. But that's just my opinion, and I would be happy with a 88-91 as well.

Jimmy Flintstone makes a Belvedere, you could just sand off the trim. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jimmy-Flintstone-64-Belvedere-2-Door-Sedan-Body-65/200723391567?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

There's a Fury grille on the Shapeways site, but the lettering looks oversized. I would love for a resin caster to make a set of parts that makes the Goon Car more accurate.

I remember being disappointed when the interior parts of the Joker Goon Car weren't as nice as what was on the box. The steering wheel is a lot more accurate and the radio is more detailed. And unless my eyes are deceiving me, the rims and tires are more stock in the photo of the police version.

It looks like Revell depicted a '95-96 Impala SS on the box art. The mirror placement is different from the '94.

I'm wondering if they were considering a styrene kit. The biggest clue that makes it plausible was the decal sheet for the latest version of the AMT 1970 Ford Interceptor Police Car. It features agencies and designs wrong for a 1970 Ford, but perfect for a 1974 Dodge Monaco (the NYSP and CHP plates even say 1974 or 74 on them.)

Pricey, but definitely on my wish list! http://www.model-space.com/us/build-jaguar-etype.html

Is the lady the last thing that goes on?

As a police car builder, I'd be happy to see any Chrysler C-body sedans from 1965 to 1977.

C-body sedans.

Is it me, or do the doors look a little stunted? If you compare the space between the ridge and the bottom of the door with the 1:1 it looks like it's been "cut off" from the bottom.

The one at the top (thicker) looks odd. I'd go for whatever's more realistic.

I was considering placing one final order with them just to get in while I still could. Looking through the site for the last time, there were many items I would have been happy to order, but nothing to justify the wait. Besides, I haven't gotten around to using the last thing I ordered yet, a 4-door body for the Revell 1957 Chevy. I still hope someone can take over the business, it would be a shame to have those molds remain unused.

Wow, what dedication to getting it as perfect as can be! I'm definitely going to pick up one of these bad boys.
