cjanderson Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Hay gang. Thanks for the add. I am a current LEO in the Detroit area and have exclusively been doing die cast police vehicles for the last few years, with a few plastic kits now and again. I like the die cast because it allows me the flexibility to install the SMD / LED's to light em up if I want to. When I was younger I did a lot of kits and lately, for some reason, I've been craving the detail work involved with plastic kits that are lacking in the die cast world. And I don't do much in the warmer months as far as the hobby goes cuz Mamma has a honey do list a mile long with the house. I will still do the die cast because most of them I do for retiring officers and what not, but have a stack of kits that I want to get knocked out. I look forward to seeing all of the great builds and sincerely appreciate the wealth of knowledge and tips on the site.Thanks again- Chris

StevenGuthmiller Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Welcome Chris! We could use a little "law enforcement" around here on occasion. The moderators keep things under control for the most part, but someone with a night stick would come in handy once in a while! Glad you're here! Steve
