Terry Jessee Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 This is one of my favorite models. It's a Lindberg '97 Crown Vic done as a slightly updated cruiser from "Men in Black." I did it really plain-Jane, and had most of my fun in the interior. The infamous "don't touch the red button" handle is there, along with a Roswell alien that started out as a pewter chess piece. He was just the right size. In back, I had fun with antennas. The black one in the center of the trunk is a modified pursuit light from a '78 Monaco. I call it a "Programmable Hyaline (transparent) Light-emitting Gaseous Magnatometer" or PHLEGM unit. It's also known as a "geek finder." The wheels and hubcaps came from an aftermarket police car accessory company called "Models by Tony." He's been out of business for years. It's a shame. Those wheels give the car a real "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" look. Terry
Foxer Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Finally a Vic with the mid chrome circle done! Looks fantastic in that smooth black. Are there any interior photos we might see?

Captain Obvious Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 That's hot! Wasn't this the subject of an article in that "other" magazine a few years ago?
Terry Jessee Posted November 27, 2009 Author Posted November 27, 2009 That's hot! Wasn't this the subject of an article in that "other" magazine a few years ago? Yeah, I think the focus was on bringing out detail in the interior. Terry
Guest Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Nice work Terry. Black is hard to pull off, and you did it.
