Janne Herajärvi Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Sean: What should i call your build, so i may "sign you in" ? Wayne: That blue is Humbrol gloss 14 called french blue. I like way it looks becouse it acts same way than 1:1 NYPD color does, so it looks light blue in sun and darker in room light and so on. Wheelman: Very cool to have some Lambos too, thats what i wished on here differend subjects from differend guys. Today i have done little things for Caprice like some detail painting. I hope i have something to show later today
Agent G Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Janne, that's a perfect color. Here's where I'm at as of today. This is Duplicolor gray primer washed with Floquil Grimy Black. I dry brushed MM Neutral Gray for the highlights. I mocked up the interior so now on to the chassis. Here's an old stalled build that I plan to finish thanks to this CBP. This was a car I drove back in the day. G
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Looking good Wayne. I like both of your builds Here is what i have done today. Painted chassis. It needs some weathering. Wheelcover after detailing. Front axle and brake disks weathered. Still needs some work here too. Cheers...
Danno Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I have a bunch of jobs that have worked their way to the front of my to-do list, so I'll join in. (Yeah, it's an ambitious list, but, hey, I have all the rest of the year, right?) I'm absolutely committed to getting these done!! '57 Chevy - Phoenix PD '57 Chevy - Phoenix FD '57 Chrysler convt - Turello's ride '59 Ford sedan - Crime Story squad '60 Ford sedan - Chicago PD patrol '60 Studebaker Lark - Phoenix PD '75 Cutlass - S/O unmarked (my old ride) '80 Dodge Diplomat - S/O marked (another old ride) '80 Dodge Diplomat - S/O detective (yet another old ride) '92 Caprice BP sedan (worse for wear) '08 Charger - Maricopa S/O '05 American LaFrance Fire Engine '11 Lonestar Fire Engine And, oh, yeah. There's another project I'm already 1/2 done with ... for the semi-tractor/trailer CBP ... but it would be a cross-over here, so I'll drop a pic or two later. It's a Pete 359 Conventional with Low Boy dropdeck trailer and a special load. Now, don't bother me, I've got to get to work! LOL.
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Now how cool is that. Danno you sure have some interesting projects to show us. Cant wait to see some progres of these cool builds that you guys have there
Danno Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Yikes! Did I really put that in writing? See ya ... gotta go get more glue!
Agent G Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 You are committed my brother. (or will be anyway ) Build on! G
Agent G Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Janne, here's some inspiration for your Caprice. This is a '93 that I drove when I first made sergeant. I put a modified Impala SS body,onto the interior/chassis from a Revell Fire Chief/Taxi. This was the first police car I ever had with power windows and GASP! carpet. I do not prefer die cast yet this was the only way to replicate another of my rides. G
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 They look great. I like how Caprice looks. I dont prefer either diecasts but sometimes its only game in town. It would be great if Revell or some other good model company could do full detail model of that kind Crown Vic. I like how they look... Thanks for sharing
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 There is many things to do before i can add decals on body, but here how it looks now. Roof is painted with Revell satin white and blue is Humbrol French blue like i said. Some sanding and clearing to go maybe later in this week
bandit1 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Sean: What should i call your build, so i may "sign you in" ? Call it The- IHC 8100 Pumper Truck (little muskingum fire dept.)
Nick Winter Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Little more done before my club meeting tommorow. Painted the antenna, temporarily attached the frame to finished body. I'll glue the antenna on before the meeting. the antenna's paint is wet in the picture. Nick
CorvairJim Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Janne - I have a kinda interesting model in the works that sort of fits, since the base vehicle for the actual vehicles that were produced in limited numbers started life as used Cadillac ambulances and hearses. A friend of mine once owned a camper based on a 1961 Caddy ambulance, and I'm partway through my own take on it, using the Jo-Han '66 Cadillac Ambulance kit as a base. If you tink it's close enough to your idea for this CBP, count me in. (I already have 4 CBP models inthe works, inc luding one for my own CBP: "The Cars of Rock 'n' Roll & Country Music". Why not think about joining in mine if you're interested and have the time??? )
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Sean: Thanks for information. Jim: Well isnt ambulances very close for rescue job? You re in, its nice to see some ambulances too
niteowl7710 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Engine is partially together and test fitting all of the various major parts together with the engine & tranny in the chassis...
Agent G Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Engine is partially together and test fitting all of the various major parts together with the engine & tranny in the chassis... James, I googled many references and found several different variations of the valve colors. Some showed black like yours some showed aluminum with the coil packs being black. Same with the intake manifold. I am thinking to use the engine cover so most of the mill won't be seen anyway. You thoughts? G
Danno Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 G, Your Caprice and CVPI are very nicely done! Good jobs.
Agent G Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Thank You Sir! That Caprice was my first ride as a district sergeant. That was a sweet, sweet car. I had a friend in fleet services who kept that car off the trade list for over a year so I could keep it. We actually hid the darn thing one weekend, so it wouldn't be noticed and turned in. On another note, I'm sitting here all buggered up having left the ER. Got plenty of time to build, so on with the show! Pics to follow, if I can find anything while on these good good meds........ G

Danno Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Whad'ya do to yerseff? Nothing real serious, I hope. 10-25. I just saw the other thread with the info. Take care!
niteowl7710 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I am thinking to use the engine cover so most of the mill won't be seen anyway. You thoughts? G I think it was really hot in North Carolina today. I think I'm going to have to get out of my second load tomorrow... Oh wait the engine cover...yeah I plan to use mine, so it will all be hidden. I think a lot of the coloring depends on the year of the car. Similar to the two tone (light gray/dark gray) interior in 2006/07 to the all dark gray interior since then...

I've never driven the PD version, sat in one and looked around though. I had an '07 as a rental but a never looked under the hood. I just drove an '11 last weekend as a rental. Didn't look under the hood this time either. G
Agent G Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Ok in between drug induced periods of sleep I accomplished quite a bit on the Impala's interior. I painted and assembled the radio, siren, and light switches as I remembered them from oh so long ago. These are resin copies of the parts in the old '70 Ford police interceptor kit. I detailed the steering column with gear shift and blinker lever. These will be silver with black knobs. I made the knobs from superglue and accelerator. The interior as painted years ago. G
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 Looking good guys. Chassis of my Caprice is almost finished. Little weeathering and rear shocks needed. Cheers...
highway Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Ok in between drug induced periods of sleep I accomplished quite a bit on the Impala's interior. I could use some of those periods of sleep, I haven't been able to sleep right since who knows when!!! By the way, looking nice so far. I love the look of that exhaust!! I never thought of painting one half new half used before!
