martinfan5 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Well here is my first diecast, I have always been a plastic model guy, but I wanted to have new current police vehicle , so I decided to give doing a die cast a try. This is going to be a AZ DPS , I just need to get some decals ordered. I will say what a pain it was to strip it, after soaking long enough in the purple bath, I was able to just peel the paint off. I used rustolem metal primer, then krylon white, then a gloss coat. On to the interior, I added a cage, radio, computer, radio mike and speaker, radar unit and gun, added lights to rear window and deck and a rear facing rardar gun. I also took the push bar that came with it off, and added one that I built, I think it looks a little better, plus the one that came with it was perfect for my Phoenix PD Tahoe ( the older style) .
Danno Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Nice start, Johnathan. Looking forward to seeing it dressed up with the AZ DPS markings!
Rick Schmidt Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Very nice. I just captured the unmarked black and white. Gotta figure out what I wanna do with it myself
