miatamadman Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Full rebuilt and detailed Motormax 1/24th scale Crown Victoria. Paint is Tamiya Metalic Blue and the decals are from Code7/Accuscale. Interior is fully detailed, carpeted, additional deck lights added as well dual radar antennas. Wheels were moved inwards and detailed with simulated wheel weights, the front bumper sports a handmade wrap around pushbar and I added strobes to the rear view mirrors. Interior details also include seat upholstery decals that I made.
Harry P. Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Stupid question: what are all the antennas for?
miatamadman Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 Stupid question: what are all the antennas for? The roof antennas are for the Lojack unit which is a stolen vehicle recovery/tracking unit. Each coordinate, NE SE NW SW, has it's own antenna.
Harry P. Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 The roof antennas are for the Lojack unit which is a stolen vehicle recovery/tracking unit. Each coordinate, NE SE NW SW, has it's own antenna. Hmmmmm.... I would think they would have gone beyond the "four giant antennas" technology into a self-contained unit. But then again... what do I know?
Dr. Cranky Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Nice model. Harry, I've seen some police cars with even more antennae than those . . . soon when they switch to a robotic officer force the electronics will be on the officer, not the car! The cars will just be a holding cell on wheels picking up all the young folks who refuse to work in the only place hiring: McDonalds! (I know, I know, I'm losing my mind!)
Agent G Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Yet another beauty from the master of emergency! Harry when I retired, the darn car had a radio, siren/light control box, cell phone, lap top computer, rifle, and shotgun inside. This along with the radio on my belt, and personal cell phone literally gave me hundreds of methods to communicate. Trouble is you can only really talk to one person at a time.................... Other problem was an old wide body sergeant such as myself barely fit in the car. G
bsoder Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Since I've built a few cop cars myself I really enjoy seeing yours!!..since he asked the Ant.?? I guess Harry doesn't see a lotta cop cars upclose...this is a good thing ...nice build man
RodneyBad Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Very Sharp looking Cruiser.. I just thought all of the Antennas where for different Radios and the Computer I always thought Police cars looked cool. Especially when they're going the other direction Whoooo, Perty lights.. Great job..
scaleauto Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Very, very nice. I like your attention to detail.
