Durangokid Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Not really much of a model as it comes as a plain white diecast. I been wanting to build this particular car for awhile now but the decals are really difficult to find. I painted the black parts along with the light bar as it comes in plain, clear plastic. I wish someone made this in regular styrene since the diecast cars aren't very good. This is what our cars looked like before we went to the SUV interceptor. I spent over 20 years with the LVMPD before I was injured by a carjacking suspect which ended my career. I haven't been gone long and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss it. It's an awesome department to work for and there is never a dull moment. I'm sure they saved a lot of lives on the night of Oct 1st. This one's for them... Here is the original Thanks for looking...

Martinnfb Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Cool CrownVic. Brian. Needs some weathering, brake dust, sanded tires, bullet holes etc. Just kidding, who makes the decals? Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durangokid Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks Martin! Your right, it would need a lot of weathering to look like the real thing... Including a few dents here and there! haha Oh, the decals are from Bill Bozo but I don't think he make them anymore. They are really hard to find plus the PD copyrighted their stuff making it even more difficult to get anything related to the department.

jgrease Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Bryan - I know you didn't get to leave on your terms, but you did make it out. I've been retired since '07 from NYPD, and I've been building models ever since! Enjoy retirement - and good work on the car!

I wish I didn't so much, although I don't miss all the BS that goes with it nowadays. It was a much better job back in the day. I had some good friends at Metro that were former NYPD cops. I visited NY with one of them and had a great time. I remember going to a cop bar somewhere in the city and everyone was great. All the guys treated me like I was one of them. We don't really have "cop" bars in Vegas so it was a treat. Thanks for leaving a message... Bryan jgrease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrease Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Bryan, I miss working with good people, but then I remember why I chose to retire. I had a great time but I don't think I could work patrol these days in this environment. There were definitely neighborhood "cop bars" in some places. My last command we tended to just drink on the street behind the precinct - LOL. Still, make the most of your time now! John Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holzemjo Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Isn't drinking on the street illegal in NYC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
