I just thought I would pop a couple of my police dioramas on here. I have built quite a few over the years. These were built in the early 80’s.

The first one is a police garage. The California Highway Patrol has just received their first pursuit traffic cruiser. The title is, “What if Chips had a Lamborghini Countach”?

I actually went to a Chips station in San Diego to photograph some reference for this. The idea for the Ford being covered with newspaper in order to repaint the recently repaired rear fenders was a result of the visit.Looking at agentg’s police vehicles, I thought I would pop mine on here. I have built quite a few over the years. This one was built in the early 80’s. Click on photos to enlarge.

All the figures are the 1/25th Verlinden, some modified and posed to fit the look! I really can’t remember where all the accessories came from, but the Lamborghini was Fujimi and the Taurus was AMT.

Here is a shot of the interior and engine after detailing and painting. Click on photos to enlarge.

The Honda 750 motorcycle was an ancient kit that I bought off somebody, don’t remember the brand, but it was hell to build and make to look like something.

This one is a traffic stop. This time the citizen has a Ferrari. The State patrol has a Camaro pursuit car. The scale is 1/16th. It was photographed on the parking lot of VLS when it was in O’Fallon, Missouri in 1991. I called it “Gas Pedal Stuck”. I only worked in uniform for a very short time in my police career. The majority as a detective. But this was the most common excuse I remember getting.

As this is a large scale, I took two 120mm figures of a Marine D.I. from Verlinden. Converted one to a state trooper, I sculpted a new hat, police equipment, gun, etc. Then the other one I converted into a “Cool Dude”. If you look at the break in the trousers of both figures at the shoes, you can see they began as the same. Click on photos to enlarge.

The stop sign and street signs are from scratch. If agentg is looking, notice the name of the street. Gravois is a main drag in St. Louis city. Click on photos to enlarge.

Just thought I would show a couple of my car dios.
