Playing with decals...

[Terry Jessee]

(and diecast).

These are all what police car modelers call "blanks"--painted but undecorated. That way you can add your own markings. So I had some fun.

The black and white Ford Explorer actually comes with a white rooftop, too, so I had to mask that and repaint it black. There are some other small modifications to get the look.

The black Montana Highway Patrol Taurus has a lot of little changes. I lowered it, did some detail work on the interior, and modified the spotlight (removed the passenger side). The light bar came from spares. The "lenses" in the light bar are a pattern I found and reduced, then printed on paper. Then I used clear acrylic as adhesive to apply the lense pattern to the inside of the light bar plastic. Decals are from Rhonda Keraly at Police Decals and Deals.

The Fords still need antennae.

The Ram pickup is just decals and a light bar. Rhonda Keraly decals again, and the light bar is from spares, too.

Like the extra detailing you have done on these die cast.

Those came out really nice.

I love it. I've been wanting to do a MHP Charger or Explorer. Their Lewistown office is right above my MVD office so I stare at them parked there everyday lol.

These look great! I've been looking for one of the MotorMax Explorers and Walmart happened to have one the other day. Now I need to do something like this.

Nice job Terry, The die cast blanks are great canvases for police/fire vehicles. I used the Motormax Raptor and Crown Vic for border patrol units. The Revell snap Raptor was another Border Patrol. I've got a lot of Bill Bozo government license plate if you want some, PM me. Glad they up dated the Explorer.

Motormax does a 2015 all-black Explorer. They've also done all-black Chargers. The black Taurus is pretty rare, so you'd wind up doing some re-painting. Rhonda Keraly has the decals for all of them at Police Decals & Deals on eBay.
