Agent G Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Here are the glamor shots. I used some Tamiya "Clear Smoke" to add depth to the grill lights and the spot light. They were cast as one piece in a mold I made from some old Yodel parts. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 NIce job G, I like the use of the Impala wheel covers and the Caprice steering wheel The radio and mike look good too, what kit did they come from?, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 The radio and siren box were cast in resin. I made a master from the parts in the 71 Ford kit. The mike is scratched from sprue. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Good looking build! Did you have trouble putting the mirrors together on this? I could never get the mirrors to glue together and stay on the vans i built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Mike I haven't tried the mirrors as yet due to those very issues. I'm thinking dechrome everything, assemble, then paint using foil for the mirror surface. The work vans didn't have chrome mirrors as I recall.
