1/87 Metropolitan Toronto Police 1957 Chevy

Post by Rivet Counter » Mon Dec 06, 2021 2:18 am

Recently did this one from a Busch model I saw at the train shop. Printed the decals myself and painted with Tamiya spray lacquer. I had to sand off the old trim and design/print the new chrome strips on the sides. The steering wheel I did with a molotow pen and it turned out great only to go PING off the tweezers never to be seen again :x Interior I blasted with krylon matte black because I was too lazy to bust out the airbrush
I put the clear down too thick and caused a run on the passenger side so I had to touch up the chrome strip with a molotow pen. Overall it turned out ok but not something I'd want to keep in my collection. I've hidden it in the Little Toronto Destination within Little Canada

That came out really nice. Is it for a train layout?

Thanks! Its currently residing within Little Canada, an animated miniature world tourist attraction where I work. I might do some more, one for my collection and I'm thinking of hiding one in the trunk of a bigger model.

That is great. I like reading of the trials and tribulations of making the model. And then get to the final picture and can't find a fault. Very nice work.

I never knew about Little Canada. Definitely a stop I will make my next time north of the border.
