MOC, Police Precinct

[jonwil]

Here are some pictures of my new Police Precinct.

It takes design cues (and parts) from the current police sets

It is planned that this will appear on the next club layout with a parking lot next to it for all the police vehicles to park on.

I have ideas to build a helicopter (based on the Bell Huey), a 4x4 for the crime lab, an unmarked car for the detectives, a dog squad van and one of these:

I like it. It took some time to design this for sure. Details are great!

It could be just me, but I would just suggest to make presentation of your MOC a little bit more appealing, for example, to post a few main pictures of Police Station, then the rest leave in links.

It would be more interesting for visitor.

Something like this

but then a bit further away, then it would give us a better overview of the total building.

But looking at the pictures it gives me a good impression

I like the way you have AFOL-ed the recent police station and added another wing to it.

That looks awesome, it reminds me of the police station set I had when I was a kid.
