mobricki Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Okay so let me start by giving credit for the inspiration and the backstory on this model. Original design credit goes to bricklink user Ruben Ras http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=RubenRas&itemID=21538689 Here is his original model. Here is my first version of his model. The base still kept the same design and their was just a lot of different cosmetic differences. Now on version 2 I changed out the whole base and got rid of all the jumper plates used on the original model because it made it very unstable plus it didn't allow for my use of the wheel guards.I also added a new rear windshield on this model that allowed for a smoother look on the back of the car.It can also hold the new series 9 police minifig sitting up straight with his hat on. I would like to thank RubenRas for the inspiration but as you can see it developed into a very different model. Here is the new police force checking out their new squad car. I hope you liked the model and I will try to do an LDD version sometime in the future and post the file up here. Quote

The police minfig is one of my favorite CMFs. I was happy when I saw how many I got. My next car model will probably be a way to use my plumber fig which I also think is a great CMF. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 It turned out to be a very nice police cruiser. I really like the design of the light bar and the mods you made to the original car Quote
Artifex Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Very nice car you got there! Perfect for the new police officers! Quote
Phoxtane Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Around here, the police department is making the switch from the older Crown Victoria cruiser to the Dodge Charger. Looking at the taillights I'm guessing this one is based off the Charger? Quote
Luke Styer Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 That's a great looking police car, and with some minor decorative changes would make a nice looking civilian car. Quote
MrDarthLord Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I guess we have the same minifig taste ! That's a great job. Do you plan to add so extra vehicules to you new police force, or will you use the regular ones ? Quote

Do you plan to add so extra vehicules to you new police force, or will you use the regular ones ? I'll be making a copy of this car and then make an SUV version for the k-9 unit. The SUV will probably be based on the black horse trailer vehicle. I love the new police minifigs. I hate the swat ones but the S9 CMF is perfect. Next step I need to make a modular police station.

Androo Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I've got three of the policemen from series nine now, I do like them which is more than I can say for the three Jeckyl and Hyde figures I've also got. Quote
