New Law Enforcement Decal Company |
|
New Municipal and Police Decal Sheets for Cars and Trucks |
|
There's
a new Sheriff in town with decals, and that name is GovCars.us.
They
started on eBay, but now have a new online store, with
their full line up.
While
most of the products are geared towards die cast, including
1:24 examples, that won't stop modelers from using them
on all sorts of projects. Even a 1:18 scale decal can
be used on a 1:25 scale heavy truck or trailer, so there
are a lot of possibilities for builders.
Special
thanks to Adam over at MTM
for the heads up on this new company.

Hollywood Jim's Steampunk 1949 Mercury Model Car Creation |

Few
have mastered the incredible work or scratch building
on a model kit like Hollywood Jim. His models tell a story,
taking your eyes on a candy trip that will have you staring
at every nook and cranny for hours.
His
latest adventure build, a Steampunk 1949 AMT Mercury,
tells a masterful aged story all by itself.
Every
detail has been massaged and tailored to create a model
that defies anything you might have seen before. It's
one of a kind, like all his builds.
You've
seen his Tiki Bus,
his 1948 Surf Woody,
his Big
Timber, and now we present:
The
1949 Steampunk Mercury
