I have a switch mounted so you can turn off the lights and siren when you want. I added these pics to the skyline gallery also....What do you think Guys???? This one in BCs League yet?? If not my next creation will definately be. BC, You aught to feel privilaged to have such a following (including me).

If I were being chased by a Sky-cop, I'd do what any self respecting criminal would do... Jump into my drug-dealer private jet or yaht and get the hell off the road! :)




Excellent work, looks authentic. Put pics of the real thing up so people can compare(if they haven't followed the Skyline Gallery).

I think that cop car is cooler then something bc could do. Mainly cause themed cars or models look better from more planning and it's something you could relate to, like seeing a cop car everyday like moi.

Well thank you....Boost my ego a bit....Its not perfect but pretty good for only 2 days work. I see you are into warhammer. same here. D&D and everquest also are my hobbys. These darn XMODS are taking over my time though. LOL I now have a skyline with 2 extra bodies, The white supra with 2 extra bodies and now the rsx. I trashed the body so Im gonna do a custome body on it.

Same here. not many play here anyway. Painting and building diorama's is cool. Like I said though.....XMODS are the coolest for me right now. All the rest are in storage.

Martlet21 02-19-2004 05:59 PM

Hmm, make the light bar smaller and lower, and paint the red rims black or white. Then it would be awesome. Right now it's just cool.

shadowblade 02-19-2004 06:04 PM

Well, let me know where to get the right scale working light bar and i will do that. LOL I had to make this one smaller as it is. It was 2 1/2 inches longer and 1 1/2 inches taller when I started. I cant make it smaller than that because of the screws holding it on and the lights inside. It is a functioning light bar. with a siren.
:D


By the way, I do like the idea of the black rims...I didnt think of that. Thanks.

SuPrBuGmAn 02-19-2004 06:53 PM

Most of the police cruisers around here run black rims, I think it'd be fitting :)

ppcheee 02-20-2004 04:25 AM

definetly the red rims

darkjester 02-20-2004 09:03 AM

good job on that. i cant believe you did this before me. I had this same idea but it prolly wouldnt have came out as good :/

You do know, 2f2f shows that if you're on a yacht, it could go full speed off a ramp onto the boat, loser... :P

shadowblade 02-21-2004 08:55 PM

Actually that wasnt the skyline that made that jump. I just put in the dvd and it was the blue camaro muscle car doing 120 mph off the end of a pier or bridge. I bet the skyline could catch a jet trying to take off or make that jump to a boat though. LOL That would be cool to see.

itsme 02-21-2004 09:31 PM

I know it wasn't a skyline, it was a yenko. But yeah, skyline is faster, so it'd soar over and fail the jump...haahhaha, stupid ricers.

10_second_supra 02-21-2004 09:39 PM

nice whered you get the light bar from

shadowblade 02-21-2004 09:48 PM

yep. LOL

I went to target and bought one of those cars that have the buttons on the side to make them light up and they have sound, i just took all the electronics out and the light bar off. I rewired the electronics and the speaker, installed it into the body. The lightbar was like 2 inches to wide and over an inch too tal. I got out the dremmel and cut out the middle section. glued it back togather. Then I dremeled off 3/4 of an inch off the mounting peice. glued it back on and drilled holes in the roof for the lights to go thru and the mounting screws. It turned out good I think.

madpilot1 02-22-2004 10:04 PM

hey, you know i like the cop car, but the supra is all that!! haha lol

When I get my Skyline Cop Cars front drive train fixed, its on..............LOL No where to hide!!
I just figured out what is wrong with it. The whole right front axle housing is cracked. Thats why it spins free and is binding it up. Im gonna put the AWD into my supra now. Bummer. That means my skyline is gonna be a RWD car again. Oh well.

I hate that movie :P

madpilot1 02-23-2004 02:10 PM

bummer. you could switch out the front mounting plate if u really want to drive the skyline. mines acting up too, no matter what i do it pulls to the right....??? no clue. anyways i just woke up so ill be heading down there soon.

SuPrBuGmAn 02-23-2004 02:51 PM

Madpilot - have you tried re-aligning the servo horn? Its a pretty good fix for cars that are turning more extreme than the trim buttons can correct.

madpilot1 02-23-2004 09:25 PM

yea ill give that a try. i had it all apart earlier cleaning it cause it wouldnt turn at all to the left. wish i had known to realign it then. lol now i gotta disassemble it again....oh well. thanks for the tip

shadowblade 02-24-2004 12:32 PM

Well, I used a black sharpie black marker on my cop car rims. They do look sweet now that they are black. I need to finish the detail painting on the bodie. On another note.....I ran it for the first time last night......LOL I broke off the push bar ends when I hit a wall. Now it looks more reralistic. It just has the center push peice. hehehe.

madpilot1 02-24-2004 09:49 PM

hey! i remember that! lol i spent most of my day driving my car. it is so filthy now. haha but it was fun. that car looks really beat up now. i lowered that silver fin a bit and im in the process of painting new rims, but im not sure if i like them. theyre red and silver. i might swing by tomorrow, i have the day off, not sure if im gonna make it down that way yet. anywho tty later

oh yea and it says my administrator disabled pm? any clue?

shadowblade 02-25-2004 12:03 PM

yeah....ill tell you about it when we talk.

madpilot1 03-02-2004 05:10 AM

heard u threw out your back. bummer, get better man. u know that lead foot in a skyline might do that to u. lol well i decided to repaint the skyline. its black pearl metallic and im gonna do the windows candy apple red transparent to simulate red tint. should look good when its done. anyways talk to u later

darkjester 05-03-2004 01:39 PM

this is just my opinion but i think it would look better if you bent the front bar bumper to match the shape of the skyline. If u see most of the cop cars today the bars align with the front
but all in all great job

shadowblade 05-03-2004 02:46 PM

Yeah....the front brush gaurd sides broke and flew off as soon as they hit a wall. the center part is solid as a rock and saves on a head on, so ill keep it on there. no need to modify it now, LOL. My wife is getting into the XMODS now and she is making a Fire Cheifs car now. Its pretty cool. We are going to build a 12x22 concrete slab in the back yard for a race track. Probably Montana's first permanent XMods racetrack. HEHEHE

jdizzy204 05-06-2004 02:56 PM

that looks pretty trill.:D

darkjester 05-10-2004 12:46 PM

ooh that tracks probably gonna turn out good, good luck with that. And i like how alot of people are making theme cars, like police, and fire cars. Kinda reminds me of american chopper on the discovery channel :)
