Well Gee !
It might be a diecast and all , but you did a nice job . Kudos to you . T.B.
Nice work, highly detailed.
gregbalehe irony is that when I lived in BG in the late '60s, it was mostly just a post office and a few half-completed subdivisions
Wow. It's hard to believe how much things have changed since the 60's. I don't think anything that close to downtown is as you describe anymore.
Suberbly dressed up!
Remember , common sense is not common.
Greg Excellent. Neat project. I'm especially impressed with your homemade decals. Elk Grove produces a conditioned response, driving to O'Hare. Odd thing is, Elk Grove itself is a neat little place once off the highway.

A lot of those little 'roadsign' burbs are nice places to visit. The irony is that when I lived in BG in the late '60s, it was mostly just a post office and a few half-completed subdivisions. Now it's a thriving and more-populous suburban community. But still nice.
Never much got into diecasts...they're a little 'clunky' for my tastes...but I happened to have an unused 'blank' Welly 2002 Crown Vic that I had acquired for a years-ago project (later completed in 'real' plastic), so I began casting about for markings. I eventually opted for a place I used to live: the village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, in Chicago's NW suburbs.
I took the diecast apart and did some minor interior painting to break up the monotone grey plastic look of everything, but I added no interior detail. The single-piece engine 'blob' had a few details picked out, and I added some 'data plate' decals for effect. The home-printed decals were made up in MS-Paint, based on internet photos.
It was a quick and not highly-detailed project...the decals are a little rough in spots, and I freely admit that some details may not match the vehicle year...but it made a nice little nostalgic show-piece for my back shelf.
Enjoy!
