                        Where to get police lightbars?
                        Posted by knight667 on Wednesday, August 4, 2004 4:57 PM
                        Does anyone know of any place to get police lightbars? I'm trying to build up a Oregon State Police 1994 Chevrolet Camaro, but I'm finding it difficult to find the lights. Any help is most appreciated!

                        I have heard of people useing the transparent colored plastic silverware before. For the lights you can use some little plastic jewel type things available at a craft store.

                        Hey talking about scratchbuliding , I've used those somewhat semi-transparent colored toothbrushes (remove the bristles). for lights and not just on police cars, i've made lights for planes, boats,trucks, etc.. the brushes can be cut up to suit what size one needs ,
