I know. I've found clear bars that I'm going to get. But I can't get them right now because A) I haven't even gotten the kit yet, and B) I need to put more money on my debit card. I basically have the build planned out in my head right now.

In progress:

CAD:

1/35 SINCGARS ICOM/ASIP; 1/35 Flat screen TVs; 1/35 tactical light that I shall reveal later Devil

Models:

1/35 DML M4A1 DV; AFV Club M18 Hellcat; DML StuG IV; DML Armored Jeep w/ .50 cal; Panda Cougar 4x4 MRAP; Academy M3A1 Stuart; 1/700 Midship Models USS Miami; 1/700 Skywave Rudderow Destroyer Escort

Mikey: FYI - the kit lightbar may be pre-colored, if so, don't worry - the pre-coloring can be removed by soaking in 90% denatured alcohol overnight.

I bought a Lindberg Ford Crown Vic. I had to buy it on Ebay because it was basically all I could afford with some left over on my WalMart debit card. Bought it for $5.00 plus $5.00 shipping. Now I have to get a new lighting bar, new decals, and some interior stuffs. First the kit has to arrive...

Incredibly, the kit should arrive around April 12-13... as it turns out, I'm going to be getting quite a few deliveries on those dates: a knife I ordered will arrive around then and a holster that I might've ordered a second time might arrive then as well.

I'd be interested... First I have to buy a car... But I already have one picked out. I figured I'd like to do this because I do plan on becoming an officer with the NCPD, which I want to model the kit after. But none-the-less... I'd be interested...

Well, I don't have anything that fits the bill, but I do want to follow this. It's a very interesting idea!

Well, I got started on my 95 Chevy Blazer. It's a gift for a friend of mine who was a security chief for the large property developer, he was with the residential communities division. Here's a few pics.....
