The Story

Lt. Det. Troy drives into the dark recesses of an alley that is lit up by flashing blue and red lights from other Police vehicles.  He gets out of his Dodge Charger Detectives car and walks over to the tape line and Officer Treagan lifts the tape to allow the Lieutenant onto the scene.  The Coroner had arrived and was in the process of conducting his preliminary inspection of the corpse who turned out to be Lucas Virden, the man that they were seeking.  Their murder suspect had turned into a murder victim.  Lt. Det. Troy tell Det. Darvell to contact the Organized Crime Bureau to inform them of Virden's demise.

The Build 

I polished the Charger body and I burnt through some spots and decided to give the entire body another two coats of paint.  Now for some detailing and assembly!

The Story

     McNally had gotten the ‘Cuda running again and he spent a considerable amount of time during the afternoon trying to fine tune the engine by ear as best as he can.  He parks the car in the garage and locks the garage doors.  In the house, he starts his dinner by placing a TV dinner in the microwave and heating it.  After he eats, he sits down in his easy chair and watches TV with a cold beer in his hand.  While he is watching TV, the doorbell rings and he gets up to answer it. 

 A large, well-dressed man is standing in the doorway.  

“Can I help you,” asks the Boston PI.  

     The man says, “I’m Damian Rockler.  Mr. Cannon would like a word with you.”

“Sure,” replies the Boston PI.

     McNally walks out of the house and off the porch to a white Mercedes-Benz S-Class Limo parked at the curb.  Mr. Rockler opens the door and McNally gets into the car.  Inside the car is Alexander Cannon reading the Wall St. Journal and smoking a cigar.  

     He puts the paper down and says, “McNally, Mr. Virden is no longer working for me.  Mr. Rockler is my new assistant to call if you ever need anything from me.”

“Ok, Mr. Cannon.  Thank you for the update.” 

“Good night McNally.”

“Good night sir.”

     McNally gets out of the Limo and Mr. Rockler gets into the car and the Limo drives away down the street.

The Build

The body and the chassis are now one.  I have been adding emergency lights to the grille and on the rear package shelf behind the rear headrests.

The Story

     Adam arrives home 20 minutes after leaving the crime scene and parks his car, back end in first, in the driveway.  He walks into the house and he is greeted by his wife Natalie with a kiss and a hug.  She pulls out a wrapped plate of food from the fridge, left over from dinner and places it in the microwave oven to heat up.  His son, Thomas, is getting ready for bed and Adam says good night to him.

      Adam goes back downstairs to the kitchen and sits down at the table to eat and he is joined by Natalie and they talk about their respective days.  His at Homicide and hers at the flower shop and at home.  After eating dinner, he cleans up the kitchen and takes out the trash.  He looks over the mail for bills and other correspondence and places them on his desk and he tosses the rest.  He walks around the house making sure that the windows and doors are shut and locked and the lights have been turned off.  He heads upstairs to bed where Natalie is reading a book and he then gets into his pajamas and crawls into bed.

      Tomorrow is another day. 

McNally Boston, PI will return… 

The Build

I have finished my 2010 Dodge Charger R/T.  My goal was to build this as a car taken from Patrol and given to the Detectives.  It has mis-matched paint, mis-aligned body parts, a 2-way radio, a computer and dual trunk mounted antennas.  The body hasn't been polished after the final coat of paint.

Funny, I was just wondering about your build yesterday.  Turned out great - sure looks the part.  Then again, I'm a big Charger fan :)

 

Thanks,

John

Another great build Mr. Mike-added detail of computer, lights & non-new finish make it look the part of a 'hand me down'-well done!

Thank you, John and Bob!  A big Charger fan, John?!!!  Yeah!

I kept looking at this model and wondering what I may have forgotten.  I forgot to weather the chassis and I am no expert at that.  The chassis was drybrushed with Tamiya XF-10 Flat Brown and the exhaust system was drybrushed with Tamiya X-23 Clear Blue and X-26 Clear Orange.
