This has taken so unbelievably long. I think I should have been able to do everything so much more quickly, but I've done some parts of it over 5 times or so. Anyway, someday it will hopefully get done. I'm posting a picture now just to feel like I've accomplished something, at least.
This was a bargain. I picked it up at the Mount Prospect city police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect police car. They were practically giving 'em away...
This may turn out to be the coolest of my collection of movie/TV cars. I'm awaiting a bricklink order with a few additional parts and have lots of things I still have to do, but the outside is larger finished. Building my White van gave me some confidence that I would be able to pull off the car's dirty appearance, and I'm reasonably happy with progress so far. I intend to add the massive PA system to the roof, but that depends on whether I can make it look good. Lego makes cone elements with a 4x4 base, which is too small, and 8x8, which is too large.
Since early this year I have been building models for a Cold War collaboration at BrickFair Virginia, which will take place in late July/ early August. I've mainly focussed on missile systems. This is likely the final model I'll be building for this project. It's a Soviet-built 4K51 "Rubezh" coastal defence system that served with the East-German Navy from the late seventies until German reunification. This is a mobile system (on a MAZ-543 chassis) that can launch two SSC-3 Styx anti-ship missiles, using a mast-mounted radar on the vehicle to find the targets.
Much of the vehicle is done, including the radar mast. What is left is completing the containers on the back that house the missiles and the mechanism for elevating and rotating them.
