You can remove the head & carefully polish the beard stubble off of the face. DO NOT get the polish on the Klicky's eyes or mouth!

i working on that later. just bought a 4260 car and try to customize it to a uk police car. i had an intressting talk with a police men the other day and he explained very nicely what helm each offcier wears. i didnt know that woman ONLY wear bowler hats and the large hat (from malone) is only when they walking in town etc. they wearing a normal police hat when they driving.. checkers are for normal police officers and when they progress they get colors like blue etc. it was a very intressting fact to know! now i need to get my hand on more police vests and bowler hats :) but i will post updates as soon i do progress.. i like the feedback what iam getting and i think that helps to get better. iam quite new in customizing.. never had really time for that :lol

nice customs mike,

as an ex British copper, i love your customs, especially the car with the battenburg markings. Most British constables carry virtually the same equipment on their duty belt, regardless of which force they work for.  When i worked in Glasgow, i carried Hiatts speedcuffs, PR24 sidearm baton, CS spray, mini maglite and had a belt hoop for a 3 cell maglite, which i usually kept in the panda car(patrol car). Some forces use the ASP collapsible baton instead of the PR24.

 :-[ Sorry got carried away thinking about the old days. Anyway keep up the good work and i look forward to seeing more.

the white car is not a custom. its an original replica. as soon my stickers arrive i will have about 2-3 customs cars. i converted the 4260 in a police car. i swapped out the heck and front ( they blue) with the ones from the ambulance 4223 (white) and got the printing off nicely. just waiting for the checkers and in 2 weeks when iam in germany i have access to my new label machine and i can do the police stickers. i hope it will look great and i will show them ofcourse

the first link was ok.. yes they have coats with one line of buttons.. but to be honest its difficult to find in a playmo figure as when i remember correct only the northern soldiers have 1 or 2 designs of that..

How about:

As it is, your custom just looks like someone wearing a policeman's helmet, maybe a  Victorian toff who's pinched one for a lark on a Saturday night.

Post by: bonniebeth on July 01, 2011, 18:40:22
Oh, awesome! So you were able to feel them! The stone age woman would be the one with a baby in it. :P Or do you mean you weren't permitted to feel them?
Title: Re: start of a police figure series
Post by: mike1003 on July 01, 2011, 19:00:17
no, i was but its not that easy.. only could feel that uncle same because the hat was easy and the other one through the bag shape.. but i looked for the stoneage woman.. kinda difficult..
