Princess Green

This princess I got at Dollar Tree.

Figure is about 54mm, sort of.

One piece,painted, ready to go.

My plan is to use this figure as a Junkanoo float decoration.

Mr. Bond approves.
 

Police vs Robot

A peaceful American neighborhood becomes a battleground!

Several agencies arrive and deploy.

Local police, neighboring jurisdiction, and the sheriff respond to to the officer needs help call.

Ambulance is standing by.

Two SWAT team members advance, covered by two rifle armed police.

The police helicopter keeps the giant Robot under surveillance.

The Robot stands unmoved by the display.
 

Cadillac

1975 Cadillac Eldorado.

Great big car.

Cars this big are awesome, the ride is smooth.

This is a great model, look at the grill!

Very nice hub caps.

Nice paint job.

This car will look great in my Las Vegas.

Big roomy seats.

I got a few of these, and probably won't repaint them.
 

More Police Vehicles

This is another one of the police vehicles in the Matchbox set.

It is an off road armored truck.

It has two sleeping dogs in the bed.  So it could be used to look for lost children, campers, or escaped convicts.

The set also includes this big ambulance van.

Some major police departments have special medical vans that are called out when SWAT goes to a call.  They are staffed by doctors rather than paramedics.  They are a mobile emergency room and can perform surgery at the point of injury.

These vehicles are quite large and would work well for that kind of ambulance, or for mass casualty events.

Police set by Matchbox.  Get three or four of these and you have a whole police department!
 

Police Cars

Matchbox 2016 Ford Interceptor.

Matchbox County Police.  In the USA each state is divided into counties that have their own elected officials, which include an elected Sheriff, and his deputies, they are police and also run a county jail.

The county jail accepts prisoners from any police agency in the county that makes an arrest, many small towns don't have a jail or don't keep prisoners for more than a few days or even a few hours.

But some counties also have police, separate from the Sheriff's office.  They usually have a specific police function, such as patrol county property like parks and county buildings.

Matchbox has made this same vehicle in generic police markings.  Most police agencies in the US mark their vehicles with the word POLICE in large letters and the name of the city or other agency they represent.

Here the the two vehicles together.

I will probably not change these markings but I may add to them to indicate a specific agency name, maybe on the back.

Same markings by Matchbox but on two different vehicle types.

I like that consistancy.
 

Police Chopper

Matchbox has been making a number of police related sets in the last couple years.

I am doing two sets of  police, one for the East Coast, USA and the other for the West Coast.

My plan is to use HO 1/87 scale vehicles for up to about 1998 and 1/64th scale vehicles for 2008 and more recently. 

This set comes with this generic helicopter.  I don't recognize it as being a specific helicopter, but I am no expert in small helicopters.

I am considering painting over the windows and calling it a drone.

But maybe not.

This will likely be part of my East Coast police.

Mostly based on New York Police Department as agencies in the vicinity.

Not a bad looking model.

I probably won't change it much, unless I add a spotlight or other sensors.

Here with a 1/72nd scale police officer from Dark Alliance.
 

American House

A typical American home.

I added some trees.

And a front walkway.

A street.

 

And a new car.

This rather typical American home can be used all over the country and for at least a hundred years.

Just change the car to a horse and buggy, and make it a cobblestone road and it's 1924.
