This one goes back even before I started the Ford Model A. Although I didn't build it having a specific car in mind, I think it looks a little bit like a 50's Chevy. I don't like how the rooftop and the whole rear section turned out - the "lip" of the roof is way too exaggerated and the whole back feels a bit boring, but I really like the hood/fenders section and the tail lights.
I'm thinking of turning this into a more carefully thought pick-up truck and since this is the last of it as a police car, I thought it was worth a couple of shots.
Yes, the little curved slope in the roof front is actually dark bley, but since the part is already on its way in black, I don't consider this much of a cheat :)

A while back, Thorsten asked me if I could give him a hand with a 30's police car / ambulance, as part of his upcoming "Arkham Asylum" MOC, due sometime between the 3rd and 10th of October. As you can imagine, It's just a huge honor for me to be a part of it!
So I took this perfect opportunity to build something that has been on my mind for a long time, the 30's Ford Model A, in minifig scale - above, the sedan version. I've set my challenge to resolve some the particularities of the cars of that age, like those 3D angled sides, the variation of widths along the car's body and not to forget, that little windscreen "kepi"-like shield.

I'm pretty sure I would never thought of this scene if it wasn't for that awesome bi-color BA pistol, which I have just received a few days ago from my friend JF. Thanks dude, you couldn't fit it better! Speaking of "fits", while I'm sure there are some better "faces" out there for a Bruce Willis minifig, I chose this one, because you just can't beat that grin! So Willis! :)))
I was planning to let the wagon version "breathe" for a day or two, but what the heck. Since they're both part of the same... "theme", I guess they go together.

Stay tuned for Thorsten's "Arkham Asylum"!
