You can either buy some C3's for parts (damaged on ebay) or you'll have just as good a luck making them yourself with some Styrene rod and brass wire/rod!

Check with Code3Nagi p.4 of buy/sell, he sells all kinds of parts. His post is 1/64 scale parts for sale, so look for that and he just might have what your looking for or e-mail him. Hope that helps!  |

Thanks! I figured that they would be a hard to find item.

If it turns out that you can't find any and you're willing to take a stab at it, I can send you a "HOW TO" (make your own) that results in what I think are good replicas. See attached photo of a 1/64th scale LAPD car that I added spotlights to using a similar method.  Drop me an I.M. if you are interested. Mark

Here is a 1:64th scale car made into a Detroit Police Car (early graphics). This was primarily an experiment with the spotlights. I am not yet satisfied as I think they are still too large and I need more of a sharp bend in the control arms. Otherwise, it didn't turn out too bad.

How about posting a how to do spotlights for all of us?
I think it would be a great thing to do, and that is why we are all here to learn,admire and share our creations. Nice work on the police cars!

I have been dealing with "estate" issues since my mother passed recently (3 months ago but seems like yesterday). Things have ramped up a bit as of late, but I'm hopeful to have this tutorial put together by next week. When done, I will make a new topic and post it here in the tips section. Please bear with me... Thanks. |
