Little something I have been working on. This is an unmarked Police car that has made a traffic stop. Enjoy and feed back is welcome!

The possibilities are endless with that one. Nice job.
Re: Name that Layout - nachoman - 02-28-2010
That's so cool! Can you make a cop car with one of those spotlights?

Funny you ask that.
I was going to make my marked Police car, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jhoh9hISmk have working spot lights but I could not find an LED small enough that would actually work like a spot light. It would be more like a flood light and just wouldnt give the correct look.

Nice work on adding even more realism, I still would love to see a How To thread on this

Lotsa construction workers sitting around. Must be a union job.
Re: Name that Layout - COMBAT - 03-06-2010
LOL....
The guy on the bucket is at lunch, hes even holding his lunch pale.
The crane guys are waiting for the hold up on the bridge... Turns out there is a design issue.
Re: Name that Layout - TrainNut - 03-06-2010
Wow, in that first picture, there has been some pretty recent seismic activity. Must be a fault line along there. Either that or the city is experimenting with some new kinda speed bumps and that cops there to call an ambulance if anybody takes that sucker at speed! Either way, I think you need some warning signs about some sort of a bump or speed bump ahead.
Further down, you've got a close up of some fencing. I can't decide if it's supposed to be that orange safety fencing or chain link... I'm leaning towards the safety fencing. Either way, it looks to be some pretty frail stuff. I tried to make some chain link for N scale out of window screen but decided it was just too huge. Was that fence made out of something you are experimenting with or a product made for HO scale?
Not to nitpick as I think it all looks great but a comment... as I've found with the road stripes, putting the double yellow down the middle was too difficult to keep the width and spacing consistent. Therefore, I only went with a single yellow. Just thinking but what if you rubber banded two paint pens together with some sort of a spacer between the butts to get the points to be closer together? Then you could draw both lines with two pens at one time.
Looks cool. I wish they had the same kind of construction accessories available in N scale.
