Last week I came across a website (although for the life of me I can't remember how I found it) and it was a guy who made a handful of custom police cruisers (1/43). All were agencies from TX, except he did produce a nice looking Alexandria, VA K-9 cruiser. Do any of the police car buffs out there know the site I'm talking about? I thought I bookmarked the link, but I obviously did not....

Any help would be appreciated!

I hope that this is it. Thanks. Take care, Scottie

You are THE MAN!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I googled the hell out of every combo of Alexandria, custom, 1/43 and couldn't find the site no matter how hard I looked.

That's exactly the site I was look for!

Alexandria PD (not K9) is also available in 1/24 at http://www.vadiecast.com/virginia.html. He has a lot of Virginia departments, along with many other states/cities.

Ray,

Thanks, I bought a couple (Alexandria in 1/43 and VA State in same scale) from him and sent him photos of a department he was looking for with the promise of a free car for the photos.

He never made good on the free car and the Alexandria and VA State 1/43 were sloppy. Crude light bars, poor paint jobs and illegible decals.....

Now granted this was about a couple of years ago, but he won't get my business again.

The best customs I've purchased have been from Carorama and Code3Customs. Well worth the $ and better than any car that comes off the production line. DEAD ON ACCURATE.

I just ordered from the site Scott posted. I'll post when I get the cars. They look real good though.

Thanks again,
John

John,

If you're interested in 1/43 scale VA cruisers, I have the Norfolk Police and Sheriff car that were done by Gearbox. Both are great looking models. if you're interested, email me at coachhrt@cox.net and let me know.
