28mm Police Decals?

[carlos marighela]

Excellent. I'll have some of those. Might I suggest if you do a foreign version you add 'Policia Militar', 'Policia Civil' and the BOPE emblem. http://www.lojadascanecas.com.br/imagens/loja/Bope.jpg

PMERJ shield emblems would be cool too.

Now all you need is a caveirão:

Might be a cool company B project. 

I might add I doubt I would be playing with these but they would make interesting display items and I'm looking at doing some conversions of exisiting figures as cops.

Nice idea.  I had the darndest time a few years ago trying to find some white Polizei decals for something I was working on.  For some reason, there were plenty of blue ones in the scale I required but nothing in white.  Weird.

Might I suggest, if space permits, you provide a few mirrored versions? Plenty of ECILOP and ECNALUBMA vehicles around here.  Don't know of an easy way to reverse the letter images, though.

Hmmm, something like this?  If I do a badge, I can have that printed on Gold metallic.  It's possible to do small ones for figures as well.

Brilliant!

EDIT: I'd advise against having different languages on the same paper. No way anyone will have use for both Polizei and Policia.

Joint Europol strikeforce? 

I concur - you'd probably only want to make vehicles for one language region (at a time).

Ooooo..... Warren Like!!!! 

[Dr. The Viking]

Could you be persuaded to give a notice whenever these are available somewhere?

I will hold off finished my APC until then...

Maybe if they are modelling a BOPE raid on Complexo do Alemão (the German complex), one of the most violent favelas in Rio.

Yes, an infinite amount of people will no doubt pick up on that subject.

Dunno, they spent months there pre the Pan Games, it was kinda Iraq like for a while. I was on a plane coming back from Curitiba and we got stuck on the tarmac waiting for it to subside as stray rounds were entering the flight path for commercial jets at Galeão. Sad to relate but Rio's police are probably the most experienced operators in MOUT anywhere in the world.

[Commander Vyper]

And this project continues to evolve...

Ok, here's what I have now:


The yellow colors would be printed in metallic gold.  And the first sheet has badges scaled for 28mm figures, etc.

I can imagine having another sheet that has markings for several international SWAT style forces.  The Brazilian BOPE being one of them...

Add a UK police set and you'll be laughing.

Goes without saying that the people who lose are the people that have to live alongside the traficantes. As it happens my wife's favourite aunt lives in Acari next to one of the comunidades featured in that film. I've stayed there with her. She's a retired dressmaker. It's really irritating when you hear these f*#kers say, 'oh I'm doing this for my family, I have no choice'. My brother in law who earns salario minimo and works like a dog in a laundry has  the same choices. Friends who lead honest lives in worse favelas than those, all have a choice and they've chosen not to be drug dealers. It makes me really angry these days.

For the record the state and municipal authorities in Rio have made major efforts over the past year, particularly in the comunidades in Zona Sul by installing police posts (UPPs) where previously there was no permanent police presence. It's having a good effect reducing crime levels and it's being rolled out across the city. I just wish they would do something like that in Salvador, where the crime rates have rocketed up. Even the dickhead mayor has been forced to admit it.

Sorry for the rant. The film crew for a recent doco were soliciting for free accomodation and contacts on another forum I post on, may even have been the same crowd.  Seems every half bright gringo director or photojournalsit wants to repeat the same half-baked, inch deep coverage cos Rio is getting the Olympics. Bizarrely enough  you also get all the adventure tourists, wanting to do favela tours in Rio, where they get jeeped in like in a safari park. Obscene.

It's okay to rant Carlos, sometimes it needs to be said aloud an in the public arena.

We can only pray it get better in time.

Cheers,

Helen

Definitely could use those decals - my deskjet doesnt let me do white text on clear, and I need Police and Polizei markings.

[Bugsda]

I'd be up for some of these, with French or German spelling. I fancy a Bourne Ultimatum type swat team.

[CompanyB]

Here's where we are at.  5 new sets for Police!
SWAT


Generic US Police


Generic German Police


The last two sets are in progress as will be Brazil and the UK.  Should have those up today sometime...

Especially the words "Police public call box".
