I'm curious though, why doesn't his vest say 警察

Because then numpties like me would not know what that meant.

From the pictures I've seen, it's not there, just a white POLICE label on the back and yellow unit numbers on the helmet although Paul's answer did make me chuckle  lol

Also, there's no way I'm even going to attempt painting that on a 28mm figure. When I do the normal police (koban) I might see about getting some relevant decals done  :)

cheers

Will you be able to model and feature the Destructoid "Pink Armadillo" in its/her various forms? (Android Kikaider circa '73)

The original clip with sound has a wonderful maniacal laugh through most of it

Thanks chaps  :)

Got three more undercoated and will do them before next week  :)

Nice lenses and freehand mate.

I am rather chuffed myself as the free hand was done first time without any patching or covering of mistakes  :)

cheers

Looks like an oil rig  :D

Cracking ideas though. Reminds me of the new version of Total Recall  8)

This continues to develop beautifully. Having recently got home from Tokyo, the buildings look absolutely spot on.

Any idea on an 'on sale' date on the acrylic buildings yet? I'm itching to get back to my own project, but if these are going on sale, I'll put down the foamcore and back away slowly ;)
