I like this one perhaps better than the Boss' car. This one looks like it could be a real set. I'm not entirely convinced by the roof over the driver but otherwise the construction of the wagon is very nice and the added touch of the gun rack is (...)

Another Rum Runners vehicle. The Police Paddywagon: (2 URLs) Brickshelf Gallery> Rounding up the criminal element is a full-time job for the Law, and they need a strong vehicle for prisoner transport. As always, comments appreciated. -Elroy (17 years ago, 5-Jun-07, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town, FTX) !

(...) Thanks for the comments. The minifigs are probably the most fun to build. I keep imagining how they'd all interact with each other. Giving each MOC a set of characters also helps bring more life to the build. -Elroy (17 years ago, 29-May-07, to lugnet.adventurers, FTX)

I then started poking around the 'net for inspiration, and came across the black and green Bentley. I stuck (...) (17 years ago, 29-May-07, to lugnet.adventurers, FTX)

Hi Elroy, actually I don't have anything with cars (well, I am a girl), but this one is great! What I like especially with this car is with all its goodlooking it's still playable. Minfigs can sit in it. Very well done! Regards, Barbara (17 years ago, 27-May-07, to lugnet.adventurers, FTX)
