To all who have an interest: I am in the process of developing an original minifig torso for anyone's law enforcement officer. On paper, the original concept uses a 6-pointed star (for my Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane proposals), but I think any badge (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dat.models)
