Tim, I need those klickys over here! And wonderful guns? Are we allowed to say that here? I can tell that you really put some time into them as I once tried to make some myself. Obviously I never posted pictures, so let me tell you how they turned out... I also like the stickers, very clever. I know what you mean about making the car look older.  :yup:

Anyways, it appears they're well prepared for the worst. Will we ever get to see them in action?

Hello Everyone,

Thank you very much for the kind replies. I have finally got round to posting a thread showing how to make the gun. This can be found in the Advanced Customizing Techniques forum or by following this link:

 http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=3534.msg42093#msg42093.

There has been a small update concerning the safe stowage of equipment. Seeing as this car is not required to carry passengers some small changes have been made to the rear compartment to allow the 'heavy' items to be secured safely. These would normally go in the boot (trunk) but the main gun safe is built into this instead.
As a bonus I have included a picture showing armed officers from Firearms Unit AR24 practicing takedown techniques on an 'armed' suspect and a picture showing two plain clothes officers from SO24, the Special Operations branch of AR24.

Tim  :wave:

Hello Andy and Gepetto,

Thank you very much for the kind reply. The wrist watches are from lots of different sets and have come from random assortments of Playmobil I have found over the years. I think most of them are divers watches. I thought they would add a different dimension to the equipment carried by these particular klickies.

The Playmobil Police Car doesn't look much like North American Police Cars, which are usually Ford Crown Victorias. I've love to see a playmobil police car specifically outfitted for high speed pursuits which Bumper guards etc. I've seen people put clickies in 1:24 Scale vehicles but the diecast metal really doesn't have the same feel as plastic. I love how you outfitted the car here though! Don't ARVs usually have stenciling on the window as well to ID them as Armed Members?
