Paddy Wagon by Tim Nolan


I always wanted to build Tom Daniel's Paddy Wagon, but I was never much for gold chrome or the bland paint job on it.  The release of the anniversary issue kit with the figures was inspiration for me to build it, but with a Carl Casper twist to the paint! (I always liked the fade-job on Casper's Paddy Wagon). The kit is built basically stock, with exception to some beefed up rear slicks from MPC. It was base coated with white, then shot faded with House of Kolors Kandy Oriental Blue. The diamond tufted interior panels were base coated white then cleared with some Lapis Blue Pearl powder in the mix.  I made some black felt rugs for the back and the cab. The figures are cool, but the driver doesn't fit at all, and I had to grind half his butt off on my bench grinder!! LOL!
