Ok, been along time I know (was busy with work and such) Latest improovements are vast, I have greatly improoved the Volga M21 and M24 and have since uploaded to NFS Police HQ the M24 Soviet Militia (other improoved versions of other police variants will follow soon), Have got a ColdWar era Lada Niva (turns out the one that has the tall taillights is NOT the one for that period but a more modern 1990's + version, Pity, I thought the one Givix (aka DJ Fuck) made was suitable for my mod but it shall now be reserved for future projects.


This is the style needed for the ColdWar mod:




Simular but you can see the first type used Lada 2106 type taillights vs the kind saw on later models. Thus after looking I found one for GTA Sanandreas made by Diman58rus and converted it over to NFS HighStakes and utilizing :OL effects learned from Lou and Nils.

The first police one is done now and has been posted at NFS Police HQ.:




Frank (or others) feel free to rework these as you see fit  .

The Volga M21 (yet to be posted) It too features the great :OL effects I learned from Lou and Nils. I'd hoped to have the civillian one in nice 2 tones like saw here:

But Lou says that is possible but difficult to do. So for now I settled on solid only colors, I'll make some civillian plates for it soon.








Also I left the fender chrome text ВОЛГА on the sides as with VEG Patch this is no longer a poly issue.

Of other intresting note is recent info found, Soviet Militia GAI (highway patrol) and PMG (the standard police patrols) units using 1987 Ford LTD thanks to a deal cut by Gorby. They was eqquiped with Blue/Yellow AeroDynic (simular to French pattern lights) for the PMG and  Red/Blue Whelen 8000 strobe bar for the GAI units. They were donated from New York and Mass. so hence the blue/yellow AeroDynics on some .

A PMG unit yet to be marked.:

GAI units.:

And here's how they look once marked.:



For PMG units they would have just had a blue stripe like older GAI units such as this and may have had added ПМГ on the back doors or not..Most didn't.

a lot of unpublished goodies here...

It's hard to answer. I loved the GT40 and P4 🐴in the Ford vs Ferrari movie. It's that I've learnt about the existence of most of those cars from your models)

noise -> yes, it's not far off a magic carpet

Cooya! -> believe the Spanish manufacturer Auto-Pilen also produced the Adam Probe16 in 1:43 scale. What's more, they have also produced many of my designs in this scale: the Ferrari 512S Berlinetta Speciale, Modulo and 250P5, Mangusta, Monteverdi Hai, GT40, Bertone Stratos Zero, Ghibli ... and with plenty of opening parts.

I have never heard of a Marcos Mantis. My knowledge of historical cars is expanding with every new unique/concept car you build. Beautiful job on the Ferrari btw

I'm asking myself which of your models is the bestest... Still can't really answer, they are all great and have that special style. Maybe this Ferrari is the toppest one, but I also ❤️ the GT40👍🔥And the Plymouth GTX you made with the X-files guys😊👍

Yes... It is THAT low! It seems like the Adams Brothers liked there cars to be uncomfortable as hell... If you look at all the Marcos cars and the Adams Probe 16. I think only the Ferrari Modulo can beat that. I love this car since the day I learned that my little orange toy car from Corgi Junior was not a fantasy mockup but is indead a real model.
...And I love the story that it could not finish it's only race entry at Spa-Francorchamps 1968 as it rained as hell and the sills around the canopy where not waterproof AT ALL... so the car filled up with water until it got undrivable and the alternator died from all the water. End Of it's racing story

92 cm (36 inches) is that the height of the car? Than it's lower than a Ford GT40.

This car leaves no one indifferent. Some find it ugly; others like it. Personally, I love this 92-centimeter-tall beast. I think it's a worthy rival to the McLaren M6B GT in my AAA collection. No one has dared to mod it yet, so I'm taking it on.
