Fixer Uppers

[Paul Spain]

Here I show the vehicles I've tried to make a bit better over the years, All haven't been finished or even tested yet ( I blame my mild Autism cause I'm constantly bouncing around project to project) Some oldies I find I can improove on, While others it's best just to redo the whole thing using our quality bases or newer bases I find either for NFS HighStakes or NFS 3 (can convert them easily) or use models from free models sites or GTA models converted over.

Let's start with Grungy Harry and Givix's Volga 3110 Russian Militia DPS car, I showed it to a expert via FaceBook and he was like  The main thing irked him was NO GAI or DPS Patrols EVER had Militia (or now days Police) on the hood, The lightbar using gumball lights was still used in that time but it was so dated too, so I found a better one on a Ambulance on SketchFab..Other changes all described in the pics.





The improovements    . I also fixed that missing bit from the right side door post.

Now we have the Mopars..FrankNfurter did a great job making Baardk's original to better quality and creating more versions Baardk left out, That said they were still plagued by a small back window and for whatever reson FrankNFurter gave them a wrong style door mirror..He used scoop shape which was mainly on 2 door versions, I edited those to the proper disc shape, Then I edited the back window to be bigger..I wanted to get the insides a bit bigger to fit perfect too but that messed up, So I'm goin with these as is, Afterall they ain't too bad now. I think we can tolerate them. 

I created a 1976 Dodge Coronet (there wasn't a good one and FrankNFurter retired before doing that one) using the 1976 Plymouth Fury (since the Coronet was what came to be the Fury)





Perhaps the easiest thing to fix was the back bumper blocks..We see FrankNFurter has them close to the center of the bumper.


But looking on the Police model Dodge Coronet and Plymouth Fury I found the bumper blocks go closer to the edges of the bumper.


So using the 1978 Dodge Monaco bumper as a guide I move them over where they go.

Now there will be several patrol vehicles made using the new updated bases but this is just to show edits done to improove things so I'll not put pics of them all, You get the idea now what was done and why. Enjoy.
