[MOC] Polie Mobile Command Center & Patrol Vehicles

[BrickAddict90]

I have no idea how to edit the thread name, should read "POLICE", not "POLIE" ;)

Hello Eurobricks community! Last I checked in I posted a preview of a MOC police station I was working on nearly a year ago. It wasn't working out the way I had hoped so I scrapped the entire project. The main issue being space; I have very little room to display my creations until I have my very own house beginning later on next year. Anyway, this project started out of being dissatisfied with all versions of Lego's Mobile Command Centers / Surveillance Trucks. They were all too small and not very functional for surveillance or command purposes. So I scrapped my 7288 set and began construction on a more functional version of it. Additionally, I was never satisfied with any of Lego's patrol cars either. Last I posted about a year ago, I had designed a patrol car but I still wasn't completely satisfied with it. So I modified it a bit more, and pictured at some point below is the finalized version that I am very happy with. Here we go!

Side view:

Yes, the compartments on the bottom are fully functional as storage compartments, something that official Lego models were lacking. The fence/barrier element on the left can be detatched and set up as a road barrier. There is another barrier on the other side as well. Side view with ramp down and door open:

Back view with doors open. Six radios and six pair of handcuffs are attached to 1x1 modified plate with claw. I wish I took an overhead picture showing it from the top.

Top view. Two air conditioning/air purification units on top with a satellite dish and fully functional roof-access hatch. The roof needs some more antennae.

Roof view with the access hatch opened:

Roof completely off, showing officers at work at their stations:

Other side of work stations:

Driver's seat:

Side view again with road barriers detatched and officers standing alongside:

Overhead view of entire police fleet thus far:

Front view:

Eventually, these vehicles will all belong to a fully functional Lego police station, again, once space allows later on next year. Overall, I am very happy with how my mobile command center turned out. The only part I'm not totally satisfied with is the front bumper. I may end up replacing the entire part with one of those fence elements from the Star Wars Final Duel II sets. Other than that, I like the boxy look the truck has. I didn't want it looking too "futuristic" with slopes and curves all over the place. Other than that, the only other section I would consider improving would be the interior detailing. It's tough to add much detail to such a small area, but we'll see what I can come up with. Either way, I'm happy with it.

I'm pretty happy with the patrol cars as well, I don't think there's anything much I would change on them either. I have plans on building one or two undercover, unmarked patrol cars - same exact design, just black and dark gray in color without a light/siren bar on top.

Let me know what you think, and thanks for looking! :)
