The drivers and passengers were painted before being glued into the vehicles (I'm not mad enough to have glued them in and then painted them!). :)<br /><br />@ Evan - thankfully, there are only a couple more packs of police that I haven't bought, so maybe a dozen more cops to add at some point! ;)<br /><br />@ Brendon - cheers! :)<br /><br />@ Millsy - I have no idea if any police forces had/used them, although I have read allegations that some state militias might have used them against striking miners around that period.<br /><br />@ David - thanks! I guess that the gloss finish might have made you think they were die-casts. The HMG is a handy addition to their arsenal :)<br /><br />@ Clint - such quibbles! But how innocent are those civilians really? ;)<br /><br />@ Sander - thanks! I thought the fire hydrant would help make that large base look less empty. Of course, after painting them all up, I found that I did have some 25x50 mm bases which might have been a better option.<br /><br />@ Peter - thanks!
