1/87 SPVQ (Quebec City Police) Charger

Post by Rivet Counter » Mon Feb 28, 2022 4:04 am

Based on a Ricko 1/87 model. I wish there were newer Chargers available but I worked with what I had. This was a work project, the car is on "paid duty" maintaining a road closure due to a water main in Petit Quebec

Lighting is mostly 0402 SMD LEDs, lightbar has 16 LEDs and I have "dual colour" lightheads on the deck and pushbar and in the windows. Control comes from several ATTiny chips running the lightbar, 2x strobes, and head/taillights dimming with PWM. Decals were designed and applied by the graphic artist in my department, not the greatest but enough to look good on the display. She also lightly weathered the car which helps the effect in a snowy Quebec scene. I'll update this post with a photo of it from the guest's view this week.
