I am really happy with the way these cops turned out. The uniform colour is meant to be
the midnight blue that all the modern *cool* cops are wearing these days. The bright red
highlights really work to bring the figs to life. These particular cops are painted to match
my local cops, as that is the best reference I had. Fun fig, lots of character.

This cop is totally the type of cop who is loud, abusive, macho, gung-ho, and willing
to do pretty much anything to get the answers he wants from harassing little kids to
using the old phone book billy club trick. He is typically the second last one to die in a
zombie movie... He sees help, thinks he has survived and comes out of hiding... only to
find Julie, the girl he date-raped in high school, waiting for him there, very much alive... Blam,
as in the re-make of Night of the Living Dead!

Probably my favourite pose, this cop is the one who survives the zombie apocalypse.
It looks like he really joined the force to make a difference, but like all cops, he
got jaded... Although, he never let his reluctance go, and so while his gung-ho buddies
went down, he kept his back against the wall :) Along with the pants pockets, I sculpted the
ammo pouch on the belt on this fig.

You can't have a group of cops without having one of them have a flashlight.
This cop is just asking for it... A zombie is likely just behind him, about
to take a bite out of his neck there! Painting lights is difficult, so I just went
from dark yellow to ivory; I guess that's not a LED flashlight!

Putting the cops together was fun... I am looking forward to dreaming up a
scenario to game them with! For each cop, I shaved off the original sculpted
shoulder patch so that I could do the larger, more modern looking one... That one
is a reasonable facsimile of the badge my local police wear (and, thanks to the scale
what most other police wear as well). I also sculpted on the cargo-pants pockets
for the same reason.
