Here are a few of the CHP cars from my shelves.

CHP #1
CHP #2
CHP #3

And a recent addition of a Bulgaria sourced 3D printed 1961 Dodge Polara station wagon,  modified to a sedan and finished in CHP livery.

The process

1961 Dodge const #2
1961 Dodge const #1
1961 Dodge CHP const

And completed

1961 Dodge CHP #4
1961 Dodge CHP #6
1961 Dodge CHP #5

And a video from Jay Leno on the prototype.

This is commendable work and dedication. At this scale, it seems very hard to be accurate with sharp details and accuracy in the final rendition of a complete model.

I am wondering what is really the market for a company like this. Maybe just the basic railroad dioramas.

John, your work is terrific as always and the Jay Leno film a real plus. While I question the beauty of the 61 Dodge Polara, my dad's 383 equipped four door hardtop was an outstanding performer and fun to drive.

Let's not forget Brooklin's 1955 Buick. It's busy doing what CHP cars do, pulling over those speeding teenagers!
