...State Troppers are ready to roll!    I really like these IXO '57 150s; they're nicely done and a bit heavier than one would think.   I now need 1/64 "vintage"  Police - State Troppers.    😉 😉

That looks really good for 1/64! Now how bout a “Car 54 where are you?” Or a Dan Matthews CHP ? Is there an “Adam 12?” or a “Mayberry?” I’m sure that there are a few more that I can’t think of. All of those TV series or movie police / sheriff cars could make a great collection.

"One of my crude attempts....."

@kenspear  Thanks - I may have to remove those over-sized tailpipes; they bug me a little.       You are right though; this nicely proportioned casting would look GREAT as a vintage gasser - I wonder what IXO has planned.    🤔 🤔 🤔 

Imagine seeing something like this in 1/64 scale!    😉 😉 😎

It looks great in all these forms ! Your grey seamless background in the first two photographs set off the replica '57 squad car very nicely ! What material did you use for that effect ?

@michaeldetorrice    HA!    Those first two pics are NOT mine; they were lifted  from the web - better than anything I could do, so I stole them.    😉 😉 😀    The last two crappy  outdoor pics are mine.....  🙄 🙄

The model in all it's forms looks terrific in all the photographs of it here, either in a studio-type or real world image. I have diecasts of the classic and great 1957 Chevy in several scales but not this little gem. (yet !)
