Matchbox 1956 Ford F100 Pick Up. I used parts from a Hot Wheels fire truck and added the light/siren on the front guard. One of my favourite's! |

Matchbox Convoy Ford Aeromax. The NSW Fire Brigade has a similar truck for their Hazmat Mobile Unit so I thought I would make my own version. One of my first attempts at decals. These were done on an inkjet printer. |

Matchbox Checker. This was originally a taxi but I saw a photo of a Checker police car and couldn't help myself! |
Matchbox Armoured Car. Again, I saw a photo of a similar vehicle with a battering ram attached to the front and thought it looked cool. |

Matchbox Model A and T Vans. I love old police paddy wagons and these models lend themselves so well. |
