ipmsusa2 Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Working on commissioned article that is a vignette incorporating a motorcycle cop making a traffic stop on a 24th scale farm tractor and its driver. Problem is that somehow I ended up with a 35th scale standing motorcycle cop instead of the required 24th scale. I know. Stupid, stupid. Worse, I didn't realize it was 35th until I started to position everything on a base. Yeah, REALLY stupid! So far I have been unable to find a standing motorcycle cop in 24th scale. Since figures aren't my strong suit, meaning I'm not familiar with the various figure manufacturers, here I am needing your help. If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would be more than grateful, because without the cop the vignette can't be completed or the article finished. HELP!

ipmsusa2 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Update: Found a couple of kits from the Ukraine that I think I can combine to create the cop that I need. Ordered from a U.S. company that is supposed to have'em in stock. But the operative word is 'supposed'. Now we'll see if I get'em in the next week or so or if they don't show up til September!

VonL Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I recall seeing some LEO figures amongst "G-scale" model railroad stuff. It's officially 1/22.5 scale, but the actual scale of the figures appears to vary - a lot. Some are very nice, others toy-like. Master Box makes some LEOs in 1/24, but I've not seen a motorcycle cop in there. Good luck! Edited July 4, 2020 by VonL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Did you get the figure you needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipmsusa2 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yes and no. Wound up cobbling up a figure from two different police figure kits. Turned out all right. At least the magazine was satisfied. Here's a couple or three shots of the end result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
