About product

Traffic patrol of the Czech Police 1992 in 1:72

A figure aimed at road duty, not at walking a beat in a town. A traffic patrol worked at the roadside, stopped vehicles and dealt with situations directly in the traffic, so the figure is of most use where a road, a verge or a parked car can be seen. The 1:72 ratio links it with models of cars and with the vehicles that are built in this scale.

Subject and equipment

What is depicted is a uniformed member of the force as he looked in the first half of the 1990s, when road duty was only taking on its present face. The equipment of the traffic service included the means for stopping vehicles and for working in reduced visibility; their exact form changed from year to year, so before painting it is worth comparing period photographs.

Tips for a small scale

Paint the figure while it is still on the sprue, as long as you have something to hold it by, and separate it only once the main areas have dried. The small items of equipment come to life if you reach for a paint noticeably richer than the one covering the rest of the figure. Do not make the road under the figure too smooth; a fine texture of asphalt with a hint of wear benefits the scene more than a perfect surface.

Which scene it suits

  • a roadside check with a vehicle parked on the verge
  • a diorama of a city arterial road of the 1990s
  • an addition to a collection of vehicles in 1:72 scale
  • a setting of an accident or a closure with traffic diverted

FAQ

The traffic service worked at the roadside and had the equipment for it, while a foot patrol moved about the streets on foot. In a diorama you will tell them apart by where you place the figure and by what you surround it with.

A piece of roadway with a verge, a sign and a parked vehicle looks the most natural. A small area is enough, because in the 1:72 ratio a scene can be built on a base the size of a palm and still look credible.

Use a paint a step richer than on the surrounding areas and apply it in one thin coat with the tip of the brush. A richer tone works better in a small scale than an attempt at faithful shades, which are lost at a distance.
