About product

A traffic patrol of the Czech Police of 2020

A subject from the present, not from history. The figure depicts a member of the traffic service as he looked in 2020, so it suits scenes with today's traffic, with contemporary vehicles and with surroundings that a customer knows from the daily journey to work. The 1:72 ratio links it with models of today's vehicles and with airport and emergency vehicles.

What road duty looks like today

The work of a traffic patrol takes place at the roadside, often in reduced visibility, and the equipment matches that. Besides the uniform itself, today's service therefore works with reflective elements that are meant to warn drivers in good time. Compare how they are treated on this particular figure with a contemporary photograph, because the dress has continued to develop in recent years.

Colors and reflective elements

In a small scale reflective areas are not done with real fluorescent paint, which does not cover in a thin coat. You will achieve a better result by leaving the base light to white and only then applying a saturated yellow-green tone; the contrast then stands out even at a distance. The dark areas of the uniform on the contrary should be kept rather subdued, so that the pronounced elements are not lost. The base deserves attention too: fresh asphalt with road markings anchors the figure in the present day better than a neutral surface without detail.

For which builders

  • modelers of present-day road and emergency vehicles
  • makers of scenes from today's towns and highways
  • collectors who compare the appearance of the force over time
  • builders of small dioramas in a limited space

FAQ

The designation refers to the year 2020, that is to the present-day form of the traffic service. The figure therefore fits in among models of today's vehicles, while in a scene from the 1990s it would look out of place.

Choose a light base and over it a saturated yellow-green shade applied twice. Fluorescent paints cover badly on their own, so without a light coat under them the result looks muddy and the effect is lost.

Yes, the 1:72 ratio covers cars, vans and trucks, so the figure stands up beside any of them. Beside a larger vehicle it also brings out better how much smaller a person is than a cab.
