I had considered ebay for this truck as I had never seen one in a store. I was at a Dollar Tree and they had some of last years Matchbox cars just put out. There was one of each. I got this one finally. I put some of the details on I liked and added a slightly tall light. I really like this model and will hope to find another soon. It would be a perfect match to tow the radar trailer around Boone County. In the last two pictures, the Sheriff cornered a speeder.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Interesting fact is Boone county is next to Cooper county and the county seat of Cooper County is Booneville. |

This may be one of the last weekends I could devote so much time to my small vehicles. The weather is improving and other hobbies and jobs will take over. I picked up a few more Boone County pick ups from the Bay and wanted to make one to tow with. Of course it would have to tow the radar trailer. Once I got my first BC truck, I had planned to paint a radar trailer to match. I'll keep the day job as I will never make it as a pin stripper, but you get the point. Keith, if you don't have one, you'll have to get the Sheriff to get one now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, it was a very tedious chore to get the speeds to stand out, but that one is done. The lighted magnifier came in very handy on that. |

Like the "custom" of the radar trailer to Boone County colors - and the bubble lights on the pickup add to the model as well.

Great work on both pieces! I especially like how you applied a black undercoat to the letters in order for them to stand out more when the colour was applied to it. I tried simply detailing the numbers themselves, but they didn't turn out quite as well as I hoped. And yes, I can relate to you on how tedious it was to paint the numbers... |

No, unfortunately I only have some of the pick up trucks and the Explorer and trailer from Greenlight. I just got back into really collecting in the last 18 months. I really like the connection that Keith has with Matchbox, Greenlight, JL and hopefully others. I'll be all over any Boone County items I run across in the future. I'm trying not to get everything off of the Bay, but it's difficult. I wish I had a similar star decal for the trailer. I'll be looking forward to the new Boone County MB. Thanks for the good comments. I tried to highlight the speed in bright yellow at first, but it didn't work too well. I applied the flat black first, used a silver sharpie onto the "barely" raised segments and then cleaned up the overage with more flat black with a very fine brush. |
