Hello everyone! I just decided to share this little bit of information with everybody, and I hoped somebody would find it useful. :-)

 

 

When you are basing a police skin pack off of a real life department's graphics, most of the time you probably don't have access to vehicles where you could take your own photography, and we all know Google Images is not the best source...

a search for St Paul MN Police car:

 

Most experienced skinners probably already know this, so I am mainly reaching out to new skinners, ones with less experience, or people who don't skin and feel they may want to get into it. 

 

An amazing source for police car photos from almost any place in the world would be www.policecarwebsite.net. Policecarwebsite.net has an amazing database of police car pictures, great quality photos, and an amazing interface:

 

 

It is an amazing website, I suggest you check it out. And if it seems I am advertising, trust me, nobody from this website knows I exist. :-)

I don't make skins but when I do RL police vehicles I prefer to use Flickr.

Always has multiple angles as well as up to date photos. 

Same Here. I also use flickr for photos.
