Plastimatic's "Trick-or-Toon" WIP

[plastimatic]

Well, it's comin up 4th of July soon. Must be time to work on my Halloween stuff

Frankie's Flivver is an old build, but hopefully, this build will fit right in with my other Aurora monster rides.

The orange and black is purely coincidental... or am I done already? .

[TooOld]

Don't believe in coincidences , that orange and black is a sign of good things to come !

[plastimatic]

Some minor surgery, but far from final.

Got my driver



But he needs some body sculpting to fit in, I reckon.



Some putty to fill the holes, and I wanted to give him a really emphasized hump (What hump?)

[Starryeyes]

Absolute creepiness !!

[sharp]

Cool project!!!

[dogfish7]

Very Kewel!!

[plastimatic]

Okay, so, I cut off those fenders for nothing, 'cause... true to form, I've changed my mind and going with different body:


Got a little paint on ol' Quasi, but he's not finished:



Still a couple of pieces of this build I haven't figured out yet, but soldiering on...

[Starryeyes]

Nothing wrong with changing direction !

[plastimatic]

Got some more pieces put together.

First up, some wheels.

Rear tires and wooden hubs from Huey's Hut. I switched front and back hubs so that I could add some meat to the front set.

Some drybrushing.

Huey's ride also supplied the basics for the frame. The pipes are from a Silly Surfers Woodie.

Used some alcohol inks to do a little stained glass on the windows. The inks, when used like this, are usually fairly transparent, but I put an overspray of silver on the back to make them translucent, since there's nothing to see in there.

Here's how it sits, along with a monster motor. Pen bits for the pipes.

Movin on...

[TooOld]

Using the hubs from Huey's looks great and fits in with the whole Hunchback theme !
First I've heard of Alcohol Inks . Did a quick search and they look like something I need to try , thanks for the tip !

[Starryeyes]

Nice touch with the alcohol based paints ! it looks very realistic .. I can see another top shelf model when this is finished . cutting edge buddy …

[plastimatic]

Hokay, here's some of the pics I held back for the "What the?..." effect.

This is the kit I used for the back of the Quasimodofied:

I used the bell tower and the two larger stained glass windows to build the add-on.

BTW, the kit comes with stained glass inserts, and behind that cheap looking double-door sticker is a nicely detailed set of doors. I tossed the sticker and painted them up.

The skulls are metal beads from the craft bin. Lotsa drybrushing

Here's how it looked after I cut up the orange car and fitted it on. You also see Quazi's original hands, which I replaced with a set in a grip pose from an action figure that was similar in size.

Wasn't quite sitting well with me. I should have planned the car cuts to wrap the roof lines down the side  of the tower.

So I played around with a couple of kits and I liked the way the body of this Lindberg Tall T fit right into the opening of the bell tower.

The action figure's head (the Freak, from McFarlane's Spawn line) became the gargoyle in the grill:

[TooOld]

Easy to see why you swapped bodies , the Tall T really fits the cathedral perfectly !

[Starryeyes]

A perfect mate of wood and steel !! Now THAT is spooky !! 👍

[plastimatic]

Something wackier I'm working on, should time allow.
A couple of Harry Potter backpack clips, a Drag Hag head, and some gumballs.



Rigging up something like this, with only one rear tire.
The fender is the seat from the Drag Hag, flipped. Front end from the Tall T  that I used on the Quasimodofied.



Just a quick mock up before moving forward:



Rear setup:



I'll get around to carving the hair to better mate up with the fender.

Still trying to pick up accent parts.
