Thought I would do another trailer fink. I had this old Ron Cash resin teardrop trailer hanging around since 1995 so I guess it has collected enough dust by now! Also had an incomplete Crash Bandicoot. He looks just like a big ol' rodent-style fink to me. He may be a marsupial but will end up a rat. Groovy Grader rear wheels and maybe a small engine and two wheels up front on the trailer tongue.

Okay - I filled in the eyebrow and hair holes in his head. The first pic shows the bandicoot ears which to me seem too cat-like. So I used one half of the flying surfboard engine pods to use for more mouse-like ears like mickey mouse style or rat fink.

Here is my mockup of the whole project. Still have to graft some different hands to his arms and find a little engine.

Got the arms, hands and ears all glued up and holes drilled for eyes and whiskers. Found a nice steering wheel from some weirdo. Now the part I hate is more putty work.

He’s looking great Fletch ! I’m amazed at how quickly he resembles Mickey .. great concept and execution 👍 |

Got some primer on it - glad to see that orange go away. Doing as much as I can with these stupid power outages here in El Dorado County.

Well... all those power outages really threw us for a loop but now things are back to "normal" so I can get back to modeling. I put a light coat of texture on the rat's skin. (using Krylon Suede paint) Primed the trailer. Found an engine for it in the Vampire Van kit which was pretty small and started painting bits and pieces.
