The Austin and crash helmet was airbrushed with decanted Tamiya TS-20 metallic green and clear coated with wet look. The Trouble Maker decals that I'm gonna use are from the Revell 50 Austin Gasser kit. I also glued a bolt inside the Monster so I could mount it on top of the Austin.   |

Thanks guys! Today I did the decals on the Austin, made a steering column and shifter, gave the monster hair on his head and some on his chin and painted the straps and bill on the helmet. The only thing I have left to do now is install the chassis. Looks like finished pics tomorrow! I had a lot of fun building this ! Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate it.  |

Man, that whole build rocks! Loving so much of it, all around, but I gotta ask: where'd you get the skull decals? The "skull and crossed wrenches" is an especially nice touch, I thought! The monster looks wildly cool. Those eyes: wow! The teeth, the skin tone, the hair: it all works. Loving the backwards-bent steering wheel -- very imaginative solution there! I will have to remember that way of doing things: that's a very nice trick to have in one's toolbox!
