"There's no such word as 'finished' in modeling, Marigold!"
(But if I don't post this, I'll probably try touching something up, and who knows what kind of headaches would ensue).
Here it is, fresh from his race winning tour, out by Gertie's Garage, ready for cruising the show circuit,

Tom Slick's Thunderbolt Grease Slapper!
Tom Slick was a feature created by Jay Ward of Bullwinkle fame. His "always a good-sport" race adventures were run with George of the Jungle and Super Chicken.
He rebuilt the Grease Slapper every episode for a variety of races, sometimes a roadster, sometimes an airship, sometimes a sub, etc.
So, this version is based on the only constant, the Tom Slick title sequence for the show.
The base kit is a 1927 Ford Touring T. Click here to see the work-in-progress pics.
The backdrop/base with Tom, Marigold and Gertie was created from screen grabs from the show.
As always, thanks for lookin'!
