Kicking off the week before the Creature Feature night of the year (Halloween, for those needing further reference  ).
My build of Big Daddy Roth's Fink Eliminator!
Did away with the Ford/Chevy/etc. hater aspect, and just went with the joy of smashing
(by which I mean I filled in the "I LIKE" text that was molded on the mallet). And blowing things up. I know many of us have gone thru that stage in our youth (well, model kits, anyway).
The kit's victim was lacking on the underside, so I beefed up his wheels with putty, and gave him a rudimentary engine block and undercarriage bits.
Not very handsome, but I'm sure his mom loves him.
Be safe out there!

Outstanding !!! I have been buried getting my 1:1 1960 Cadillac ready for delivery to it’s new owner .. what a great job on the Eliminator and company .. I may very well follow your lead and fill in the lettering as well as it was all left on my first issue build .. it’s time to change it up a bit ! Great job on a vintage kit and the added detailing you add is always icing on the cake !

Inspired colour choices there, they really make this stand out. As for his Mom loving him, not if that's her car going under the hammer!

Great choice of colors , the blue and purple really work well together ! And the few minor changes make it one-of-a-kind . . . love the "Cherry" bomb ! |

I love this build!!!
Great work!!!
I’m digging the added touches especially the “Cherry Bomb”!!!
I never took fireworks to my models,although I thought about doing it to my PINK Revell “Charlie’s Angels Van”. That box and kit became my weed stash box instead which started the end of my teenage model building. I wasn’t very good or productive when I was high!!!
