Beach Buggy Tires? New build added today

[barten]

This is another older build.

So I got this idea for drinking a Pepsi. . . in a 20oz bottle. . . if you look at the bottom of the plastic bottle. . . there is a really cool pattern on the bottom . . so I tried to figure out how to cut it in half and glued them together and puttied the seam. Sanded and painted. AND They are so over sized. . . I didn't know what to so with them. . . thinking about an ink cartridge and a modem case. . . .So I came up with this beach buggy. . . . .It is a toon of all TOONS!

I have that kit. . . can't wait to build it. The tub and other parts came from a scrap pile at a company I work with!

Tooold,
You can make them yourself. . . Just look at the plastic bottles around you. . . Even the hotel shampoo bottles.

Here is another build I did. . . the sides is a plastic shoe horn (cut in half) and the side pipes are interchangeable makeup brushes and the tires are Shampoo bottles from a hotel.
















At first I was trying to imitate a red-winged black bird - but it ended up looking like a tick. . .

I love the challenge of using something from our daily lives to add into the build.
