Pretty cool stuff Chuck , I love Frankie and his '55 !  I guess it's my turn to get in on this . I don't have any oldies , just the few Toons that I've done in the last couple of years . First up are a couple of Deal's Wheels . When I started building models in the 60's I was also into Slot cars and the Auto World catalog was my favorite reading material ! I built this McLapper as Oscar Koveleski's McLaren !  And this is my take on "Bandit One" from Smokey and The Bandit .  Next are some Tom Daniel Snap Kits starting with a 426 Hemi powered Boss Bulldozer !  This is a customized Thunder Bug . The driver is a "Toy Story" figure .  And the last one is a Li'l Red Baron .  |

The Go CartThe Aurora Godzilla's Go Cart www.monstersinmotion.com/cart/popup_image/pID/15934The Aurora Godzilla's Go Cart kit was manufactuered in 1966. A 1/12 scale model kit molded in green and yellow plastic, this was kit number 485 in the Aurora line. This kit is considered by many to be the single most desirable and most elusive of all Aurora monster kits, and the box alone can cost a small fortune. Aurora was forced to stop production on the kit by Toho because it apparently "demeaned" Godzilla's trademark. Meaning, one supposes, that Goji wouldn't ride a go cart.  Soo... The Polar Lights Go Cart www.timemachinetoys.com/polarlights/PLGoCart.JPGReproduced from the original rare Aurora kit by Polar Lights, in 1999, this kit was only on the market for about a year, before Polar Lights discontinued production. Polar Lights did not have the proper licensing to produce and sell this kit with the likeness of Godzilla. The subsequent law suit made the production run and public sales limited. I have the Polar Lights version, The Go Cart... ;D The main body of the cart was sprayed with Tamya Spray cans, light Blue, covered with clear, the rest and Goji himself were hand painted in enamels and acrylics, and I dry brushed a lot... The kit has always been a grail for me, It took many years to get it, and even more to build it, finally I made it!  Almost boxstock, a few small changes, the wheels are modified DW `s, therefore the brake had to be repositioned and some engine details... The only thing missing is this, eye glass, I've searched everywhere, no idea where that is, so I leave this hole in the nose, if this part shows up again someday... Here are the pics, hope, you like it.

Endsville EddieThe "Weird-Oh's" kits were designed by Bill Campbell, and were originally released by Hawk in the sixties. These comical kits featured bug eyed, big toothed monsters, crazed race car drivers, wacky beach bums, and far out rock and rollers. This one is made by LINDBERG from the original HAWK vintage molds. The main body of the car was sprayed with Tamya Spray cans, Mica Red, over a silver base, the rest of the car and Eddie himself were hand painted in enamels and acrylics, and I dry brushed a lot... This was a fun little kit, mostly boxstock, although the nice thing about these kits is the creative freedom, the only thing that's changed is the shifter, added a couple of small refinements, the chain for the anchor comes from a necklace, and some skratchbuilt foot brake parts, and of course the base, an old picture frame, filled with plaster, plus a new wall, handmade from a piece of PVC and a bit of kolor, finally finished, hope, you like it.

"GUITAR TRIKE" This bad dude started as a Davey. I changed his upturned smile to a downturned frown. Removed his teeth and added new ones. Added a tongue and a nose & rounded his chin and added some zits. Removed his biker cap and used a helmet from a Red Baron with some Enterprise engines. Hands came from a phantom of the opera. Added a front flap and studs to the jacket plus a few other things. The trike has 1/16 rear wheels and tires. The forks are 1/8 along with the shift pedal, lever exhaust tips and exhaust cooling fins. 1/25 model A front wheel and all that is duct-taped to the guitar. Eyeball headlight, custom tail light, plumbing exhaust pipes from Huey. Plus a bunch of other little touches. Rock on!Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |
