Seen the Ed Roth Dio and that thing blew me away with all the super detail. Here is one I didn't see in the dio.. Ed Roth druid Princess.. The body is a resin casting along with the coffin gas tank. The frame,fenders,radiator shell, Interior,headers,coil spring perches, is all scratch built from styrene. The engine, front and rear suspension is parts box goodies. Interior all flocked. Lexan windows. Painted gloss white with pearl purple fenders and high lites. A blast to build and a grail to the Big Daddy Ed Roth collection. Enjoy..      |

Really great detailed job - did you remember to hide a 4-barrel under the blower housing?

Thanks for the comments guys.. I wish it was a kit also. Would have saved all the scratch building and blurred vision..LOL
Al,
The picture is from a cover of a vintage 60's hotrod cartoon mag.
dress as a fairy.. Well.. Kind of like the real Roth I guess. Always a jokster and whatever he did would always get a laugh or chuckle..
Didn't build it like the real deal Bud with a carb under the blower..
That was a thing back then for fake blowers on just show cars I guess..
Ironhead,
Got the druid body in a trade with a very good friend who I still thank for hooking me up with one of my grail wants... Have been looking for more to do another but the guy never got back to me after the last email.. Oh well. Maybe come across 1 at a show sometime..

Nice work!
This must have been a challenge to find and make some of the parts.
I too, wish this was a kit.

I know he was quite a character, -but if you must dress as a fairy, -don't let anyone take your picture ! ! ! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D -AL |
