[glow=red,2,300]NOSE JOB For HOG VETTE!!![/glow] I started by cutting out the body section where the front axle comes through. Next I cut off the excess back portion. Then I cut the Dragster Body right down the middle. [glow=red,2,300]More Coming Soon![/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]More Nose Work...[/glow] I cut a triangle of sheet plastic about 3/4" by 5". This will bring the width of the Nose out to fit the Vette Body Section. I turned the Nose over and glued the 4 Sections together. After some more cutting and fitting I attached the Nose and the Body together. I glued the Corvette Section about 3/32" above the height of the Nose. [glow=red,2,300]What Next?[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]BODY FITTING!!![/glow] I cut out and attached a sheet plastic triangular shape, up against the edge of the Corvette Body. This makes the Body Parts level. I added a strip of plastic along the bottom edge of the Corvette Body to match it up with the Nose section. I wonder...what kind of Engine should we use?

[glow=red,2,300]ANOTHER NOSE JOB!!![/glow] I didn't like the Dragster Nose so I sliced it off on an angle... Then I cut a piece of plastic to fill-in the New Nose! Now, where is that Front Wing?

[glow=red,2,300]VETTE WING!!![/glow] I couldn't find the Front Dragster Wings, so I made my own wing. I wanted some of the Corvette Shape up front and the Front Bumper/Grill was Perfect! I cut the Grill off the Bumper. Next I cut and fit sheet plastic to fit into the Bumper/Wing. I glued the plastic into the Bumper/Wing and measured the fit on the Nose. So after some cutting and fitting, I got the New Corvette Wing in place! ;D

A little more paintwork, the eyes are very 3d looking, the pupil/iris is molded in a shape that is very realistic. Davey is almost done, he got a little more detail paint, teeth, tongue and fingernails.I have the club logo designed for the jacket and hope to have it painted soon, then it's just a final fitment of the hands and some ballast in his butt to keep him from rolling over. Without the flash and truer colors.

Well Ira, the story is that area 51 was overrun with these heavily armed giant alien rats, I figure they were looking to recover one of their ships we shot down....well buddy, we had to come up with a way of chasing them down and disposing of them. A group of hard core gear heads got together and....well the vehicle speaks for itself.......the only good alien rat is a dead rat....right? Well, alrighty then....just finished up the giant alien rat's combat vehicle, it's big, hairy, bad tempered and has a nasty poisonous bite. Now if I can just get this thing to stand still and quit biting me for a minute I'll get a saddle on it.

Ira...the spider is a soft plastic toy I picked up somewhere. I split it's legs and inserted some stiff wire so they'd hold their shape.....flocked it with black and brown, added a few hairs from a gag wig and used dress maker pins for the eyes.The fangs are painted common pins, Lots more to do....but it's getting there. Here's some eye candy - Crushed '65 Chebie Impala 750 HP turbine engine Quad M-60 belt fed machine guns Rocket tubes '57 Caddy Eldorado Brougham body Alien Rat and his hairy combat vehicle....hope to have this "Toon Car" under glass before the end of the contest.
