Thank you, Dave!  Now, such a build retreat to the length, and never seem to be ready...  ... but, where is the fun factor? Sometimes, much more fun are the heavy paths and the journey is the destination...  Green = Leek, comes from a PLAYMOBIL®- set Rosy = Flower, comes from another PLAYMOBIL®- set Yellow = Hat, comes from a Kinder Egg- Gimmick figure White = a piece of polystyrene  I let the pictures speak...    Well, yes, the flower pot, I could quickly make it on the lathe... ... but, where is the fun factor? ;D ;D Here's a possibility if you have no lathe on Hand... The hat loses his sun protection...  This is an inner rim...  I need only this ring...  ... and it fits...  ... composition...  ... a little Color...  ... and at its final place...  Hope, you like it. |

What a mind you have! Great work. How do you explain to your kids that you "borrowed" some of their toys? Dave |

My little boy is developing an interest in model building and so I have begun coaching him in the craft.
Your ingenuity and creativity is stunning! I haven't built a kit in 40 or so years but after seeing your build, I am inspired to build some of the old kits I have stashed in the attic with him!
Wonderful work!

Thank you for the kind words! You can be assured, my kids do not miss their toys, these are all my own... I order these parts on ebay, there are some cool vendors who take their cause seriously, and with whom I like to do business. The only disturbing thing is, the time it is applied to search, Things that you know exactly how they should look, and that they are also available, but just then, they are nowhere to be found...  Just like these three things for the planned dio... ... it has taken an eternity to find this, and again as long to keep it in the hands...   There is still much to do... |

Wow I'm glad you made progress on this, it's one of my favorite builds ever posted on this forum, but were dd you get the parts. So far my kit is just sitting on the bench half finished, I haven't found much time to build lately as I just sold off most of my classic cars I had bought over the past couple of years and plan to "if everything goes right" pick up a 70 roadrunner barn find to make into a sort of rat rod muscle car, maybe in a couple of days I'll find time to work on finishing the koo koo kar, I bought a depth charger and plan to do it up like the rest of the kit, with pastel. The only parts I'm missing from the kit now are the headlights. The hemi howler is kinda just a body , after I just decided to replace the frame with a new one and start over using just the body, engine block, and the tail/ head lights. Actually the only build I finished this year has been the nitro bum, I hope to get something done during the fourth of July weekend

I was totally gobsmacked while browsing the build up pages, you are a perfectionist. The attention to detail is absolutely flawless.
Well done. |

Thank you very much for the nice words! Love the detail work....how do you make parts look antiqued or weathered like that.I love the workmanship Well, it requires a lot of exercise, until certain results are good, so I practice again and again... But... ... I think that our friend here, Fred Mellini, has contributed an essential part, where I am today, he has opened my eyes, so to speak! I've always been a big fan of his incredible builds and he is the guru of dry brushing, here's just a small sample of how to do it: coffincorner.proboards.com/thread/13239/brushing-step-demo-fred-melliniThank you, Fred! |
