Here's my project today - making more stuff for this thing - it's getting close to being in pint, except for a bunch of little stuff to fabricate:

Ohhhhh, that looks GREAT Bob! The proportions are PERFECT! It sits really nice too - great job! I never would've realised you stretched it, if you hadn't said

All in Different stages of build.
Have a Fab1, building slowly at the moment. Will paint this a pearl pink colour. Some minor modifications under front and rear bumpers
A Japanese model, comes with a lot of foil detailing on canopy/bubble-top, and body. This one has a clear canopy. (not blue).
Two Lil projects.
a Lil Gasser ('modelroundup' reissue), that has the original sized big and littles. stock.
then A Lil Garbage ...been working on for a while. Garbage Truck on the back of a lil gasser cab...Lego wheels and tyres. Some modifications. Colour choice has changed during plans. Dark Green Metalflake, Light Green panels.
Rebuilding a Paddy Wagon, never happy with paint on this one...so changed to Plum Crazy, and Dark Blues. Modified the body with plastic card. This is the version with the 2 Kop figures. Only used Police Decals. Thinking of alternative replace the 'globes' on the back..

Oh wow Bobby! You know how much I love your work, so getting to see some new stuff of yours that I haven't seen before is AWESOME. I really love the Mixer, the Taxi and the Dragon Wagon in particular, but all your stuff is always cool! I was just about to open up a Dragon Wagon myself here, funnily enough - I picked one up earlier in the year and it keeps calling to me to put some primer on it...

I really love the black edge on the Tijuana Taxi's top. So simple, and yet it adds a lot.

Ohhhhh, that'll make a cool build! Are you gonna build it as per the box art or do something different with it?

Ohhhhh, that'll make a cool build! Are you gonna build it as per the box art or do something different with it? Right now I'm undecided if this will be my next build. I do have some ideas and plans for it. I have two other models that I want to build, and others that I want to finish first. But to answer your question, I do plan to build it box stock, but closer to the cartoon. |

Here is an old build of mine, that I dug out again and refreshed a bit. I think I built it 30 years ago from the Elvira Macabre Mobile kit and at that time I was not aware that this kit was also one of the Dave's 275+ chosen ones… ... because today I would build it completely different!  Ford 1958 Custom T- Bird This is cool Bobby! Awesome! A survivor! It'd be cool to see you build an updated version! |

I'm working on my 3rd Gridiron Grabber. I do one for each school team. I have completed grade school and junior high/high school. I'm working on the Junior College team now. He is now playing for the University Central Arkansas, so there will be a 4th. I'll try and post some in progress shots.

It's the weekend again fellas!
I'm working on the paint for this Zinger still - shot some Createx pink pearl over a fade from white to yellow to red with some flame masks that I cut...still a lot to do, but I'm fairly pleased so far anyway:
I've gotta move in a few weeks so I'm trying to wrap some stuff up whilst I don't have ALL my modelling stuff packed away. Gonna try and do some work on my Beer Wagon project too - gotta paint some more woodgrain, which isn't my favorite so I've been putting it off...
