OK, so I'll go first. This is the Valhalla Wagon. I used the frame from an old original issue Tijuana Taxi, a parts box engine and scratchbuilt the boat-looking parts. I used a Warhammer white metal dragon head, with a wash, on the front, and figure gaming parts for the shifter (a chromed sword) and wings coming out of the back. The front axle is from a Red Baron, the rear axle and drive assembly is from a Beer Wagon and the wheels from a Raiders Coach. The front wheels are AMT stock Model T, a Viking helmet inspired horned steering wheel, Tijuana Taxi treasure chest as a seat and I used the bag from a pack of Gold Nugget bubble gum airbrushed with red stripes to make the fabric seat back look kind of like a viking ship's sail. This was a fun build! |

Okay, this is my first entry. The name I recieved was: The Big Kahuna I based this build on a Depth charger. I used 2 DC helmets to make the tiki head. It took a lot of work to close/alther the openings, in the DC helmets. After I cut the new eyes and altered the side holes into door openings, I made the lips and eyebrows out of Evergreen half-round strip. I engraved the teeth, and made the top out of Evergreen sheet, edged by Evergreen half-round. The nose is made of FIMO clay or putty. I dont know if its a danish thing, but it is a form of putty you can form, and then you bake it in the oven to make it hard. The Tiki head (and the headlights) were then covered in putty, which I contured to make it look a bit like wood. Since the Depth Charger has the rear Corvair engine, it took some work to convert it into a rear wheel driven, front engine car. I used the rear axle from a Boot Hill Express, and a rear leaf spring assambly from my parts box. The engine is the tripple blown engine from the Creepy T show rod. The front grille (its there, behind the big head lights  ) is from a Switchers T rod. Steering wheel from a Barris T bucket, and finally bits and pieces from the parts box. The wheels and tires are of course, from the Depth Charger.     |

Here is my second entry, and the name for this one, was: Little Italy Okay. I started with a frame that I believe to be a Chevy frame. It was quite big, and I had it in my parts box for years and years. I modified it a lot. Then I used the front axle and front wheels from a Horn Toad. Since the rear axle from the Horn Toad is off-center, I used the rear axle from my parts box. The rear wheels are also from the Horn Toad. The engine is the straight six from Monograms `53 Chevy, I used the kit provided custom carb setup, and the exhaust are a heavily modified exhaust from the Horn Toad. The grille is from my parts box, and its been there for many years. I dont know from which kit it came, it was quite big. (Dusenberg?) Anyway, I cut it down a lot, to make it fit better. Then the body... I had this Gunxe Sangyo Fiat 500 lying around. I knew I was`nt going to built it anyway, so why not cut it up. So I did.... I used the front of the Fiat for the torpedo, and scrathbuilt a C cab body, from Evergreen plastic sheet. On the back of the C cab body, I put the rear end of the Fiat, and molded it in... The headlights, front ornament, blinkers and cut-down front bumper, are from the Fiat, as are the rear lights, rear license plate light, and rear bumper. The steering wheel, the gear shifter, and the seats are also from the Fiat. To sparkle a little Little Italy feeling on tha car, I added a Fedore hat and a Tommygun to the interior. Of course the paint reflects on the Italian theme, with the green frame, white engine, and red body. The decals is made by Pegleg (Hotwheels Bob) Thank you my friend  Also a big thank you to Brandon, for the Horn Toad parts          |

Thrasher's T
This is my second Name Game build, built to the name Thrasher's T. I couldn't work out if 'Thrasher' was a thrash-metal guitarist or a skateboarder, so I tried to make something that either of those guys would dig! I used a pile o' parts Tijuana T body, reassembled and reshaped with sheet plastic, a Red Baron chassis, a front mounted Corvair engine and custom 3d printed Coffin Corner wide front 'n' rear tires. I used cheap rattlecan black for the body and chassis, Tamiya purple acrylic for the interior and Alclad and Molotow for the shiny bits. The purple tinted windshield is acetate sheet - and the skateboard was made from styrene sheet and a tiny toy car for the wheels.
