Tra la la, la la la la
A recent build of the Jimmy Flintstone resin cast (because... who can afford an original ) of the Banana Buggy from the Banana Splits Show.
Not on Dave's list of showrods, but one rarely seen done up (over 17 years ago on this site).
But, I grew up glued to the TV on Saturday mornings, so, here we are. They each had their own version of the buggy, but I did up Snorky's ride for this, since it has such distinctive markings and add-ons (tail and sunglasses).
That means he has to share drivetime with Fleagle and Drooper (sometimes Bingo, but he's known to go a little bananas ) Like most of the Flintstone resin, the kit was well done, with only minor flash and cleanup areas, and communication was awesome. I had to do up the decals, and created the bench using some other kit's cinder blocks and a couple of wood coffee stirrers.
Over hill and highway The banana buggies go Comin' on to bring you The Banana Splits Show!
Thanks for tunin' in!
