GrandpaMcGurk Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Being safety conscious and knowing this ride is going to be handful, Mr. Bones now has a skid lid. I can't get him to use the chin strap so it's just flapping in the breeze. I'm posting large photos so I tossed a nickle in the pics give you a better grasp on the actual size of his head.

jnickel Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 LOVE how you created Mr. Bones' helmet. Never would've thought of electrical tape as a faux leather. This is great eye candy. Keep up the great work and I'm in for more progress!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandpaMcGurk Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Jesse, I guess you could call me a dumpster diver of sorts....I will not buy anything I can fabricate from regular ol' house hold items. I figure if it looks right.......it is! Besides, times are tough & that leaves me a few coins for my 1:1 stuff. Bart...what am I going to do with you........are you expecting me to put a squished dragon fly in his teeth? Or perhaps a smashed forehead fly?

GrandpaMcGurk Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Don......super cool!!!!! WOW...coming from you John, I'm almost speechless. Thank you sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandpaMcGurk Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 And the head bone is connected to the neck bone.....the neck bone is connected to the backbone..... PEEK-A- BOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaMcGurk Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I never said that Bones was politically correct........this guy is into Jack Black and big ol' cigars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You know if you added a couple hundred pounds and a pair of goggles, you might have a Dr. Cranky clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaMcGurk Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 That's a riot Jim......he will have goggles but they will be pushed back on his head and no way will I put a scrapple sandwich in his shiftin' hand. Although unintentional it does look a bit like him ......skinnier perhaps....hee, hee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaMcGurk Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Bones is stylin' now......need to touch 'em up a bit but he's got his goggles - orange lenses and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 This is great model building, the skull and aviator cap are killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 That looks bad a$$. A red LED in the end of the cigar would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaMcGurk Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks Larry. Good idea Ray, but I doubt seriously I could find an LED small enough, and it would be too difficult to run a fiber optic up his backbone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
