Rider Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) I built this for the owner of my LHS. I smoke is expandable foam, it still needs somework to be useable for a scale build. The the only thing that is from the original kit is the basic figure, the grill and the body and steering wheel. Everything else on the car from various scale kits, I made the readr wheels, and the hair in the arms and chest are from my Lab.

CB Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Tha's pretty cool, Plastic! I wouldn't sweat the hair thing--looks good with some of 'em pulled out! (just don't do that again ) Nice mix of the differnt parts. You gonna do any painting on the smoke? I'm hopin' to do a shoebox kinda similar and I was thinkin' of using cotton balls fer the smoke. Might have to consider the expandable foam for some of it. Probaly have to airbrush it. Again, nice job. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smoke is painted, but it does need work., I'll post some more pics when I up load to photobucket. The foam thing is totally doable, ya just have to mess around with what ever works for you. I bought one of the dispencing guns that the cans screw into, it give ya a ton more control. I boughtit after I did this. I'm going to try a different method and material for smoke real soon. It'll be cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercman Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Here's one I did using Angel Hair for the smoke. Tinted with a light spray of flat black. Here is another, but no smoke. I still have about 5 more yet to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks guys for the comments, I have to get set-up with Photobucket I have some much better shots. Mercman I'm really digg'n' the Angle Hair, the way you've wrapped it around the tires, bravo. I learned alot doing that build, the painting and assembly was interesting, aircraft guys would be real good at this kind of building. You have to think along the same though patternas building a plane. I'm looking for something that catches my eye to try something else.
