I found a picture on line the other day that I really like so I think I'm going to try to do a model of it. It has our finky friend in a deuce with Minnie Mouse and a very unhappy Micky running after them. I will be doing the car and figures in Sculpey. This is the picture, I will post a few progress pics when I get started.

I did my own version of the "Fink Eliminator" a couple of months ago I made the figure out of Sculpey. I'm a member of the Muncie modelers club and we had a theme for the August meeting. We were all going to build the same kit Revell's 62 Chevy Impala. I was not very happy about this choice so I did a little protest build. I think the Rat Fink is going to be a little bit more challenging though.

Well my experiment worked the Sculpey body is started I made a Styrofoam mold for the body wrapped it in aluminum foil and put the Sculpey on the mold. I still have to sand it and add the details like the trim and fire wall but it's a start.

I also have Rat Fink's head done here are some pictures.

I have an update, I'm using parts from a 1/18 scale die cast Deuce that I've had for a long time I have all of the parts ready except for the 1/10 scale engine I still have to get from my LHS. The figures are all finished except for Rat Fink's hands and some sanding and painting. I'm using the frame, front end, interior, wind shield and front wheels from the die cast. I may use the radiator cowl and head lights too. I made some big slicks out of Sculpey and I'm working on the body now. I'll post some more pics tomorrow.

I finally got the engine in the Fink's Deuce I have run out of Sculpey so I have to get some before I can finish Rat Fink and start painting the car body and figures. I had to stretch the frame to get the motor to fit but it looks pretty good in there. I will post some pictures tomorrow.
