Building a new avatar

I've decided to do a new take on my avatar build. That's the old Glencoe/Lindberg Flying Saucer kit. I think the kit has about 8 parts total but I love it. This time out it gets an engine (Double Trouble early hemi) and there will be body (fuslage?) mods that I haven't done yet. What I have in mind is '59 Caddy tail fins. The original kit has a cockpit about 1/4" deep and only the head and upper torso of E.T.'s uncle so I've opened up the cockpit to full depth. A bucket seat from a Studebaker Avanti fits right in (wouldn't you know it!) and the pilot's head is getting matched up to an old Ulrich Mini-man body. Just havin' some fun with this one! ;)
