Nosferatu

I've always loved this car and have been thinking about building it.I got a box of gluebomb planes from a show and found one to use.I traced it out and cut it up. I widened the body and added material.There are only about 5 or 6 angles of the car and none of a rear view. It is mostly scratched build from a plane fuselage. I made the fenders. The catface is made from a type of sculptee. I rolled it real thin and my wife drew the shape. I cut it out and formed it over the head of a duck decoy as it had the best shape then painted it. I also made the eyes and nose and glued it on.I was able to use artistic license as there aren’t many pictures of the car that show all details. For the figures they are from race drivers. I scratch built the heads and all the other details. I'm not the best face painter. Sorry for the not-so-great pics. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Beautiful! I love the glass roof!

Thank you!

thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad I inspired you!

Very nice work! Man I love COE's and delivery vans also the '41 Chevy has the best grille ever!. This covers them all!

thanks for all your kind comments.

Nicely done! A perfect job on the interior, it looks real!

Thanks for the nice comments!

This is the third installment of Psyches Custom Psycles. I took a ’53 Ford delivery and cut out about an inch from the middle. Altered the frame and interior to fit. Scratch built the bumpers, door panels added the front grill from the Lincoln Futura, cut out and hinged the rear doors. Also used stained and sealed wooden coffee stirrers for the floor. The mini bikes are altered and somewhat scratch built. The paint is a color change green/brown over flat black. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Nice color! I like all the piecing.

Cool '32! I love those rear tires!

Nice work! You could fit lots of people in that wagon!

Thanks for your nice comments! They are much appreciated.

Thanks for the comments! It was a fun little build.

I had started a few builds a couple years ago, so I decided to finish them. One was the bike hauler I built using a broken electric stapler of which I posted earlier.I also started this one with The Beatnik Bandit. I love the BB!! I removed the middle section and added the indented side panels. I also re-designed the front and rear ends to reflect a teardrop. I used the seat and door panels from the BB. I used the engine scoops from Grandpa Munsters dragster and stuffed in a V6 . I added the headrest and exhaust pipes. Thanks to my wife naming it after a Praying Mantis we saw in the yard,.Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.Dave

Man this is nice! Great job. I love those tail lights.

thanks for your kind comments. I have another edition of Psyches Custom Psycles to post later.

I did three builds for my imagined bike shop - Psyches Custom Psycles and this is the second build. I started with a broken electric stapler I got from work. It had some nice lines and curves on it.I cut off some of the bottom of the stapler body and used an old resin 1950 Ford truck cab. Scratch built the frame, exhausts, sign, cut a rear door and hinged it, used stained, sealed wooden coffee stirrers for the bed floor. I had an old parts pak Triumph and scratch built the entire front forks with handlebars. Scratch built the seat, oil tank, exhausts. On the Panhead I scratch built the gas and oil tanks, rear fender and handle bars.I kept the theme of Psyches Custom Psycles from another build I did a few years ago. The truck was very challenging but no where near as difficult as the Triumph. The bikes are so small I needed 5x glasses. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.DaveThis is what the stapler looked like.

thanks to all of you for such nice comments! I really appreciate them. It was a fun and challenging build. I have a few more boat builds in my head.

Great work Pat - as usual! I love the new surf look! Dave

Once again - thank you for all your nice comments they are much appreciated!

Nice take on that sled! I wonder if that would fit in a standard garage?

Open top and you kept the fastback - nice touch!

Thanks again everyone for all your kind comments.
