it's a tiki statue with long hair-it was hard for me to paint details in the space i had to work in so it's not the best

that is smooth as silk -wow

cool mini

cool build

The idea for this model came from custom parts in Monogram's '58 Thunderbird where the grille reminded me of a tiki statue with the headlights as eyes. A partial list of the modifications includes: dechromed some parts for paint cut out the trunk removed the rear seat and reversed it for watching sunsets and surfing cut the roofline at the C pillar to match the door panels handpainted all of the wood grain and graphics handcarved the tiki shifter from a sprue painted the bamboo seat inserts used drawer liner material as the carpet painted the body with Testor's Icy Blue and White Lightning all of the graphics were painted with Testor's acryl I'd still like to create a matching surfboard to go with the model. I had a few issues with the camera, so the pictures aren't the best quality. I hope you can enjoy it just the same. Comments are welcome!
