  1. A friend sent me four repop Weird-Oh kits and asked me to make one of my customs for him. So i took the S'Cool Bus and cut the top open, then used the heads and arms from each Weird-Oh kit and modified with clay and putty here and there.
  2. Had this old Monkeemobile kit and a racing boat canopy lying around and the wheels of the mind started turning. Made the driver and tentacles out of oven bake ckay and various other Kitbash parts for the wheel thrusters and engine.
  3. Thanks again, all! Dropped it in the mail today for him.
  4. Thanks all for the kind words. Im still learning and making lots of mistakes. This baby surely has its flaws and i shake very badly, as evidenced by the tail lights.
  5. Got a request from my old Navy buddy to recreate his first car. First pic is the original, second is my finished model right down to the HAT ROD license plate (his family are hatmakers in TX). Flared the fenders with Milliput.
  6. That last photo is pretty much done. I just have to build a new hinge for the back.
  7. Restoring this kit that suffered a fall from a shelf and was in pieces. It's motorized, and had been heavily glued in places so I had to saw it apart. Rebuilt part of the back bumper with Milliput and Bondo. Also one wiper was missing so I built one out of old tie rods and antenna pieces. Got it running and here's the progress!
  8. Can you post a pic of that motorcycle please?
  9. Thanks much for the info! I believe these are the originals because they're so thick. I've seen so many of these reissues that MPC and the rest of the companies sold out to China and they are horrific. So thin I couldn't even trim without going right into the piece. Again, thanks much! Chris
  10. Tim, do you have a pic of that motorcycle or know where to find it? I'm searching but don't see it. I have a bag of vintage motorcycle parts in 1/25 or 1/24 scale and I'm trying to pair them with kits. Thanks!
  11. Hi I've got a few standing and sitting figures from the original kit along with several guns, safe, Mail bag, crates with liquor bottles and violin cases. Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the value and if it would be wise to sell individually or as a lot. I know these are hard to find and not reissues. Any help is much appreciated! Chris
