Hello, Hello, I just finished building and painting Ed Roths "Mothers Worry" by Revell. I tried to respect the original and stay as faithful to the actual kit as possible, but I altered some of it anyhow. The changes I made: - added a scratch built distributor - added plugwires - added gas tank cap - scratchbuilt the floor out of wooden sticks - scratch built the 8-ball - replaced the shifter and steering collumn with wires - added carb stacks - turned rope steering wheel as the original kit part was just a horrible crooket element. - swapped the legs of the fly with thin wire - opted for real furr instead of the hair element - added numberplate - added the Alter Boys club plaque The paintwork on the car itself is based on a T-Bucket racer built for this years Annual Race of Gentlemen in Wilwood, the "Sachem Special". Body was painted with a rattle can, the numbers, names and the indian chief were painted on freehand. The figure was painted almost exclusivley with acrylics, using black oil for very few washes around the mouth and heavy coats of high gloss nail polish on the eyes and in the mouth. The Hair was glued on with transparent laquer. The shirt is the same checkers as the shirt from Curt in American Graffitti. Enjoy!
