cpspoogie Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 I have a few of these with a bunch of extra parts, and thought why not put my spin on a classic? The head is from a toy bin, just modified it a bit with a Dremel. The rest of the mods are Miliput by hand. Progress continues...
cpspoogie Posted May 20, 2017 Author Posted May 20, 2017 Very cool !! I will be watching this build... thanks it's a lot of fun!
bigdrag1 Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Man, that`s looking really cool!! By the way, thats a pretty cool looking chair you have there....
cpspoogie Posted May 20, 2017 Author Posted May 20, 2017 Thanks! That's another recent project, a restoration of my Grandma's mid century modern lounger. It was a mess and it all done now.
cpspoogie Posted May 24, 2017 Author Posted May 24, 2017 Body 95% complete. Need to do eyes and teeth.
unclescott58 Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Interesting. I'll be looking in on this one soon again. I'm interested in seeing how this turns out.Scott
bisc63 Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Man-o-man, when I was a kid, just getting "good" at building models, I would drool over pics of this in the Revell flyers that were stuck in some kit boxes. I thought this was the absolute definition of cool, but alas, it was one of those that remained out of reach. I never saw one in person, and the one time mom came across the kit in a department store, she reported back with the devastating news that sickens every eleven year old kid," ...too expensive." So, I stuck to cars, Aurora dinosaurs, movie monsters, and the occasional airplane. I am loving seeing this come together, and am digging the modernizing/upgrading you are doing. Keep up the good work!
cpspoogie Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 Thanks very much all...I had to take a break for a few weeks due to health, but more to come soon!
bisc63 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 You say you have a bunch of parts of these...would you happen to have enough to cobble together another complete-or-nearly-complete trike? If so, would you be interested in trading on those parts? Or Selling? PM me if so. Thanks! And glad to hear you're back in the game!
cpspoogie Posted November 3, 2017 Author Posted November 3, 2017 Finished modification. Scratch built new handlebars to clear the new head, decided to go with a weathered and grimy look instead of shiny to look more menacing.
vintagedragcrazy Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Wow Chris that looks cool great job!!!!vince
