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...

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.

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!

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!

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. D73FDD71-3C4D-4CFB-BC65-19371647A97C.thu
