I was sorting through my photos trying to make some sense of it and realized that I had done some weird stuff over the years.  I thought some of you might enjoy seeing was the mind can do when left to it's own devices. This first one is a cross between an Alfa 155 and a Volvo wagon done as a panel delivery.

I was really feeling weird when I created this 6 wheel Honda NSX

This was a club theme night moon buggy done in Gulf colors.

This kit was a japanese kit that had a pull back mechanism.  I had some spare jagermeister decals hanging around so it seemed a natural.

I had just finished a 1:12 935 and had this just to brake up the stress of that build.  Yes, it is a Surfite, but with leftover decals and some extra Ferrari wheels.  I added the fender flares and used the surfboards for a spoiler.

This was a work of love!  I crossed an AMT Dodge Ram pickup with a Tamiya Ferrari Testa Rossa kit.  There is quite a history with this one!

Another club theme.  Junkyard parts.  I had the bits of a P-47 and the Honda F1 car so I mated them and painted it in AAR colors.

This one just stands on it's own!

My dad was a founding member of the "Black Cats" Squadron in WWII and this was a tribute to him.

Another strange one.  I chopped the top and made it into a Red Bull Promotional car.  The rims are turned from aluminum and Delron.

Yes, I like Red Bull(but have never even tasted it!) for the sports stuff they do.  There actually is a polished metal P-38 in the collection.

Ok, not many Air Force Ospreys out their so why not?

Perhaps some of the rest of you will show some of your strange stuff.

Fertile is such a tame adjective.  Awesome execution too!  The 6 wheel NSX just makes me want to do a Panther 6.

I've had rare cases of being weird.  Oldsboatbile inspired by the typical sagging springs look of certain GM cars.  What to do with two horrid kits, the Tamiya 1/48 scale Swedish S-tank, and the 1/24 Nitto Countach.

Here’s an odd one I was working on a while back, a chopped and section GMC A-Team Van channeled over 2 C-5 Vette chassis, Like Jay Leno’s ‘66 Olds  Toronado......just minus all the boost!

And my concept drawing for it.

Here is one I started a couple years ago, but decided it would be a long term project because of my developing vision of a finished project - a cabover Ranchero with "mega-horsepower" in the bed.  The custom front is from the 69 Corvair, the custom rear is from a '61 Ford Styline kit.  Tires will be from one of the AMT curbside :weird" kits, the tread is imprinted with AMT.

Seedy Speedster built from a Parakeet bird feeder and a Ferrari F40.

Tanks! (sic)  Since you live in Scotland, have to ask, do boat drivers sit on the "wrong" side there too, or are they on the left?

I have a WIP hidden deep in my stash, the Allison engine is a resin Replicas & Miniatures of MD of the AMT parts pack, and the Bugatti Royal, call it Bigatti.

They sit on the inside mate, the outside is a bit wet and they struggle to hold their breath that long, lol

Those are exactly what I was hoping to see with this thread.  Great fun and imagination!

My 6th grade teacher said I lacked imagination.  I guess she was right as this fantasy racing Club de Mer is about as wild as I got.  Pretty boring.

Very creative and fun stuff everyone! 

Now I just wish that people would not quote posts with lots of large photos, just to add "this is what I hoped for", or "nice stuff".  Come on, my finger is sore from spinning the scroll thumbwheel!!  Plus, I just saw all those photos few posts earlier!

Just like in the days of renting VHS tapes, remember "be kind, please rewind". :D  Be kind, don't quote long posts, just to add a 1-liner.

A lot of fun stuff. I especially like the egg Thunderbirds leaving the nest. But, in general all of the above are pretty cool. Keep on thinking out of the box.
