Nosferatu Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I've always loved this car and have been thinking about building it.I got a box of gluebomb planes from a show and found one to use.I traced it out and cut it up. I widened the body and added material.There are only about 5 or 6 angles of the car and none of a rear view. It is mostly scratched build from a plane fuselage. I made the fenders. The catface is made from a type of sculptee. I rolled it real thin and my wife drew the shape. I cut it out and formed it over the head of a duck decoy as it had the best shape then painted it. I also made the eyes and nose and glued it on.I was able to use artistic license as there aren’t many pictures of the car that show all details. For the figures they are from race drivers. I scratch built the heads and all the other details. I'm not the best face painter. Sorry for the not-so-great pics. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
