spencer1984 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Trying to eke out a couple of late WIPs before the end of the year, and just got this one finished. It started as Revell's Custom Cadillac Lowrider. Four-door conversion, all-new front clip, modified trunk and rear bumper, custom seats, scratch built door panels, modified dash, and some junk in the trunk. A full writeup of what went into it is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome. Trunk details include the spare, some Lard Lad donut boxes, Duff Beer, Buzz Cola, and an errant piece of fuel rod made from a glow-in-the-dark toy part. A group shot with the other "The [Family]" cartoon cars I've done: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyc Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I have the Hotwheels version of Simpsons and Jetsons here in my office. No Fintsone mobile, though. Nice models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Love it! You done a great job replicating the car. Turning real world cars into cartoon cars is very hard to pull off without looking like just another car, but your build is instantly recognisable! Very well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Fintsone mobile, though. I think the Jetsons car my be the only one of those I have in diecast. The First Edition/New Models series Hot Wheels did from 1997 to 2012 were the only ones I actually searched for, anything else was "if I happen to see it in the store..."

The Homer is definitely going to happen, I have the PL kit that I started way back. Likely the Canyonero, too, but I was hoping to start with Lindberg's 1/20 Ford Explorer for that one so it looks properly ginormous next to the other cars. Now I just need to find one at a reasonable price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
