Nosferatu Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The Black Widow I recently dug this one out of a moving box that I built several years ago. I started with Big Daddy Roth’s Beatnik Bandit. I removed the front fenders. I then scratch built the front grill housing, headlights and added the grill. I also made the rear tail lights from red sprue, which I sanded and polished. The seats came from the Lil Coffin and the dash from the Ice Cream Truck. The tires, wheels, engine and exhaust came from the parts box. Painted rattlecan black and lacquered. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. I am open for suggestions on how to remove the dust. I had just cleaned the model before I took the pics. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70 Sting Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 That looks especially cool from the rear. 😎 Tamiya makes an anti static brush which should help with the dust. Can be used before painting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 A very nice take on an old kit. Your build completely changes the flavor of the original, and it does so in a very good way. This stands on its own as a unique custom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 model citizen Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Very nice, creative build. I hate dust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I like it better than Roth's original. But then again, the only one of his I liked is Tweedy Pie. So there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
