TooOld Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 While searching for something quick and easy I came across a box with several of those small Weird-Ohs figures that I had bought years ago and thought Digger might fit into a Li'l Red Baron , and that's how "Li'l Digger" was conceived . I modified the LRB by replacing the front axle and tires with parts from a Roarin' Rail with clear plastic wheels and I made decals for the spokes . The rear wheels are the LRB pieces with the centers replaced with Screamin' Vette centers , and the backs of the tires were blocked off and the shoulders rounded . The engine was pieced together from my parts stash . The figure was modified to fit and sprayed with DullCote then his helmet was repainted yellow and Digger's fingers were reshaped to better grab the shifter . By the way that shifter ball is a 10mm acrylic bead , I had to buy 250 of them so if anybody wants some let me know ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Not sure how I missed this one Bob. As usual you crushed it. Like others have said, you have an eye for design and color. Your models alway exhibit that thing that puts them over the top. This is no exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
