Claude you have done another masterpiece. I see the Studio is not resting. Totally cool and of course striking. Great job

Hi Bruce!

Thanks for the comments and encouragements. I must admit that while I'm not "resting", I'm getting a little "slower" at the bench. Oh well...

Beautiful. This is what scratch-building is all about. The model is superb in conception and flawlessly built, super clean!

Thank you Hank, much appreciated, since it's all made of leftover parts. Oh well...

Hi!

Since I do a lot of mashups and scratchbuilding, I obviously gather a lot of "leftovers" in my model junkyard. So...

Took the Topolino cab & grille + front wheels in the old AMT double dragster kit, the shortened chassis from Revell's 7-Eleven Fox Mustang funny car, assorted bits and pieces, and decals from the Mazmanian 69 Cuda FC. The rear wing is from the McDonald Top Fuel by Revell. The grille surround is made of a plastic cafeteria spoon! Paint is Tamya's bright red + fluorescent red + Valejo clear.

It's fun to watch spectators wonder "what kit is this, exactly" ? LOL. 

Hours of fun with styrene!

Definitely over the top, and 'frickn cool, you added all of the little details to put it in a class of its own.
