Foxer Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 While he's passed out I gotta say this.. This is a piece of art!
Rider Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 CB this is going down in my memory as one of the craziest and entertaining builds I've ever witnessed. Good on ya, really looking forward to seeing ya finish Mr. S up.
CB Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 Well sirs, now ol' Mr SKWILRLS aint just talkin' in me head, he be showin' me things as well! (ether dat, or I needs to check me shroooooms ) I's purty sure I aint seein' things that aint there, but not too longo go I was walkin' past the bench and Mr SKWILRLS and him driver were's there! Hmmm...aint really what I thought he'd look like, but Herr SKQWILRL said to get me a goodly gander so's I could starts the buildem up of him driver dude, so real quick like I grabbed my camera, set it on X-ray and took a shot..... ....and got us a goodly skully image for to start construcktion of dat clown for Mr SKWIRQLS. Took hims X-ray and scanned it into me compurter and drewd up some plans.... Did notice Mr SWQURLS driver didn't aint got no brain-- at least it didn't show up on the X-ray, but we's got us a patteren and time to be carvin', sculptin', and slinging some paper mache over some claydoughs
Bernard Kron Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 With all the months that have gone by buried in the super-detailing of the engine, chassis, wheels, etc., I betcha there's plenty of folks who forgot about The Driver. Looking forward to the sculpting and the painting and the.... Oh heck - Let the games begin!!!
CB Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 WHOA! The Ledster musta had him some gooooooooood cookies! Yep, Led, things're either gettin' better with ol' Mr SKWILRLS now dat I be Frankensteinyin' him a driver dude-- or I just be morphin' meself into the buildem up . Ya'll be doin' like ol' Ledster done tole ya-- I gots to keep my hands on the job
Bernard Kron Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I'm really lookin' forward to the rest of this, now. It's the full meal deal!
Tony T Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I was wondering when the driver would make an appearance! Awesome! I'm having a seatbelt installed on my computer chair...
Rider Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 This is getting very interesting. Mr. Skwirly is going to need his own blog soon. The driver looks like he could be "Carrot Tops" crazy Dad., lol
Tony T Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Good point. Maybe a rollcage for the computer desk is in order.
CB Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Went shopping as per Mr SKWILRLS 'structions and got us some supplies for hims driver dude I figured I'd give the poor feller a brain and a shave He started gettin' to be lookin' purty uglies but we soldiered on and.......oooh He done got way too ughly-- so I just had to walk away for awhiles When I got back-- YIKES! Apparently he's just as bad as ol' Mr SLWKIRLS and tooked him a lil' ol' hisssyfits and blowed his top! Oh well...... back to the drawing bored Think we'll try us some wood for Herr Drivers' skull
george 53 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Holy Shamoly Capn, looks like da sqwoil dun took on a life of 'is own!!!! Ya better be havin some Holy Shamoly water 'round ta keep them demons at bay!!! Man, wat's goin on with the FrankieMerc??? If THESE 2 start runnin together you MAY be in for a Worl' o' HURT!!!!
Eshaver Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I think we need to take up a petition to have C B go on tour as the re-incarnated C B ROTH !!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver
CB Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 Ya better be havin some Holy Shamoly water 'round ta keep them demons at bay!!! Oh yeah George! Them demons keep tryin' ta trip me up, but I just keeps prayin' and tryin' to do the right thing. My prayers are answered, and I makes it thru OK thanks to Jesus. (Don't be tellin' nobody, but ol' Mr SKWIRLS, and now Herr Gunthar the Clown driver, aint got the smarts to be demons, so I's kinda safe thereabouts ) Andyhows, I done went back at the drawing boared and picked a better line to be following fer a buck fer Herr Gunthar's head Made a template, and layed out some slices of wood for to glue Herr Gunthar's skull up at the proper like thickness (he be just as thick-headed as ol' Mr SWKIRLS ) Got them skull slices all scrolled out...... ...gathered everthing togehter..... ....applied a genenreous amount of Elmer's brain goo ta each slice.... ....and clamped 'em up. After letting the brain goo set up, the trick will be in removing all the extra wood so's Herr Gunthar's skull buck will be left. Hopefuellie carving out his skull will go welly and then we'll be puttin' paper mache over top of the buck for his 'skin'-- kinda like a puppet head. We shall see what happens
lonewolf01 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 hey cb you might want to use some of that holy shamolie water to keep the termites away
george 53 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 "Puppit Hed" I LIKESES dat! Can I use it as a NEW werd ta decribe alla thick hedded folks I be knowin??? Caz I KNOWS ALLOT O' em!!! Don't tell O'l Gunthar wat ya be callin him,caz he MIGHT get preturbed atttcha! Like I sed, Ifn hims an ol Frankiemurc team up, HOOOOO EEEE it'll be a hot time inna ol town tonite!!!! Lookin good though, caz I allus likeses ta see jus how yer mind works (or don't) wen yur doin this nutty stuff!!!
CB Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Finally got ol' Gunthar's blockhead outa the clamp... ...and spended some time contrimplating our next steps After a few minutes of serieous like contrimplatin' I was ready ta go. Layed out some red lines for to be whackin' excess woods away from Herr Gunthar's noggin. First stop were's ol' Jimmy's bandsaw-- got it fired up and did some slicing... ...then were's time fer them really cool sharp things Gunthar was kinda afeard to do anything-- he just sat still I was havin' a great time, slicin' & awhackin' on the clown ....and he sure be lookin' clowny like! I could only just take just so much of dat clown face, so's I wrapped 'im up with some heavy duty foil-- Now he looks like Gunthar the baked potater clown head! Times fer some more contrimplating......
Foxer Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I like the shape of Mr Potato head in da wood with the goo-goo-googly eyes!
george 53 Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Capt'n, Ya know, I DON'T REALLY think the ol "wrappin 'is head in foil so's he can't read yer mind" trick is gonna work! If I saw the movie correctly, Ya gotsta wrap YOUR head in foil! Try it, an get back ta me! Meanwhile, I'd be REAL careful like wit alla them SHARP objects you got layin 'round there!!!
Rider Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Alright CB this just keeps getting better and better. Now I can put a face to this wacky build.
Eshaver Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 George , Wrapping tape wont help this wild child ! I saw sanding sealer on the work bench ! I saw Chicken Noodle soup on the bench ! Do you have any idea what the long term effects are from the exposure to the solvents in those two chemicals are ? Dopn't you realize that is what the Russian Army tried to make Rocket propelliant out of ? Ed Shaver
