Rat Fink sculpt

[Bigdad]

I found a picture on line the other day that I really like so I think I'm going to try to do a model of it. It has our finky friend in a deuce with Minnie Mouse and a very unhappy Micky running after them. I will be doing the car and figures in Sculpey. This is the picture, I will post a few progress pics when I get started.

I ca't wait to see this come together.

This should be interesting.

I always knew Minny was a cheating little Hood Rat ! LOL! this should be a great project !

[Nitrozilla]

Don't ask me why, but I'm okay with anything to do with Big Daddy Ed and his pals. We'll be watching and drooling.

Rom, they always go for the bad boys. Good thing, too. lol

Very cool. I like it. Long Live The Rat Fink!

I did my own version of the "Fink Eliminator" a couple of months ago I made the figure out of Sculpey. I'm a member of the Muncie modelers club and we had a theme for the August meeting. We were all going to build the same kit Revell's 62 Chevy Impala. I was not very happy about this choice so I did a little protest build. I think the Rat Fink is going to be a little bit more challenging though.

This is Big Daddy's art

This is my version

Well my experiment worked the Sculpey body is started I made a Styrofoam mold for the body wrapped it in aluminum foil and put the Sculpey on the mold. I still have to sand it and add the details like the trim and fire wall but it's a start.

I also have Rat Fink's head done here are some pictures.

I did a little more sculpting last night finished up the Rat's head and got started on Mickie and Minnie.

[Wagoneer81]

Insane, as usual, Roger! Your sculpting skills are truly first rate! I can't wait to see this one in person!

[Dragline]

Serious WOW factor on this work Roger!!

This goes waaay past modeling in my estimation.

I have an update, I'm using parts from a 1/18 scale die cast Deuce that I've had for a long time I have all of the parts ready except for the 1/10 scale engine I still have to get from my LHS. The figures are all finished except for Rat Fink's hands and some sanding and painting. I'm using the frame, front end, interior, wind shield and front wheels from the die cast. I may use the radiator cowl and head lights too. I made some big slicks out of Sculpey and I'm working on the body now. I'll post some more pics tomorrow.

[walt francis]

Wow !!!!!! really can't wait to see more of this done ......Great Job !!!

[Bigdad]

I finally got the engine in the Fink's Deuce I have run out of Sculpey so I have to get some before I can finish Rat Fink and start painting the car body and figures. I had to stretch the frame to get the motor to fit but it looks pretty good in there. I will post some pictures tomorrow.
