A.R.K. (Alien Rat Killer) Update

[GrandpaMcGurk]

Lots more to do....but it's getting there.

Here's some eye candy -

Crushed '65 Chebie Impala

750 HP turbine engine

Quad M-60 belt fed machine guns

Rocket tubes

'57 Caddy Eldorado Brougham body

Alien Rat and his hairy combat vehicle....hope to have this "Toon Car" under glass before the end of Ira's contest.

You've made my day with this build. I am smiling and loving the scene. Great details to look at all over this build. Thank you.

Love everything about it... but I just can't get enough of those wide whitewall tractor tires.

Thats wild !

Thanks Doc...I'm pleased it's bringing you a grin.

I feel (at times) folks tend to stereotype "Toon or Theme" cars as why bother builds that don't have a place in the model building community.

Kinda like Donks, Edsels, die casts & snap kits, hee, hee.

Actually I have an ulterior motive with this one...it's got plenty of detail, it's reasonably to scale and a ball to build.

In my mind (what little I have left) modeling is 'posed to be enjoyable and relaxing.

It really doesn't trouble me much if no one likes it.....I figure if someone does, they can make up their own story to go with it......in other words, model car building (to me) is whatever blows my skirt up.

Once again, thanks for the kudos.
