wisdonm Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Several people have asked where I got the Plastic Jesus and Madonna that I used in my Unsafe @ Any Speed build. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68807&hl= Here is how I did it: They are modified Z scale railroad figures. They make good hula girls and tikis also. 1. I glue on a base. These were two layers of 0.0145" styrene. 2. Reshape or add arms. 3. I used CA to make the robe arms and fill in between legs, or glue on brush bristles, to make grass skirt. 4. Paint as desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfins59 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I can go a hundred miles an hour as long as I've got the almighty power glued up there by my pair of fuzzy dice...!!! I used to LOVE listening to Don Imus.... Imus in the Morning... he and his buddy Charles McCord... He was one irreverent SOB, but VERY funny.
