Dragline Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I started this and the Mongoose digger early last year [funny saying that]. I forget who i got the decals from but it was a vendor here. Dug it out las week to install the barrel valve and get cracking on the fuel pump. Got the motors hoses done but I cannot locate the pump. I may have to make another.Plumbed the brakes and got a few other things done. Whoever made the decals did a nice job as they are spot on. The starter tree decals are especially nice. The ones in the box would have you paint the tree a dark color which is not correct. I have another correct set from the Mongoose sheet. If anyone needs them i can send them along free of charge. Motor is shaping up I'm thinking a starting line diorama since the elements are just about all here. Perhaps some other goodies from SMBC to set the whole thing off. Thanks for looking. Updates as i get things done Bob

bytownshaker Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Awesome job Bob!! the car looks amazing. Edgar
PappyD340 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Looks FANTASTIC Bob!! very NICE detail, I think I see a big race in the future, but please tell me that you're not going with the headless driver theme
Dragline Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 LOL!! Larry... The headless theme was not on the table. I'm having a heck of a time painting the stripes on the helmet. I may have to use decal stock cut to the appropriate shapes. I have made a few go's with the paint brush and they were less than stellar. The Snake has red and blue stripes as you know and they are also wavy. Plus there is a 3/4 round with the snake in it in the very front. The decal sheet has the mini snake but nothing else, so it all must be either hand done or the way I'm thinking with decal stock. Bob
