I have built a couple of cartoon cars which became one of my favorite thing .. so thought I would drop in a few pictures to share..
Theses kits originally are from Deals Wheels kits.. Some of the features that were made as what was shown on the box were something I dont always like so I did some modifications to create different versions. Some are radical , some are similar to the box art but a few modifications.
Enjoy
GoMad gasser style, modified to a cool rod. The tires are from another kit painted with white colors inside to give a fifties look. The front bumper was taken from parts box trimmed and cut to fit. You may notice the chevrolet logo emblems.. this is actually a hat pin which saves me a lot of work.
cHevy gasser style, modified to a low rise rod, The emblem is from a hat pin also. Fender skirts from 1 12 scale 57 chevy, trimmed to fit. Added the flood light on sides.
Zzzz28 camaro. It had a long nose, decided to shortened the front and create an earlier version of baldwin motion camaro with a scratch built split bumpers.
Baja Humbug, it was a glue bomb and was rare before it became reissued recently.. it did have a driver but I decided to change to a tomcat as a character plus few modifications such as light on top, logo, antenna wire from broken guitar wires with a smiley face on top from broken kids toy beads dipped in yellow paint and added smiley face.
This is my most recent build.. I had the parts from salvage which is of Deals Wheels... only engine block , wheels and had headlight bezels and wheels from other kits. I completely scratch build the rest of the model. Knowing that the uncertain t model kits are rare and is hard to get. I decided to create one of my own and made it into a cartoon version.
There are more but will post some later.
