Well not 100% done .. BUT .... here's a few pics - Most of these pics are in progress pics I took to be able to spot crap to clean up or change - so these pics are all mixed up , showing various stages there is no order to these pics ... mocking up - pre- clean up & fixing screw ups - ( some a hell of a lot more crappy than others !!! the super detail of the camera helped me clean up stuff the naked eye couldn't see ..... Anyway - I wanted to finally get something on here - I'll take better pics when it is 100% complete !! - Features: Flake roof with Gold & copper leaf & airbrushed flames that were hand striped, AMT 58 Impala custom grill,scratched spoiler/flares. Chopped scale 5 1/2 inch roof. Opening/hinged side, back bottom doors (which may still end up the gold body color, not sure if the present 2 colors work , top rear has diamond window, rear roll pan licence shroud. Paint is various kandies over pearl white, custom mixed gold with tangerine kandy fog. Also, gold, copper & silver leaf with kandies over them was used for centre graphics. Airbrushed murals - drivers side is underwater scene, opposite side is Sci-Fi scene. Hand lettered "Vantastic" on front spoiler. Interior has bed lifts up to conceal LED wiring & switch ) , shag carpet,crushed red velvet, mirrors, working mini circuits tv/player, pink & cool white LED lighting, 58 Impala custom seats. It was fun, but I'm really ready to move on with much less involved & faster projects now !!!! <iframe width="320" style="border:0" height="240" border="0" src="https://private.fotki.com/Krazy-Rick/mm-banners/p8121354.html?iframe=1"></iframe>

Thanks Joe - I still have a shit load of clean up on some of the paint work & a bunch of little details to add/fix - but overall it's real close - the thing isn't glued together; so I can do a bit here and there .... in between other models

Didn't you have to take 7 buckets of assorted drugs to come up with that paint in the first place?
Neat job by the way!

FANTASTIC BUILD Rick! Wow, true 'shaggin' wagon' beautifully detailed and period correct. Gotta go and see this in person soon.
Some great work on all that airbrushing, difficult to comprehend how you did that, tough to get my mind around.

Thanks Duke - I really unleashed on this one - and am still planning a few changes - I really had no plan, I just wanted to go nuts on it & see where it took me..... as soon as I know where that is - you'll be the first to know
