I finished painting a couple of these Creatures this week too. One's on ebay and the other is a birthday gift for my best friend and striper buddy Joey Delux. Ijust bought a kick-*** metal ad sign off ebay from the Creature from the Black Lagoon movie to display with it. I handpainted the clackboard on Joeys with "Kreature from the Kustom Lagoon". These things would look kol on your dashboard or top of the TV!


Tossed some rainbow flake in the mix.....

 

Hot damn, that gumball machine is *****in!!! I have been fiddling with a Rat Fink themed machine for like 2 yrs., need to finish it. I just picked up another machine at an antique show too! I bought a ton of those plastic capsules off ebay, and I had a buddy resin cast a ****load of old-school rat finks off some of my originals. I want to fill it with them, but not sell them! It's art! Don't touch it! LOL! Here it is so far....
Lot's more black-line work to do on it.....



Thanks for the inspiration Jerry Reed!

Don't know. Electrician buddy of mine is supposed to come over Sunday to run some pvc to the garage. Not sure about the rest of the weekend.

 

An On Topic original heat wrench

 

Great show all! Need to see if my buddies in New Zealand are okay.
Here's a quick one I just did before I hit the bricks...

"Bucket O'Bolts" or "OH, ****!"

 

Awesome FAS as usual,there are some very talented people here.

I guess if they had a beginners section this is where you would be seeing my contribution today. Ive loved traditional pinstriping,I tried it years ago and just couldnt handle the brush or the paint. This time I did a little research and got some better supplies and it went alittle better. The ammo box was the first thing Ive ever pinstriped and the bottle was the second. I guess I better go practice,practice,practice.

 

Something from SanDiegoJoey (6 year old)

 

Thanks Man

Your kid has more talent than I do!
