#1

I don’t have alot of spare parts lying around, so I started out by going to the family dollar store and got a small battery operated truck. I am trying my hand at building a small Inspecter car.

I began by tearing the truck apart. I found some wheels from a new bright box car I had.

I started out with the body. I had some styrene and brass wire I used for the seat bases.

The seats were made of magic sculp. The lantern was made using the plans from a back issue from GR 1994. However, instead of using the rivet they used; I used a red fauceted bead so it looks like red glass.

So here is what I came up with for the finished car. The conductor is a young Indiana Jones figure with some more magic sculp added to him and then painted.

#2
