Some projects on my bench

Jeff, thanks for posting a direct link to that section. I think I'll just purchase cast bodies from people who are good at it, lol. That looks like a whole new hobby all by itself.

I'll probably get into it later, but right now I'm working on making these tiny toy cars fast. One of my daughters just bought a 3D printer, so I'm messing with that some now.

Wicked black pearl looks nice.  Been wondering how it would look, applied on a body.

A few pics of this one before it gets boxed up and sent out to Skillet's Summer Slam... This is one of Adam's (pennywise) castings. I have another that I have not started on yet, but soon. Anyway, I was waiting for this one to talk to me. It did. My wife and I were talking about her next round of scans, and for some reason the Gremlin popped into my head. Fighting Gremlins. Survivor. My wife is a two-time cancer survivor. Melanoma, and Lung. Driver's door has the black ribbon for melanoma, and the pearl white ribbon for lung cancer. The passenger door has two pink breast cancer ribbons, for my mom and one of my aunts. Both breast cancer survivors. The rear window has a small blue ribbon for my best friend when we were kids. He didn't win his fight with colon cancer, but he never stopped fighting his Gremlin. I'm sure I won't win the race, but I'm hoping for a good showing, anyway.

And may your scans always be clear! My bride just had her annual scan last month. All clear. 10 years out for the melanoma, 5 years out for the lung.

I picked up this plastic body die-cast at a flea market a few weeks ago. Perfect for a long wheelbase 4gear, or possibly a DR1. Not sure yet. I did have to shave the rockers down a bit for clearance. Inner structure was perfect for the front pin, and the rear inner had plenty of material to carve out for the rear cradle. Should be pretty cool. 2nd Pic does have rear wheels & tires in place, front is sitting on the skis. More on this one after I decide on a chassis.
