Always happy to lend a helping hand!!!! :thumbsup:

NICE! Those one-eyed creatures will definitely make it a Bob Rod (play on Rat Rod)!! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for his passengers!

PD2:thumbsup:

I took a gray dude and did some changing around a little bit. The Oracle (a character from a older Ghost Rider comic book) on the left started out as the gray guy on the right.

This Oracle Muscle Bound guy is going to be driving Eds 46 Ford from the passengers seat. Had to break his arm to make this happen and he only let out a little screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam!

Now I need to pick out a couple other figures to fill up the rear with more action! :roll:

Bob...keeping it fun...zilla

Bob, Are you on medication??? Do you need medication??? RM

Creepy! I guess Mr. Eyeball would wear an open faced helmet? Just wondering.....
How does he eat?
Can he see further than we can?
Night vision?

I'm going to have bad dreams about this
Rich

yes
osmosis
yes
of course

Now go back to sleep Rich....things will look better in the AM...pleasant dreams!

UM I hate to point this out ...but , Mr. Eyeball has no ears and when he gets older how will he wear glasses? huh ? HMMMMM? I know, contacts but it doessn't look like he has eye lids either. I have way too much time on my hands when I begin wondering about little plastic monsters ! LOL

You Eyeballin' me son? I'll hit ya with my stick! :D

Bob, those guys are cool!

Man, didn't you hear?? Under the next presidential administration, all single eyed plastic monsters qualify for free healthcare!!! :freak: When ole one eye starts driving a cataract (pun intended) instead of a droptop chebby he can go get free laser surgery!! No glasses needed!!! Jeeez, don't ya watch the news??? :tongue:

UtherJoe

You Eyeballin' me son? I'll hit ya with my stick! :D

Bob, those guys are cool!

Joez,

You read Ghost Rider too? That is what they did to him in the New Ghost Rider when they brought him back. He was part of a 4 man bad guy team and Ghost Rider just picked up a board with some nails in it and smacked him in the face. :drunk:

After that he just kinda walked around for a few pages with the board stuck in his big eye....it was Funny as Hell. Some Evil Villain the Oracle turned out to be...hahahahahha

I will have to find that issue and post up a picture of it here.

Don't think they would be called glasses...just glass? Like not contacts but, contact? I'd like to know how he goes to the bathroom as I cut him in half from the waist up. Hilltop you have a very good question...no I don't..do I need some? That is the question isn't it...lol

Osmosis

If two solutions of different concentration are separated by a semi-permeable membrane which is permeable to to the smaller solvent molecules but not to the larger solute molecules, then the solvent will tend to diffuse across the membrane from the less concentrated to the more concentrated solution. This process is called osmosis.

Osmosis is of great importance in biological processes where the solvent is water. The transport of water and other molecules across biological membranes is essential to many processes in living organisms. The energy which drives the process is usually discussed in terms of osmotic pressure.


Bob...Don't know how he eats Rich even after Bills Osmosis explination???...zilla

You will all be assimilated...resistance is futile!

Osmosis: How brittle cars are re-vitalized here at Murdel Mutlery Bob! Same dealio...solvent (Goop) moving across a semi permeable membrane (the body). Put enough solvent on a brittle body and it will "wick" it all throughout making it all pliable and new feeling. If ya put just enough solvent on an old tan or grey body it will get all rubbery....just before it turns to goop.

LOL! I was lousy in Chem and it WAS a hundred years ago. Call it what you will when old one eye gets hungry, be assured you will be absorbed! I would become worried when he hoses ya down with solvent and sits on ya.

Man, didn't you hear?? Under the next presidential administration, all single eyed plastic monsters qualify for free healthcare!!! :freak: When ole one eye starts driving a cataract (pun intended) instead of a droptop chebby he can go get free laser surgery!! No glasses needed!!! Jeeez, don't ya watch the news??? :tongue:

UtherJoe

ROFLMAO ! Slotcarman it looks like we both have way too much time on our hands ! LOL

Well I was wrong about this guy being called the Oracle...duh he is the Orb and watch out because, he will shoot you with his Repulsor. As soon as he pulls that board with nails out of his eye. hahahhahahaha

Ghost Rider Comics are not generally funny in nature but, this episode just cracked me up as there are more pics of the Orb throughout this MARVEL #26 issue of him just bending over in pain with the board still stuck in his eye. Some evil villain he turned out to be. My Guess is that the Orb won't be making an appearance again for some time after this. It was nice to see them bring him back as a complete looser tough...lolololololoolol

Being originated from older Ghost Rider Comics the Orb looks very Evil Knievel looking and is often seen riding a motorcycle in the original Ghost Rider comic books from waaaaay back when.

Have been fighting off the sickies and hope that now I am going to be able to start getting some projects finished up and posted here very soon so, stay tuned...

Ghost Rider comics are the only ones I read mainly. Flames shooting off a skulled motorcycle driver just hit a spot in my brain that says yeah baby!

Bob...have lots of Ghost Rider Comics...zilla

Feeling beter today so the "Bob...zilla Workshop Show" is back on track now.

This ND MAN 55 for Nuther Dave just needs some future to seal in the decals now. Yeah I know that the hood doesn't have a hoodscoop...oh man! Dave can either leave it as is or put one on himself. I just couldn't come up with anything for it so, this is how it ends.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aahitch5.jpg

Teeny Tiney Decals on a teeny Tiney slot body. Was thinking of making a ZILLA version of this on a green 55 body. Maybe someday?

Bob...Hope you like this Dave...zilla

Looks kick-a.... great! :)

Check your PMs. ;)

Uh, since it's an ND MAN Chevy, instead of a BAD MAN, the scoop really don't matter. I'm like Mack Truck from the J & B show, "That's just my opinion, ought'a be yours". Yellow with black letters nad red tint, I likes it Ooooooooooh yeaaaaaaaaa:thumbsup: :thumbsup: !!! RM

I'm with Randy....fight the impulse Zilla....she's mighty fine without the scoop!

Glad to hear you are better...howz about yer clan?

Scoop? She don' need no stinkin' scoops! She be mighty fine as is. :thumbsup:

I'm with ^^^^ those guys.. Of course, that's just us. While a scoop would look great on there, that would make it ordinary... regular run of the mill..everyones got one... The lack of, makes it different... Save the scoops for the ice cream..

UtherJoe

scoops are for kids....i like that sleeper look.....

Zilla,Wasn't it Father Flanagan from Boy's Town who said"There is no such thing as a bad 55"

Bob you did a great job on that 55 !

GREAT LOOKING 55!!! I had a 1/24 model of that as a kid :D

GREAT LOOKING 55!!! I had a 1/24 model of that as a kid :D

Aw cmon now, it couldn't have been a ND MAN . It had to be the Bad Man ! I had that one too great kit

Fantastic work as always Bob'O! I love the clean lines on the '55, generally speaking. No big fancy fins - just mean speed lines. Great job bro!

Keep yourself well - we have only just begun winter!

PD2:thumbsup:

Zilla,Wasn't it Father Flanagan from Boy's Town who said"There is no such thing as a bad 55"

Tom,

Well I bet he did but, I would have to drive down there real quick to confirm that. You know that for a while they renamed it Girls & Boys Town but, recently changed it back to Boy's Town. They still have girls but, I think the New name confused people from the original one a bit?

Well one last picture of this all Futured up and mounted on its chassis. I think I need to Future all my MM 55s now as it realy brings out the color and makes the windows clear-er & shinney.

Future realy adds to the finished look of a slot car decaled up body and it protects anthing from happening to the decals. Sometimes it is hard to get a picture of a Futured body to look like it does in real life. The shine is so nice it just causes a glare from the light.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aaman1.jpg

Well I didn't buy this one but, it was done real nicely. This is the BADMAN version...lol

They didn't scrape any chrome or paint off when they glued it all together. That is my job now.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aaman8.jpg

Thanks everyone for the compliments. It was fun to build and now it is out of here.

Bob...Back to the 64 in a bit...zilla

Here is a picture showing how I drill and post people in my rides. The red post (plastic coated wire) is gooped in and the hole is drilled in the seat. Then the post is put in the hole to see how much the post needs to be cut down as to not interfere with any chassis moving parts.

Wait for the goop to dry between steps and it is important to have plastic exposed areas (scrape paint) for the goop to bond and hold correctly. Plastic to plastic is the way it holds. Chrome must be scraped also to expose plastic before gooping in place.

Installing the Orb: First put just a dab of goop on the post to allow the bond from inside the hole as well as bottom side with a second application for this.

Now what to do with the rear seating arrangements?

Bob...This ain't no backseat driver...zilla

I don't what is possessing me to suggest this, but wouldn't the "garden gnome" look pretty interesting back there?? Without the birdbath, of course!! He's roamed pretty much everywhere else...

It's not the Future.... it's the skill, thought, and heart that you put into your builds. :thumbsup::thumbsup: This is one of your best and will be one of mine. I will park it in the VIP lot at Land Ho Raceway.

Nuther... thanks for thinking of me.... Dave !!!!!!

Nuther... thanks for thinking of me.... Dave !!!!!!

Learned from you and other Hobby Talkers like you, back when I first joined up, that people are more important than fame and fortune.

Building custom slot cars is now my passion only because, people here make it fun! If this fun ever stops for me I will just poke my eyes out with used toilet paper rolls and wear pink foamy curlers in my hair...not realy but, something like that.

Bob...Nuther your are a VIF (very important friend) all the way...zilla

Uther Joe,

I have this gnome and it would be right at home in the back to roam.

Not in a bird bath or with a giraffe or sitting on a small calf.

OK so meybbee you're nuts butz, so am eye...lol :eek:

Bob...you solved my slot car builders block...zilla

BOB ! I thought originally the 46 Ford would be ruined with people inside it ( just a personel preference) But the Orb guy looks so cool ,that I can't wait to see it finished now ! Glad you didn't scoop the 55 it looks better with out it ! Build on buddy

Scottd961,

You have me thinking now. I don't want overkill but, I do want this to have a theme of Horror for my good friend Ed.

Uther Joe put up a picture of the gnome which got cut, posted and permanently mounted tonight. Thank you man! :)

O.K. so here goes...Can you guys (ladies welcome also) lol help me decide if the gnome is good by itself or does the gal with the head on plate (not mounted in yet) stay?

These ho Horror Clix figures are of the smaller size as the larger ones wouldn't look to scale in this car so, don't realy have any others that would work out next to the gnome.

Want to finish this convertible off early this week and put a final coat of Future on so, it can get send out to Ed along with my Christmas car.

Please help me out here and give me an honest answer. Ed I will even consider your thoughts on this. :lol:

Bob...tell it like it is...zilla

Bob...tell it like it is...zilla :thumbsup:

Ok , Here it is ! Leave the Car just as it is ! Seriously ! Loving it totally Bob . Is it going to have a driver or is the Orb doing the steering from his side only? Glad the Orb had his eye surgery that board with the nail in it must have hurt , ALOT ! :wave:

Man that girl with the head on the platter and the Gnome holding the sheers behind her back puts this over the top ! LMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:thumbsup:

This is what EYE am talking about. Thanks for the input ScottD961 and would love to hear what everyone else thinks also. Thanks ALOT...LOL

Sometimes I can do something and look at it and wonder if it is right. Then come back the next day and it just makes sense. Like someone else did it.

Bob...The Orb has to drive now because, the driver lost his head...zilla

The gnome by itself does not make a lot of sense, especially since it already has blood on the shears. Putting the woman with the head on the plate brings the picture together and yes, if you add another person who is supposed to be in the drivers seat, but is headless, then that will totally complete what is going on in the horror convertible. I think it has come together very nicely Bob! Just complete the in-car-story and you should be good to go!

PD2:thumbsup:

The gnome prolly thinks that it's great...
To find himself out on a date..
The head on the platter..
To him would not matter..
As long as that wasn't his fate...:eek:

I think old gnomey could use a little social activity. And his gal is looking pretty hot!! I'm sure the chapperone will have no problem keeping an EYE on them!!! :lol:

They make a lovely couple, and I would never stand in the way of true love!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

A headless driver would complete the story.. If it'll fit. But I think at the next stoplight, orby will be getting a little trim off the top.. These two lovebirds need a little time alone!!!!

UtherJoe

like PD2 said, a headless driver would set it all up cool. But the car looked totally awesome without any monsters. BUT, now I like them monsters and want to do a build to race against it.......gonna be cool. But I gotta get my xmas trade car done first.

LOL ! Oh Man slotcarman you need to go outside and breethe in some cool fresh air buddy ,LOL That was one funny post , my gut hurts from laughing so hard.

Bob , yep it's looking awesome and a headless driver ...... Priceless !
Your package is on the way

PD2:thumbsup:

Ed agrees with you on the headless driver and I do also. Seems like everyone is in for the headless driver and UtherJoe is just cracking me up...RALMAO. One problem there is not a lot of room for a headless driver as UtherJoe kinda pointed out.

Just pushed the gal back a bit and now there is room for a skinney headless driver slumped over the drivers door with blood splatter also...Sweet Horror movie in a slot car build...YEAH!

Next time a white car is getting used. This is a fun one for sure! :D Boooohahahahahahahaah

I am going to put the gal in permanantly and then find a good parts donor for the driver. Thank you all again because, just didn't think a headless driver would fit.

Bob...This is almost a wrap...zilla

ALL RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see this !

Cool!! Yeah, it's like an instant horror flick in a slot car! Gotta love it!!

Glad we all could help Bob!

PD2:thumbsup:

I agree...needs a headless driver..... Bob...you really need to stop huffing paint.....zilla that is one awesome looking ride

Great carpool gang Bob. Gives a whole new meaning to "We're headed off to work!"

The mystery remains as to what really happened to the driver...

1. wont quit foolin with the radio
2. Continues to fart after being threatened repeatedly
3. wont get out of the bus lane

Too funny, Bill! I am still laughing!:D



Monster Squad 46 done yet, Bob? What did you finally decide for the seating arrangement??

You know this is the coolest raggy ever, right? (Ed is lucky) lol

Joez,

Bills #2 choice sounds like the right answer to me...Phfffffffffffffft ...lol

Last night we watched Wall-E but, before that I took a guy and cut his head off and removed some of his stomach, with an EXACTO knife to make him slumped over. Now it will be time to add some red stuff to his neck, drivers door & detail him out a bit.

I am going to finish this up this weekend and post pics of the finished 46 Ford next to the Kid Killer.

Bob...this is a first (cut head off :freak: and used the body) hahahaha...zilla

Welcome to another episode of the "Bob...zilla Workshop Show".

The driver for Eds 46 Ford has been drilled and posted and a hole in the drivers seat has also been drilled. The headless slumped over body is sitting in primer now waiting to get detail painted. Pictures will be posted soon when this thing is all done.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aanomadd2.jpg

This Nomad for "RC" was painted with Testors #2723 TURN SIGNAL AMBER METALLIC over a silver base coat. The #28004 TURN SIGNAL AMBER is what I used over a gold base coat to get the Orange used on my Hooters Shadow (not pictured here).

I used decal set to get the decals to set into the edges and form over any details. I love this stuff! Heck you can even see the rear tailgate keyhole detail from underneath the black stripe as it sucked right around it like it was painted on.

Here are some Sand Vans that are in the works right now also. XracerHo asked me if I could make up another Canadian Sand Van like the one done up for Coach. Sure and why not! While I'm at it decided to do a few others too. These decals were made just for these Sand Vans by Amy the decal gal to cover up the sun roof on top. First a piece of solid white decal sheet was laid down to keep the darker tint from showing through on the flag decals.

Awesome looking nomad Bob ! Love the color. Hey how come in the photo the two bottles of turn signal amber metallic are different shades? Just curious

Awesome looking nomad Bob ! Love the color. Hey how come in the photo the two bottles of turn signal amber metallic are different shades? Just curious

Yeah it is a fun Nomad to work on...still in progress. I could paint up Nomads all day long..............thanks for the compliment.

Testors makes 2 different colors of Turnsignal Amber #2723 which is a metalic and gives a sweet gold color when painted over a silver base coat & #28004 which gives a nice Transparent Orange look when painted over gold or silver (haven't painted it over silver yet).

Welcome Buddy, thanks for the info. I haven't bought any of the Model masters paint in years so I was surprised to see the two shades. Thanks again, Can't wait to see that 46 !
