Rat Fink sculpt
I found a picture on line yesterday that I really like so I think I'm going to try to do a model of it. It has our finky friend in a deuce with Mini Mouse and a very unhappy Micky running after them. This is the picture. I will post a few pics when I get started.

FINKENSTEIN ...that will be to cool! Please send progress photos as you go. I am in awe of anyone that can sculpt ...I've tried and tried but just can't do it. That's a great photo too ...artist Johnny Crap does same amzing stuff himself.

Will do Weldon, I was thinking about useing the body from a 1/18 scale diecast deuce that I have but I decided I want to do the car in the style of the old kits like "Mother's Worry". So I'm going to do the car body, tires and all three figures in Sculpey. I'll scratch build the frame and use a 1/10 scale blown hemi model kit engine for it. I have started a styrofoam mold to sculpt the 32 deuce body on after I get it into the rough shape I'll cover it in aluminum foil and apply the Sculpey to it. Then I'll bake it and the body will be ready. I will post some pics when the body is done.

Well my experiment worked the Sculpey body is started I made a Styrofoam mold for the body wrapped it in aluminum foil and put the Sculpey on the mold. I still have to sand it and add the details like the trim and fire wall but it's a start.
I also have Rat Fink's head done here are some pictures.

Hi Weldon
I'm useing parts from a 1/18 scale diecast Deuce that I've had for a long time I have all of the parts ready except for the 1/10 scale engine. I measured the car with the figures in it and it stands 7 inches tall and 8 1/2 long. The figures are all finished except for Rat Fink's hands and some sanding and painting. I'm useing the frame, front end, interior, wind shield and front wheels from the diecast. I may use the radiator cowl and head lights too. I made some huge slicks out of Sculpey and I'm working on the body now. I'll post some more pics tomorrow.
