Deconstruction Works I

As mentioned previously, I was trying to overcome some sort of creative block, that origined from a severe case of analysis paralysis. 
To stop piling up more and more WIPs and to get back to my roots in this hobby I decided to do a few quick and dirty projects. 




The car is supposed to be part of a street race beginner team.

This was a totally different approach. It's a wild Frankenstein kind of vehicle. No two parts of it came from the same source.

The body is from a Matchbox roller, the chassis from a Hot Wheels dune buggy. Engine and roll cage came from the bits box. So did the grille, that probably belonged to a Maisto hot rod.

The whole thing is put together rather crudely, without an interior of any kind, and some massive gaping holes. But I decided, I didn't care about that.

I am actually quite fond of the hot rod shape I managed to get. And it was a blast to build.

The difficult part will be finding a partner that fits in aesthetic and is an equally wild mix.

I freehanded the hazard stripes. I did have a stencil ready, I just didn't want to waste time on figuring how to use it on the curved shapes

Half a barrel from the IoC sprue. Making a kind of ram, holding the front axle in place and a desing nod to its origins as a roller machine
