Well look at this lil buggy/buddy.


Back in the day, the early 90's, I vaguely remember having some Micro Machines. These small toy vehicles you could buy packs of. This memory came back to me at random and I started looking on E-Bay to see what was out there. It's wild but I have to speed this up haha. Fast forward and here we are, I have a pack of Micro Machines and an idea.

The vision came together quickly. It will be a fun change to paint something that isn't combat oriented and I can easily see the potential for the car being suspended on a plume of jet. I headed to the kitchen to micro wave some plasicard...

It was dipped in hot water and bent to shape. I also wanted to get some color swatches involved in the form of a painted backdrop. This will add to the elevated look and just make things much cooler in general.

The plume of smoke took a while to come together, I'm not a good sculptor but the white glue really did some work for me. Next up I'll be painting this in a video, I'm going bright!

Cheers,
-Sam

Great idea! Really curious how it will turn out in the end... reminds me a bit of the ground vehicle from Mass Effect... some planets or spacy things in back... love it already! 😁

Awesome little idea! Man, I forgot all about those! I had loads of them back in the day.
