When I first saw this mold it just screamed to me, ZZ Top. So I decided to make a custom ZZ Top car and I named him Eliminator. He was a straight up repaint. I cleaned him and then primed the figure in white. I then air brushed Racer Red over that. His Exhaust, bumpers and grill were done in chrome. Unfortunately the chrome dulled as soon as it was clear coated. So here he is. I hope you like him. C&C welcome.

Nice! What decal you used for the side doors?

 

  I had the ZZ Top Model kit of this car when I was a kid.
Great work man.

 

The decal was made from pics of the car I found online.

 

Yeah, that mold totally said ZZ Top to me too! You should make a detachable beard for him, lol!

 

Agreed!

 

I was waiting for someone to do this, nice job. You should make a hat and a fuzzy guitar for him.

 

Now that a "Sharp dressed man"

 

Yup... this repaint was inevitable. Thought about doing it myself, but my plate is already full of other stuff.

Nice job!

 

Nice! I thought the same thing when I saw that guy! Originally I was thinking a foldable-cloth beard would be good, but when Kryptokron suggested a detachable beard I thought of an idea that you might try: detachable beard that converts to a weapon! I'd like to see that!

 

Fracking sweet. way to go

 

I thought about that but I'm not Sure ho'd I go about it.

I'm working on the quitar and I might make a hat.

That song was stuck in my head every time I was working on him. LOL 

Thanks

I usually try to take it apart or mask it area off. Unfortunately The from grill section in held on with a peg that I was unable to get off. I may still rechrome him. Thanks for the kind words.

That's a good idea I will try and keep that in mind. Not sure how to pull it off though.

Thank you very much.
