That's what my idea is for—using one of the scale models of the speedboat I designed along with a custom figure—if there's another one of these contests (unless the rules forbid it).
 
THANKS BRUDDER!! I HAD THE IDEA IN MY HEAD SINCE I BROUGHT THE FIGURES. I TOLD LOVE I WAS GONNA DO IT. SHE WAS SURPRISED THAT I DID IT. QUEENFISH WILL GET A LAUGH OUT OF IT.

Der Baron und Ze Hound
Enough Farfegnugening around, here are ze final fotos.
This is what you get when you throw a kingfish into a partial Deals Wheels airplane model, an Atlantis Tom Daniel Lil Baron car model, a Red Skull action figure, and a MickyDs Happy Meal Snoopy Flying Ace toy.
I thought it was fitting for them to have their dogfight on my Iron Cross wheel.
This was a blast! First time I've sniffed glue since I was about 12 years old. Thanks for pulling this together @OddJob and for all of the builders providing killer inspiration.

YO JAKE (MY BLUEZ BRUDDER) CRANK UP SOME ROYAL GUARDSMAN TO GET IN THE RIGHT MOOD FOR ZE DOGFIGHT OF DER BARON UND ZE HOUND!!!

The back of the stool is playing tricks on my eyes. I keep thinking that's a cool wing on the back of the truck, but it needs to be mounted a little flatter. Then I realize (again) that's the back of the stool not a wing on the truck.

Love it, especially the Horshack figure! Is that scale 40 mph, or actual 40?! That's pretty insane-o, Mr Kaw-tair!
Auctially 40 MPH . My other rc cars are 40 plus they mostly have low turn motors and are geared differently. This one may be a little slower.
