BO15 STIMULUS RATICUS

Love this wheelie pic.

You should do something like this for your final pic, but work up a diorama like scene with some material trailing from the wheels to look like burnout smoke.

And you dressed up and posed like one of your action figures.

Cool [emoji41] build going on here Jake! Looking good.

That tank fill in looks to have worked out very well. Will add that to my stash of tricks for a later build. [emoji106]

Curious what happened to that bright red wheel?

THANKS BUD. I'M GONNA ADD MORE FOAM TO FILL IN SOME HOLES. THEN I'LL SAND IT SOME MORE. I HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING TO COVER THE FOAM FOR PAINTING.
THE RED TIRE I CHIPPED AWAY AT THE PAINT. THE CHROME UNDER THE PAINT COULD SET OFF THE WHEELS. MY LOVE TOLD ME THAT SHE LIKES THE RED WHEEL. I TOLD HER DON'T HOLD YA BREATH.
BUT OF COURSE YOU KNOW IT AIN'T OVER AND NOTHINGS WRITTEN IN STONE.
STAY SAFE AND....GTB!! PEACE

Love it! I design/build scale sets, models and dioramas at Mattel (usually at Barbie or Hot Wheels scale) and work with miniatures almost exclusively, will share some pics at a later date. These are awesome.

I like the orange on the silver Jake, but maybe I'm too late to the table to make that comment!
Looks like you might be changing gears...?!

Not sure if you had started your build yet, but I did a foam insulation panel for my first attempt at the mid panel on my gasser. I found that the smoother wood filler spread nicely and filled in the holes in my foam quite well. And, you can paint over it! It will take some 'troweling' but it might be the ticket for your faux foam tank.

Weird. I'm building a 20/26 build, looks NOWHERE near as nice as yours. Must be the springer. Mine's idiotic.
Readers, note the difference between Matti and a real builder:
