Junk store find

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

Hey I know that i ma not alone in wanting non military cars and well those die cast jobs are nice but pricey and (I find most figures do not sit well in them).

So I hit a junk store and what do I see ????

tah dah!

It was a "bump n go" car it had a a Lovley Beetle sticker on it which I have started removeing. I took it apart and removed the bump n go feature, and cut off the tab on th doors that caused the trunk hood (front cause it's a bug) to open.

Image

In terms of scale it's good, but I will need to remove the firewall so a figure could sit in it.

faily detailed for 6 bucks

Sorry, HERBIE doesn't run very well on alcohol. Have you even seen the movies?

Lindsey of Lohan, my favorite LOTR character...:rotfl:

Besides, I prefer 'The Parent Trap' version. She hadn't yet gone over to the Dark Side...

WHo cares about Lyndsay Lohan
If you do a Herbie than Bruce Campbell or Don Knotts should be the custom figures of choice.

Hells yeah, Bruce or OG Dean would be perfect for Herbie the Looooove bug :twisted:
