Katen Kyoukotsu! (Just kidding!)

This isn't technically finished, but its almost done. I recently moved to a new home (Yay, HOA! :lol) and I know the customer was beyond tired of waiting to see this guy in action. He's missing a headlight bulb, as well as two panels that will go under his running boards that I made and he needs his Cali License Plate Decal. But setting up a new workshop takes a while (especially when you have as much stuff as I do!)

Anywho, Beachcomber started his life as a Alt Tracks, and was modded with arms and feet from a Alt Skids, as well as door joints from a few Classics figs. The head is a reworked Cybertron Defense Red Alert figure. And, of course, the surfboard is the same from Kiss Players Pervy Prime (Thanks again, Lion!). Transforms into a 37' Street Rod, complete with a trailer to tow his Board. Decals by the AMAZING Boggs6ft7, best metallic decals I've ever used, doncha know!

The paint is Testors Model Masters Metallic Blue, with a base of GW Ice Blue Underneath. The white is GW Skull white mixed with a lil Pearlized Paint.

Yay!! I thought it was the heat that kept you from finishing him up? But you bought a house instead!! hope you built ac in your workspace.

The wait was worth it. Patience is a virtue...hehe.

Nice work, looks like you'll have yourself a pretty top notch collection of re-shells pretty soon Jimmy. Cant wait to see the alt mode pics, I had that '37 model kit as a kid.
