    The jive turkeys of Zebra 3...

    Posing with the iconic "Striped Tomato" I have finally put together reproduction versions of Mego Detectives David Starsky and Ken Hutchinson.

    My wife is as big of a Starsky & Hutch fan as I am and she was pretty excited to learn I was going to make them.

    I have had all the parts to build these guys for awhile but I always had a custom project to complete in front of them. A thread discussing Starsky & Hutch appeared on the forums last week and inspired me to get these guys done before year's end.

    STARSKY:

    HEAD: Original Mego Starsky head picked up off of eBay.
    BODY & CLOTHES: CTVT
    PISTOL: Doc

    HUTCH:

    As always, I thank you all for stopping by and taking a gander at my work.

    Enjoy!

    John

    Ah, the '70s, so much silliness! I read the thread you refer to.

    Very nicely done, and I love the backdrop too.

      Very nice! I was watching some clips of the show the other night after reading the thread somewhere here at the Museum and have you seen David Soul' dance moves?!?
