    Any love for Mego Mad Monsters????

    In between working my 3 jobs, :o I did get a custom finished.

    Here is another one of my Big Jim custom vans. I took the look of the Mad Monster castle and added wheels. ;D



    Draw bridge folds down on the side 8-)



    Back view with the mini-draw bridge lowered



    Shot with the sliding door opened



    Same side with the door on the van and all the guys hangin' :D



    All the graphics are printed on exterior grade vinyl in my studio, no paper prints. 8-) The figures are CTVT. Classic T-1 Mego Mad Monsters would put this custom over the top. Oh well, I can't have everything.

    All thoughts welcome and thanks for looking.

    Awesome work, Bob! I love your van conversions. Very clever with the drawbridge door too!

      That is a cool conversion... It does seem very "70s" toy-style...

              This really brought a smile to my face. As kooky as it is, I can totally imagine this as a saturday morning cartoon, back in the 70s. The monsters drive around, solve crimes scare people and hilarity ensues.

                        Conversion vans are awesome. Love the drawbridge. Nice job.

                          Thanks everyone for the kind words. I love building these vans, but your comments are icing on the cake.
