    The Tura Mobile

    Presenting the Tura Mobile!



    OK, we are not actually going to mass produce this to go with the Offical Tura Satana figure, but I wanted to do something special for the promotional photos.

    I found this 60s Barbie car by Irwin at a flea market and did some customization.
    I've got @whiteelephanttoyz Lilith figure filling in for Tura, it works scale wise as Barbie cars are scaled smaller.

    Once the prototype arrives, we'll have some real fun with this car.

              I used a Testors product intended for RC cars. I figure it was close to what I was doing. It was called "Blazing Black" and had a finish built in.

              These cars pop up a lot here and are always like 20 bucks, so you should have good fortune should you imbibe.

                  Looks great. Nothing I like more than custom vehicles and play sets.

                    The Barbie vehicles and the Bratz vehicles work great for mego’s, especially those Bratz cars.

                      I've secretly been replacing your gourmet brush acrylics with rich Krylon crystals for years. I knew sooner or later you'd find your way to an aerosol.

                          Awesome! Cindy's got the orignal Salmon-colored Austin Healy. This is sleek! I may need to make a Batmobile like this!
