Kromedome's new ride

[ctc]

Poor guy can't get a break!

This isn't a real complicated custom; but I'd been meaning to make it for some time. Not sure why I finished it NOW though. It works just like in the comic, thanks to the magic of unstable... er... velcro:

HAW! I was thinking of making the NEW car at some point. Maybe they follow 'Dome around dragracing him all the time. (Funny thing; I DON'T have ANY Fantastic Four Megos.)

In the comic the FF didn't use this one for too long.... five issues maybe?

[Meule]

Hey, that's actually pretty cool Don

[QDOGG]

Don now you must die I'm sending my league of almost mego custom assassins to hunt you down, (if I ever get them finished!). Really man that is totally AWESOME! The attention to detail is incredible. How it seperates is really cool. Man ,poor Khromie is in need of a friend! Once again my brother, AWESOME!!!!!

I like that! I don't have any FF Megos either, but I want to make one of those. Great job! That's really cool!

Pretty cool Don. The FF did use it in many issues. Reed was always up-grading it over the years, but he kept the old flying bathtub in storage and was used as a back-up many times. Looks like you used cardboard? Let your fingers do the walking through the yellow pages. Look up sign suppliers. Ask for a product called CoroPlast. It's corogated plastic, just like corogated cardboard. Comes in many colors and can be painted, also different thickness. You can even get corner connectors for building displays. It's about $15.00 for a 4'x8' sheet that is 1/4'' thick. Great product.

REALLY?!?!?! I just finished the first forty issues of the book, and they ditched it pretty quick for that weird jet fighter variant. I figgered it MUST have come back at some point, since it was such an icon when I was a kid.

Yup! It's used for signs and stuff. I use cardboard 'cos it's cheap and plentiful. If you want to get really detailed there's all sorts of things you can do with it. For heavy things like tanks and dump trucks you can build up a fairly thick paper machie cover over it; sand when dry, urethane, and paint. Gives a good worn look. (I might do that on the destroid.) For stuff like the Fantasticar you can cover it with self-adhesive sheet vynil or self adhesive paper to cover uo the seams and corrugations.

And cardboard stuff can be made fairly durable. You can actually play with these vehicles. (I've already had the Mangler attack the Fantasticar; and the Fantasticar has survived a couple of "flights" down the stairs.) Although I think that corrugated plastic stuff might be useful for the frames on larger customs. (Like a Mego scaled version of the old Kenner Death Star.)

>That looks fantastic!!!

....ouch....
