During high school I played with clay alot. Then when I was 30 I got into clay for a few years. You should try it, very relaxing. "thumbsup"

Great job on the driver figure.. Very nice work!

Thanks, you should try it to and give your wrestlers to some kid.:ror:

Well after I got his body rough in and sized him up in the truck, he was to darn tall. So I cut of his head and I making a shorter body.

I got a couple things to put on my Trailfinder2.
A seat and some hubs.
Some Iroxs on a set of wildcat beadlocks. I love the look of these wheels.

Here's a picture of before the oven.

After I painted the body ,I tapped a stud in his arms for his hands.

His Hat fit good enough that I don't think I'll have to glue it. So sometimes I can show off his pretty bald head.

I also made him a bobble head, I got the spring in there to the height I wanted and then I cut the brass rod until it got the stiffness I wanted. With out the rod he was drunk and couldn't hardly keep his head up.

Here he is all done and ready to be installed to the cab, but I 'm working on it and that will come later.
Now that I got my Driver done ,I 'll get back on the truck.:ror:

It's some oven bake clay I got at walmart. It stays soft until you bake it. After that you can sand it ,drill it, tap screws in it, it's fun, try it."thumbsup"

I have your pic on my avatar. :ror:

I think it is going to be plenty quick. It makes for a nice low speed in 1st for crawling and if your need the speed you have it in 2nd gear. I'll probly stick with the 35 turn maybe a 40. I will try a 55 turn to see how low 1st would be and how high 2nd will be. I got to find one of 55 turns.

Were you running the IROKS in that last vid? Looks like they clear pretty good if they were.
