Rocket Car from Discpicable Me
« on: January 24, 2015, 07:10:09 PM »
I found this toy whilst taking the family on a long overdue vacation to Universal Studios.
It looks to me just about perfect for 28mm minis.
The only bad thing is the right side is full of gaping screw holes. I'm planning on covering those and repainting it for use by another evil mad scientist.




Groo is just a sticker on the inside of the canopy.


The real thang


It reminds me a lot of car/plane from Superman & the Bulleteers.
With some TLC is should be just the thing to terrorize the good guys with.

Great find Tom! Fill the srew holes with putty and glue self adhesive aluminum foil over the whole body - that will make it look like the real thing!
