Gentlemen, start your Contraptions...

Looks great.  I think it would have been over the top if you painted them all their national racing colors...

[Alfrik]

Quite a mad collection

[d phipps]

Looks like lots of fun! 

[Vanvlak]

Brilliant, and the race developed in a very interesting way. The tower with the observing top brass is a great touch.

Looks like a load of fun.

Thank you for posting the images.

I like those crazy contraptions you made. Did you post any WIP pics?

[BaronVonJ]

Sorry, no WIP. I did them pre blog.

Must say, a shocking lack of foresight on your part! 

Mila, most of the parts are quite recognizable if you've dealt with the toys, aside with the conversion that is number 4 and the big wheel, but truly impressive part is the paint job. And, I seem to think we've evidence that great painting is no stranger to your family.

Me, I should only paint hairy beasts, as that's how my paint turns out.

I owe a great debt to the failure of the movie Atlantis.

I owe a great debt to the failure of the movie Atlantis.

My impression was that it did 'okay'; we DO owe debts to unreasoned optimism of marketers, for sure. Just wish they'd been so sure that we'd have a larger Tarantula from Wild Wild West, though. 

Oh, and toys and creatures from John Carter of Mars!
