Since no one seams to have liked my last Bash posts, I'll adopt a different tack, if I can't inspire neophyte kitbashers anymore, maybe I can at least still irritate some purists...   I bought an old battery toy train set a couple years ago off Ebay called a Big Bird Express, which featured a cheepie battery powered engine, two ore care and 3 plastic Sesame Street charecters riding in them, I repainted the ore cars but the engine remained a tough one to figure what to do with it so it sat around in a box for the last 2 years until I thought about doing one more Mack bash with the last remaining spare chassis I had. I figured an open cab locomotive would be the best doable bash for this lokie. A litttle testing revealed it was a perfect fit, ....and away we go!
 Cab cut and trimmed, interior begun,
 Cab almost complete

 Test figure added Painting underway right now, just basic black. Still a few little trim bits to add... Anyone interested in the Sesame Street figures?  |
