Looks great Dave. I'm pretty sure I've seen a 5 pointed star punch somewhere. I'll keep an eye open for one next time I do a scout for useful bits.

Tomorrow being St.Patricks Day, could you be after painting one for all the Irish-Americans the "shamrocks-and-stripes", green, white, orange ?

Dave - Your midget looks AWESOME! I never would have thought of using the asterisk - that is a great alternate!

It's too shiny Dave. It needs dirt and dust.

the driver in the T shirt and soup bole helmet look like in the mid 50s a driver named Jud Larson fits the look alike part. good windshield look, and the steering wheel I have seen on an old drivers kit for 1/32 scale item buy ULRICH, they have a 3 spoke and a 4 spoke wheel in there kit. there 2 on ebay now 1/32 is in green card.

Fire suit? We don't need no stinking fire suit!

Dave, not sure even a brand new unraced midget would ever look that pretty. :D

Got a dead Ninco classic? Quartered steering wheel in some of them.

Beautiful (as usual :mad: ), Dave. On your steeing wheel: lately I've been running short of them myself so I started using thin O-rings and gluing in the crossbars. Not perfect but definitely cheaper than 18 bucks!
