Speed Racer series #3 recipes:


Red Blazer Speed (or Happy Doodle as I like to call him) is made from a ReSaurus Grand Prix Speed and an Xmen movie Prof. X,

Mark Meglaton is made from an Inspector Dectector figure and a Captain Terror. I sculpted the head out of clay,

Sparky is made from a series 1 Speed, and last but not least

Snake Oiler is made from an Assassin and a Grand Prix Speed. )

Speed Racer series #4 recipes:

Crash in the Jungle Speed:
I had a Grand Prix Speed's body left over after I took his head to make Snake Oiler, so I dremeled off his shoes, pant legs, and jacket sleeves. Then I needed a head so I used a series one Speed's head and then I painted him.

Trixie:
Even though Trixie looks like the easiest one out of the bunch it was actually very tricky to sculpt her shirt out of Knead-O. We wont talk about how well endowed she is =^)

Kabala:
As Im sure you've all guessed Kabala is really Racer X in disguise. I took a series one Speed helmet and used clay and sculpting putty to turn the visor into Kabala's mask. The shoulder pads are made out of Handi-Tak and I made the straps on his jacket out of vinyl, so besides the helmet he's just a Racer X repaint.

Mr. Cumulous:
From the head down... I took an Inspector Detector figure and dremeled off the brim on his hat and gave him a closer shave. Then I took a glob of this stuff called Knead-O it's a paper based modeling compound that is really weird to work with but it air dries into a neat porcelain finish anyway I molded his mask and boots with the stuff and I think they came out Neat-O. Then I searched high and low to find the perfect jacket for him when it finally dawned on me to just put the Inspectors jacket on backwards. And draw the details on. The rest is just paint and I got the cape from an XMen Movie Magneat-O

And oh yea the fake Mach 5 isnt finished I need to make the wings. and the Mizmo ray gun!
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
