    Well lets see Robert, there were to cool Tom Danials designs, like the Garbage Truck, the Paddy Wagon, the Beer Wagon, the Twin Mill, The Silouette, the Deora, and who can forget, the Red Baron!

     

     

    Yeah but it was the Weird-Ohs that came to mind as I had visions of the big headed bug eyed driver from those models

     

    Yep, the Weird-O's as well, I had forgotten they made plastic models of those as well, I remember when Aurora had made models of the Beatles too!

    Pop the roof, extend the shift lever about 4 feet, and Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth's "Mother's Worry" would feel right at home driving it.

    Didn't make the truck, just the shaders and mats.

    I Just got this at the Daz store. Right out of the box render. Gonna have fun with this one!

    That looks a lot like the model I made when I was young...it had a character called Rat Fink driving it.  I think that was the name.  Maybe Rat Fink was only on the box cover...I can't remember for sure now.  It was in the mid to late 60s.  The tires were cool...they weren't that hard plastic, they were more realistic, had some give.  They had the Thrush decals and the googly eye decals, Hurst decals, checkered flag decals, I think flame decals.  Anyway, it looked a lot like this car.

    That sounds like the one I was remembering.  Big head, wild eyes, goatee.  I still can't remember if it was part of the model or just on the box design.  It did metion Rat Fink, though.  That sticks out in my memory.

    Weird-Oh's is what I was thinking of

    ..Big Daddy Ed Roth hot rods.

    By far the prettiest BMW ever, the 507 designed by Erich Goertz.

    Sorry to hear that, hascart.

  • hacsarthacsart Posts: 2,025

    Thanks... the good news is that the hard drive is intact.. dropped it into an external enclosure and plugged into. Y old netbook... yep.. files are intact, will save me quite a bit of work!

  • Robert FreiseRobert Freise Posts: 4,449

    That's good news anyways 

  • GLWoodardGLWoodard Posts: 3,335

    I had that happen once, took awhile but I got a new PC eventually, and now have gone beyond that one by one!

    Glad to hear it!  Data loss is the worst in these situations.  And loss of applications that can't be replaced easily.

    Now all I need to do is figure out how to recover my Daz stuff to the new system....

    Large thumb drive?  Do you have a wi-fi network?  If so, maybe you can just copy the files...maybe one folder at at time.  Create the folder structure on the destination, then just copy the contents over.  Large thumb drive would make that easier, though.

    I need a set of white lettered tires. I need the kind you used in the Black Impala render above GL. Grand Prix Radial G/Ts. I am doing my 60s Ford Pickup and I used a 1970 F100 which is almost exact. I have these tires on mine in real life. I need to find some wheels like mine too. Mag like with round holes around them. Chrome. But If I could get the tires like those, it would help 100%. Where did you get them?

    That is from the 68 Nova by ADR Speedworks, I'm betting you have the car in your collection somewhere, since DAZ still sells it.

     

    Yes!...I do...thanks.

    Rat Fink!....the big gear shifter ball...hahaha. My spinoff of George Barris models is my own "Gothis Express" sporting a Ford 390 in the back, modeled after his famous 60s "Boot Hill Express" model. One of the biggest selling models of the 60s. He also did the famous "Munster's Coach" and the "Dragula". Both real cars. Here is mine.
