That is freaking awesome. I remember different toy and novelty shrunken heads at stores as a kid.

And the Thingmaker, now that is a blast from the past! We called it Creepy Crawlers which I guess was the biggest seller of Thingmakers. Tons of fun, but probably way to dangerous for today's kids :D . That thing would get super hot!!!

I do remember having the Fright Factory set too. The cyclops eyeball was one of my favorites.
Thanks for this trip down memory lane.

Thank you @kingfish254! This was a toy I always asked for but never got. I was born in 74’ and creepy crawlers was my time. 1966 for the fright night set. My wife took me to this great store in Denver that has toys from the 60’s through the 90’s. Stumbled upon these loose molds. I should have bought them all. They were like 6 bucks each.

Yes! The skull next to the eyeball would be a good one to make. The Sculpy tends to be brittle after baking so I may need to cover it in some acrylic to harden it.
 
Cool stuff! We hit our first Estate Sale / garage sale today since the pandemic grabbed hold of the world.
I had to get this vintage blow torch. Not sure how it all works yet, but I'll be playing with it for sure. Might be a good 'campfire lighter' ! :bigsmile:

Those are really cool and you can still use them. Great find!
 
I got a little bit of the “page two flu”, so I did a little bit of work. I glued the fur on to my insert, using spray glue on the body and hot glued the seems. I’m quite happy with how it looks. Hopefully I can head out to one of our bike shops to see if I can find someone to lace a wheel with my 3 speed hub.

Page Two Flu :D , I like that. :D

I like the purple hair tank! It reminds me of the spiky hair food dood.
Great way to attach the tank insert.

Page two will make you sad or make you work. Spending time looking at all the hardware in the hardware store can solve some problems. Lots of different options for fastening things.

Yep, just about every build off, I spend more time in Home Depot than I ever spend in a bike shop.
 
Someone dumped this ratted up mountain bike next to my house a while ago. I let it sit for two weeks and last night it decided that it was mine. Most everything was wrecked and trashed on the bike, though I salvaged the best parts. I even liberated a pair of rat trap pedals from the thing that may end up on this build. A Schwinn seat and Mongoose lean back seat post. Also, a few brake pieces and some freestyle bars that may come in handy some day. Thank you bike part gods!
