new work-Mr. Potatotros?or?
In an attempt to get my head twisted back into painting after finishing a big modeling project, I've been goofing around the last couple of days. So, here are the results of the experiment. I don't know....Mr.Potatotros? the Albatuber?
an Albatater? whatever it is, it has pretzel stick landing gear legs with potato slice wheels...and there's spies in the background.

I think I'm going to refrain from any puns but....where's the prop? Was it eaten/shot off?

This is really cool. I love the design!! Nice work!

Robert,

That's outrageous! Now I want to see you use your incredible modeling skills to create a real 3-D one out of groceries...

mr. potatotros
Any way you slice it....does the fuse look a little mashed to you??? Probably not. So, while I whip up some enthusiasm for Robert here..(and by the way ...i don't think he was fried at the time), I'm going to trundle off to my vegetable department and see what can be pro-duced. After he sells this one it will be all gravy from here on in. And by the way gentleman, don't forget to butter him up a bit so he doesn't feel half-baked.

I have always heard about the Spud Gun but now I know what one looks like. You know back in the day these Spud Gun's were the best thing in the air after all they had an frighting effect on the allies or it was the just there stomachs growling.
