Every self-respecting greedy industrialist should have his own chauffeur driven luxury vehicle. Especially if this greedy industrialist is a Big Cheese - Lawrence Lactavius Limburger.
But, due to the illegal hooligan actions of certain rodent pests, the unfortunate businessman was forced to change his limo extremely often, since it was either destroyed, torn apart, launched into space or something else. Apparently, the car market (and maybe even the automotive industry) could not cope with such frequent requests for a luxury car, so in each series the Cheese had a unique limousine. After all, he could not even afford to buy a batch of familiar cars, because any of his private property, not only movable, but also immovable, was subjected to annihilation.

Main Features:
- Convertible/Explodible Top
- Portable Computer
- Old-School Dashboard
- Authentic Operational Buttons
- Luxury Interior
- Double-Sided Rear Window (Cheese/Tails)

Year Released: 2024
Genres: Animals, Cartoons, Sci-Fi, TV Series

Well, this fact has greatly simplified my work, since I didn't have to repeat this or that vehicle in exact.

Recipe:

Firstly, the car was a sedan, although it was large. Therefore, the original roof (tin like the whole body) was scrapped.
Secondly, the interior was one with the body (just painted on top of the tin). Therefore, it was cut out, but its elements are preserved in their original form as a dashboard and driver's seat. The rest of the interior is made of PP.
My main task was to make sure that Limburger could get into the car and fit into it in a natural position. Therefore, it was decided to make the roof removable.
At first I wanted to make the roof out of tin as well, but then I ran into problems with angles and bends. Then I caught sight of an HDPE detergent canister, which was ideally suited in size.
In the original, the glazing of the car was made of Plexiglass. Due to the fact that I did not find a suitable Plexiglass, and do not have the skills to process it, I decided to use PET with its variations of colors and shapes.
A new problem arose - due to the fact that the rear seats were installed immediately above the wheel arches, it was not possible to lower them. Because of this, the roof turned out to be disproportionately high. To smooth it out a little bit, I made it oblique.
Further, because of the material used, it turned out to be elastic and flexible, in order to strengthen it, I made an inner layer of the second part of the canister - the ceiling. At the same time, it helped to fix the glasses ;).
A mandatory element of the interior is certainly a computer - a squeak of technology for cars of that time, and at the same time a means of communication with the Supreme Authorities.
Since the original car was a militia car, Limburger's Limousine inherited from it "flashing special signals", which, like the dashboard, remained intact.
So that's turned out to be a sort of tribute to the Soviet toy car and my favorite TV series.

Yeti, Mist, thank you for your ratings. There was really a lot of work. It is difficult for me to estimate how much time it took to create this limousine, because I was constantly interrupting and postponing work for a while.

It's awesome indeed! I didn't think that the theme of Biker Mice would be so popular against the background of TMNT, Batman and other Marvel.

Thank you, guys, so much! I really tried my best with this limo, because I adore the Biker Mice series. Therefore, I always try to make customs in this series the coolest and more serious than TMNT .
I have to fantasize with materials every time and learn to work with them anew, because for large products it is difficult for me to find the right material of the right format and quality.
For example, I've been looking for a suitable basis for a limousine for a very long time. All the limousines that I have come across are either larger (Barbie-sized), or vice versa smaller.
So it turns out that if I want a limo, I have to spin .
