Simple and really cute Dennis.

Thanks David...and then my grandson said; "cut the door off Grandpa!" Shouldn't be too hard...PHEW! What a task.

So, 3 generations later and due to being deemed bad influence, Big Ears and Noddy hit the road.

The second image which should have been the easier, simpler version, is 90 layers.

This is where it all started. Pity I had already started manipulating the buggy, so it already has a few starter scars.

Re: Challenge 1126: The Noddy car
I spent the best part of two months in Las Vegas shooting a movie there. Along with golden plumbing, my hotel room was packed with huge bouquets of plastic flowers, the largest of which had a card attached assuring me that their bouquet was refreshed daily!

As far as I am concerned it is one of the most hideous places on earth. But that's me ............ others see it as the ultimate glamorous destination!

One of the hallmarks of Vegas is the stretched limo.

NODDY HITS VEGAS!!

Noddy fulfils his longtime dream to make a splash in Vegas and get a date with Jessica Rabbit.


He has sent his car to the bespoke pimping engineers to have it converted to a stretch and persuaded Lady Penelope's chauffeur, Parker, out of retirement to drive it for him.



I am indebted to Ben whose impeccable little pimped Noddy car set me on this route.

Far, far too much work went into this, but I enjoyed every minute. Do click for the BIG image.

Amazing work Dennis...! 90 layers...wow! If I hit more than 20 layers, I feel like I've been through the wringer.

Thanks Loyd. Some of them are very subtle tweaks. My son always says; "Dad, leave it, its done!" 3 hours later...and then the next day...lol.

Love your Las Vegas version David!

Almost two months in Las Vegas, that's way too long... two days and nights is a very long time there. I've only been twice many years ago, that was on business... thankfully I don't have to go again.

Dennis' first VW entry triggered a memory from the past. I went back in time and recovered my VW entry used in a challenge from October of 2020. Updating it for this Noddy challenge was relatively easy to do.

A very lazy attempt, 1 instruction to Chat GPT.

David, I think you out-pimped me!

I spent a week in Vegas every year for around 10 years at the PMA Photo Show.

The first date with Jane was in Vegas, she moved to Australia and we married exactly 12 months later.

Silly thing to worry about but I forgot to make the rear window transparent.

But it was entirely your entry that got me started on the idea.

In my book that's ten weeks too many!

The first date with Jane was in Vegas, she moved to Australia and we married exactly 12 months later.


Good to hear that romance can grow in such an unromantic place. (Vegas that is, not Australia.)
