In t' hey day o' Barnstormers and Professional Adventurers, shiver me timbers, thar were two bitter rivals for t' title o' t' world's most darin' individual.
Of course t' most well known o' these two men is "T' Great Leslie". Well, blow me down! Dressed all in his trade marked "Good Guy White", me hearties, Leslie stands Truth, shiver me timbers, Justice, Mom, and Apple Pie.
Little is known about his antitheses, me bucko, Professor Fate. Begad! Aye aye! Whenever "T' Great Leslie" performed a feat o' darin' do, ya bilge rat, Professor Fate be always near, attemptin' t' sabotage t' event.
Afterwards t' Professor would try t' outdo what "T' Great Leslie" had done.
Unfortunately, matey, arrr, while his stunts were indeed breathtaking, they never quite worked out as they should.
For example: When Professor Fate was settin' a new world speed record, shiver me timbers, his rocket powered sled became airbourne!
T' story is from t' movie "T' Great Race". Arrr! With Tony Curtis as "T' Great Leslie", Jack Lemon as "Professor Fate" and Peter Falk as "Max" t' evil henchman.
For me Descon entry I'm enterin' me version o' Professor Fates land speeder. I did have t' take a few liberties t' get a model that would fly. Begad! Ahoy! I first had t' remove t' railroad undercarriage. Ya scallywag! Then I added t' fins. Blimey! Arrr! T' shape o' t' fins come from another o' Professor Fates infernal devices. Ya scallywag! Arrr! His sonic torpedo. Begad! Begad! I made t' body longer, also t' help t' stability.
Lastly, ya bilge rat, I could only find one figure (Professor Fate) t' ride t' rocket. Aye aye! T' Professors side kick Max couldn't be found.
