Dr. Cranky Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks, everyone. Donn, I am going to hold off building any more of them until next year when I will build one every month. Crazy? Yes. Fun, I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLes Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Nice job Doc, like mentioned above, would like to see some pics of items in trunk. I find that making some detail items is as much fun as building the car. It's easy to get carried away. 32's are always great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Tom, ideally the amp and guitar would go in the trunk, but instead I put the moon tank in there and scattered some magazines. They help draw the eye in to the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Here's the one I was talking about Doc. Loving the junk in the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Oh yes, lots of that! A-Haw, Haw, Haw, Haw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyn Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What an awesome build to give this new kit a jump start. No one could have been better for the job. Your 32 should give others a glimpse at the potential of this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 As always, Doctor amazes me with his excellent builds! Really like this one, the "Black" looks really good and fits nicely on this one. You pulled this out very fast, Congratulations on that, too. All the "Junk" in trunk and interior, nice ideas all over (For example the Crankshaft as Frame Crossmember etc) make this pop out! Really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatRod Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Not building the same as everybody else is what makes us unique, and your one unique kinda guy Virgil!!! Definitely different, but fun too. Love that amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughn Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Turned out great Doc !! I believe you said this is all in acrylic ? Is there a matt finish that you spray on top of the finished product as you would with gloss finishes on enamsls or lacquers ? Great job !!!

Dr. Cranky Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks once again, everyone. I really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duntov Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Virgil: This is some very nice work.... I think Nato Black and several of the other Tamiya military colors are overlooked and that is really too bad.....IJN green is another great one for a 1950's light green color and matches a lot of stock colors for the period.... I am also going to try Nato Green for a 32 highboy with a Nato Black chassis.....Nato Black is still one of my favorites....

vintagedragfan Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 this build turned out fabulous Doc, I love every thing about it, weathering is spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thank you, Bill and Bill. Yes, Nato black is well represented here in my paint room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Blimey! Your builds really inspire me, man! I showed this to some friends who don't build kits... they thought it was 1:1 I hope that one day, with a lot of practice and a bit of luck, I can build half as well as you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifterdon Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Way COOL build. Love the crank spreader and the work you did on the grill/radiator area. Very Rat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
