Dr. Cranky Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) BIGGEST STYRENE ADDICT, driven by yours truly: Doctor Cranky and LITTLE CRANKYHEAD, driven by EYEGORE. Someone's gonna win! When the Gloss hits Jim's eye like a big piece of shine, that's Amore! I'm pretty sure the Dean Martin version goes like that! Ah, this one I though I would never finish, it sat here for way too long and finally thanks to Jim and Donn and all you other GLOSSHEADS, I got enough inspiration to finish it up. Here are some of the results. I still have two pieces to put on this thing, but it's pretty much done.

Dr. Cranky Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 And the last for the road: I will never get tired of building these Revell 41 Willyses kits. I just love them. I think this is my 12th built in the last several years, not to mention all the other builds this kit has given parts to . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Always loved the gassers. Grew up building models and going to Green Valley Dragstrip near Dallas, Texas and a small strip in Tyler, Texas. Yours is an outstanding example of the period. Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry, now I always remove the little catch lip on those. They are just standing up because I have to push them down in place. Stay tuned in for more pictures.

Dr. Cranky Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 All right, my friends, just when you thought you were seeing double, right? LOL. I finished them both and I am pretty happy with myself that I got to finished these two left over from a whole bunch of projects from last year. So here we go, another round of eye candy. Watch out the gloss don't seal your mouth shut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
