These are great reference pictures for anyone yearning to duplicate such effects in scale. The military builders are doing this with their vehicles all the time now. It's a nice way to bring building variety to the bench.

About Me
Doctor Cranky, Ph. D. in Styrene-ology & Gunk is the proprietor and curator of both the Workshop and the Lab-RAT-ory where lots of fun things happen at the bench and at the experimentation slab. Doctor Cranky is on a life-long quest to find better ways of building, painting, and weathering vehicles for extreme realism and fun!
I started building when I was twelve through about 20, then real life took over. I started back in the hobby when I turned 37, and have not stopped. My favorite model subjects are rat rods, customs, and daily work trucks, although I have a penchant for gunk, rust, junk, and more RUST.
LONG LIVE RUST believes my ever-faithful Lab-RAT-ory assistant EYEGORE. The Lab-RAT-ory CREW is made up of extreme CRANKYHEADS. If you build models, you are a CRANKYHEAD.
And, of course, a STYRENE-ADDICT.
Building models is one of the greatest hobbies and it's fun. I try my best to keep it that way. No more, no less.
I wish you all great happy styrene journeys. Oh, and remember to take your vitamins and boost your energies with a good supply of SCRAPPLE SANDWICHES!
Yours Truly, Doctor Cranky.
OH, and EYEGORE says HI!

Rob, I love it. Between gizmology and scratch-building, you've got yourself a great vehicle in the works. Keep it going, please.

Yes, I am on vacation (much needed!) and I will be back full force in the new season of the CRANKY SHOW, and I will pick this one up right where I left it. Thank you all for being such CRANKYHEADS and CS fans.
