Dr. Cranky

Terry, your post reminds me of the late great Auggie Hiscano too!

Wow, it's very cool. Do you have it shown in another thread over in IN PROGRESS or UNDER GLASS?

Andy, whose build is that?

I think this community extends beyond its virtual boundaries to include folks who begin as fellow builders and friends there and then they meet up at shows, etc . . . the community extends there, making what would normally be a very lonely task into one of the best hobbies on the planet.

Rich, here's one of the many reasons I stay tuned in to this forum. To watch wonderful builders like Donn Yost (and hundreds of others) dish out the amazing styrene eye candy. I use Donn's work not only because he is a master builder, but because, like countless others, I consider him a good friend in this wonderful hobby!

Andy, hang in there it will all return to normal soon. Rich, sorry your thread is suddenly filling up with a little methane, but we'll get it back on track as soon as the thread-wrecking-crew goes off to pester someone else.

LOL, yes, the TZH SQUAD can always use more COWBELL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRzds1HHkas

Great stuff, Darin. You are possessed with some great skills, my friend.

Here you go, Lane: http://www.clean-rite.com/

Folks, once again, I've updated the FOTKI archives with everyone's WIPS. If you don't see yours, remember to post a picture (jpeg, preferable) on here, and I will collect it. http://public.fotki.com/vsuarez666/voodoo-customs-chop-shop/misc/toothless-zombie-hu/ Thank you and keep the good work coming!

I like it, Eelco. I copied the pics for the next Update Video. Thanks.

You know what Doctor Cranky is going to say, right? What crawls out of the swamp makes good eatin'! Great, inspired (unique to boot) build, buddy. Congratulations.

You are hitting a Grand Slam with this one. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub:

LOL! You guys just keep cracking me up. Adding fuel to the fire. Wait until you see my next costume! You can get a glimpse here now:

Also, remember that another AB to check out is the GREX!

Thanks, Ron, you got it right. Basecoat, water, salt, dry, and THEN the top coat! Should work for you, Steven. Best, DC. There will be more progress tomorrow.

Some really gorgeous work, folks. Can't get enough.

Look around Google Image, and also Flickr for inspiration. That's what I did to soak up enough to build this:

Honestly, some of the finest examples of Scratch-Building and Kit-Bashing, I have seen on this forum.

Don't hold back, Shane! Feel free to share the pictures. Darin, those are some beautiful specimens you have in your collection.

So, what I think many of us are saying is that we are STYRENE ADDICTS, and this is where we come to do our rehab!

Harry, I would still drive it, if I got it as a good deal or someone gifted it to me! AND, I would find interesting outfits to wear it while I am driving it.

Yes, Purple Power works for me.

Lane, this is what it looks like:

Wow, Mark, this is a very interesting process. I can't wait to see the results.
