Dr. Cranky

hot rod and rat rod parts and all the different cool engine parts, in particular pre-wired distributors if he has them. Thanks, Adam. I'm gathering all my stuff and getting it ready for the road.

I think it's a wonderful and different subject. You don't see these too often. Thank you for the wonderful eye candy.

Thank, we'll see what happens. I just hope they are releasing it in white plastic, the new Revell standard. Less flash, etc . . .

Hello, folks, just curious if anyone has more information on this. I am assuming it is not a retool, right? http://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/rmx-4928.htm

Lots of people are saying paint.

I am jealous. What a great set up. Enjoy it and can't wait to see the results that come out of it.

Oh yeah, a build after my own heart! LONG LIVE RUST, and you are making EYEGORE do the funky-rust dance! Go, Alyn, Go!

Love them both. Congrats.

Yes, any progress?

Model Car Garage also has a bunch of great stuff. Niko, wow, wonderful engine.

Can't wait to see more progress, Cruz.

I like where this one is headed. Nice work, please keep it going.

Yasu is one of the best out there . . . his work is going to be featured in a book to be published soon.

Jean-Jacques, amazing work, buddy. Love it. As always you manage to combine the great details of the interior with an amazing paint job and body work. Another winner. Congrats.

Thanks, CRANKYHEADS!!! LONG LIVE STYRENE!

Sorry to hear it, James. I think rehab will bring it back to normal, right? Chin up, man.

Cool! Why didn't I think of it? HA. It's all great discussion. My strengths are always trying to think of something crazy to do to a car. If it requires a few trips to the parts box, even better. Although I am not afraid of scratch-building, I always think of parts that are already made and which I can kitbash. Painting. I love painting with acrylics and I think it's a bigger strength than say painting shiny jobs with House of Kolor and or Auto Air Color. I love Rat Rods for the simple reason that they help me keep the old imagination sharp. I like building models that are always going to look different than anything else. Having said that, I cannot help to love the Post-Apocalypse/Zombie Hunter type of builds too. It's all good. LONG LIVE STYRENE. LONG LIVE RUST!

I like in part because I love old pictures like this. They always make me think of STEAMPUNK!

Thanks for the kind words, Lyle. That's an easy fix, I think.

Wow, Alyn and Marcos, some amazing builds and engines. Cruz, what color is that on the Challenger?

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Remember also not to throw away electronic cables, often times you can find great wire in them.

If they do burn, scrape off the charred surface, and make yourself a Scrapple sandwich!

You guys have taken off with this topic, and it really DOES HELP to put these weaknesses and fears in front of you and look at them square in the eye and says: I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU ONE DAY!

John, I feel like you do. I call it THE POCKET'S BLACK HOLE, where time goes, and goes, and goes when working on a build. I think in my case it's pure OCD. Which is where my idea of Styrene Addiction comes from. Once an idea grabs you you can't stop until you see it through, and it might be two days or two weeks, it don't matter.
