Dr. Cranky

The 41 Willys chassis was modified in order to have the VW cab fit right. The cab went through a four scale inch chop (approx.) and some of the panels reworked so that it would sit slightly lower, wheel wells modified to fit big meaty slicks . . . etc . . .

So Doctor Cranky, who is working on way too many project, goes to the magazine stand and finds the work of Nate Greco in a hot rod magazine, and paging through the selection of Mr. Greco's drawings, he stumbles upon a piece called "What A Drag," and BOOM . . . the Doctor's imagination takes off running . . . By the way, if you want to get an eye-load of great ideas, please check out Mr. Greco's gallery at his website: http://www.disturbingthegrease.com/discography.html In the meantime work has begun on a loosely based project that combines a Hasegawa VW Panel Pick Up and, of course, one of my favorite kit's the John Mazmanian 41 Willy Gasser . . . and the rest is just pure fun and styrene addiction . . . Mind you EYEGORE has been working feverishly through the night at gathering the parts . . .

Long Live Rust! Have fun, Charlie!

Gorgeous. Wow, what a great line up. Zed, that's a beautiful vehicle. I hope JF moves lots of them.

Just in time for Halloween. You are suffering from the old Rust-o-licism or Chuck-i-tis as I like to call it. I keep coming back to eye it some more. A wicked, fun build. When you build something like this, EYEGORE tells me, you add about five years to your life!

Wonderful. Very cool gifts.

I keep coming back and looking this one over. A very nice model indeed.

Beautiful job, Tonio. Another great model in your collection. Man, the driver of that car really likes big Cokes!

This thread is always so much fun!

Wow, beautiful work. Nice graphics and paint too.

LOL! Me too!

Love the stance. It looks just right. Nice work.

Interesting.

What a beauty. Love the color, and the details are excellent. Congrats.

Another beauty, great job. The color and the decals make the model POP.

Love it, you did a great job with it.

Three, fabulous. I like the lime green one . . . keep the eye candy flying.

I don't really have any, except for a couple in of builds in my imagination that I would like to get down on styrene.

You want to avoid frustration in particular if you are a beginner to the airbrush. If things go wrong you are likely to get turned off. My best advice, is save up for a better brush or put it on your holiday wish list.

Wow, you guys are coming up with all sorts of interesting ideas . . . helps keep the imagination sharp.

Have fun and enjoy the eye candy.

I have to confess I had never had those surprises . . . lucky you.

LOL! That's good.

BEAUTIFUL! Congrats.

You are welcome, John . . . the inspiration is high, always.
