Dr. Cranky

Headed in the right direction. I love what you've got so far. Keep it going, chap.

LOL, thanks everyone. Yes, RUST IS KING! in the Lab-RAT-ory!

Ha! Yes, George, maybe EYEGORE is going around impersonating Doctor Cranky! Actually, I just sprayed the base coat on this vehicle, a mixture of HOK Orion Silver and Zennith Gold . . . and some intercoat clear for the taping coming up . . . stay tuned in for pics . . .

Thanks, everyone. Those of you who've never tried a rusty weathered job like this, you should. It will give you a nice break from spraying glossy mavens! LOL. Oh man, I can't remember where the scale chain came from . . . I want to say Walther's and/or Micro Mark, and yes, it's perfect for truck beds like this.

Thanks, Jeff.

LOL, Sean . . . oh man, I don't know, I probably have about 60 models finished, and about 100 in different stages of "started" and another 300 in boxes! One model at a time, that's what EYEGORE says!

I think that kind of top is going to take space away from the canvas. LOL! Maybe the next one . . . we'll see how this thing turns out . . .

Thanks, Roger. I've been wanting to build something like that too. I have another copy of this kit, so I'm sure I will get the bug to build another one very soon.

With the rack, looking ready to ride to any jobsite!

All right, this one is in the bag, as they say . . . I still have to find a whole bunch of stuff to clutter up the bed, but I'm taking a break to do a shiny paint job next . . . hope you enjoyed the journey with this one. Again, the MPC kit builds smooth and it's a subject matter that always gets the creative juices flowing . . . give one a try, you'll love it!

Interesting suggestion. I'll look and see what I got. Thanks. I'm starting the painting process. Stay tuned in.

Showgirls and model cars, now there's a reality TV show hit!

Nice work on that chassis.

Cruz, that looks great, buddy. Another wonderful addition to your collection. Thanks for sharing the eye candy, amigo.

All right, this one is moving to the UNDER GLASS section . . . but here's the last picture, which reminds me of EYEGORE's motto: LONG LIVE RUST!

Final assembly is pretty smooth on this kit, but the interior tub is a little tricky going in, so you have to go very slow . . . Real wood bed boards . . . nothing like it! Love these kinds of details on a clunker like this!

Here we go, almost done now . . . but still adding a few touches here and there . . .

Here's the chassis pretty much done . . . after the lotions, potions, and general gunk!

Thanks, Danno. Here's some more progress. I started to weather the chassis . . . with AK-INTERACTIVE products, in this case adding a few drops of FUEL STAINS to the engine . . .

You did a great job smoothing out that body . . . and the color is perfect. Nice job on all the little details too!

Nice model, that undercarriage is excellent. Great work.

It's all about the process, the fun, and the sharing. Bring it on and don't look back!

This one is going to be very interesting. Nice chopping, keep it going . . .

LOL! Yes, I am going to have to keep EYEGORE on his toes!

Tony, by the time I realized it it was too late, but you are right . . . actually the final results (as you will see shortly) didn't turn out that bad . . . stay tuned in. Thanks for the good eyes!
