Dr. Cranky

LOL, what did you expect, it's possibly the most important project to come out of the Lab-RAT-ory in the last 20 years! And no, it's not another of EYEGORE's recreational plastic surgerys!

The COUNTDOWN IS ON! Less time today than yesterday . . .

CRANKYHEAD = Model Car Builder Gearhead! That's our Good Doctor's definition and he's sticking with it! LOL! You have to remember that Doctor Cranky was born way back in Transylvania in the days of tractors pulled by mules . . . when chickens laid only one egg a day, and cigars cost 5 cents.

Sure thing, and we need someone to play cow clavicle, horse-teeth maracas, and oh, a singer who can reach the high pitches of a castratti, but who doesn't have to go through the motions of becoming one!

Actually, I love the idea of Harry and Doctor Cranky in a band. Unfortunately, the only thing I can do is twang on a rubber band held between my teeth and two fingers . . . puts that banjo playing chap in DELIVERANCE to shame! If we did have a band, it would be called Harry & The Styrene-ettes! because we would have a dancing chorus of long legged ladies!

LOL. No, a CRANK HEAD is a distant cousin of EYEGORE's family, not related to the CRANKYHEADS, those all the Good Doctor's people, which include a line to one Tall-Tale Infamous dude named HOGDOO GRUNDY and another Mr. Wildhare!

"Madness" is Doctor Cranky's middle name. EYEGORE has no middle or last name. He's just EYEGORE and he looks a little like Marty Feldman, Soupy Sales, and Tiny Tim all rolled into one, with sneer.

LOL, it's possible, EYEGORE has been sneaking out to meet up with a lady friend . . . looking for more fire hydrants, etc . . .

Someone asked me if they could continue to build their models while they waited for the announcement, and EYEGORE simply said that the ANNOUNCEMENT might just have an impact on how everyone builds their models! ;)

I love the Revell 41 Willys. You've done a great job. That rolling chassis is excellent. Keep it going, you are almost finished!

A mind? You mean the cranks and the gears? Last time I had a brain scan done, that's all that showed up!

B) It must be all those years of smelling those glue vapors--the are catching up to me. Then again, EYEGORE is 130 in dog years, and he's holding up pretty well! The countdown is on to the big announcement which should happen any day now . . . :o

A special message from Doctor Cranky:

Count Chokula, this one is quickly rising to the top of my favorites list of your builds. The color, the weathering, the details, everything came together nice and sweet, buddy. Keep taking your Cranky Vitamins and keep 'em coming!

My eyes keep popping out of my head and then I have to find them! WOW! True craftsmanship and amazing skills.

DOCTOR CRANKY likes it, no he LOVES it! Great job! Love the general gunking and rusting!

Very clean, smooth build. I love it.

LOL, my running mate is none other than Harry "EYEGORE" Pristovnik, the best Lab-RAT-ory assistant a Mad Styrene Scientist could ever want! :lol:

Thanks, Tony T., the Lab-RAT-ory is A-CRANKING!

Thanks for your votes, CRANKYHEADS! I think EVERYONE will also get the new 1950 Chevy Pick Up truck that's about to hit the stores, if I become Prez, that is!

Lowriders are supposed to be flashy and all-style. I like where this one is headed.

LOL! George that's Doctor Cranky's twin brother, the OTHER Cranky whose first name folks found a little off-putting! :lol:

Jim, that's a great idea. I will add it to the platform, which includes free liquid cement on tap for everyone, a National air hose (up to 60psi) of free air for everyone, and EYEGORE wants to be the Secretary of Scratch-Building. Mrs. Cranky will be the First Lady of Rust!

Other site? What other site? Doctor Cranky has never been to that OTHER site. He runs the Lab-RAT-ory exclusively out MCM and the great model building community here!
