Dr. Cranky

Perfect vehicle for the caravan!!! Love it . . . you did a great job working in all the weathering and the details the kit has. Those decals are just right. Congrats!!!

How about a Saints inspired post-apocalyptic vehicle?

Looking good!!!

Cool, man. Yeah, enjoy the kids soon they leave to go away to school or work . . .

I think it's a technique that has a lot of potential. Thank you!

How about some progress, some eye candy before the brain is eaten up by the Super Bowl tomorrow?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you are adapting your own technique there. The texture on the sides of the body is excellent. You should consider using some pastel powders on those tracks to really dirty them up. Good work and progress, buddy. It's looking mean and deadly! Keep it going!

Another beautiful model, buddy!!!

It looks like you are using rattle cans with the salt. Make sure you use a old soft toothbrush to get all that salt off once you get the paint the way you like it. Go, go, go . . . it's looking great.

Cranky loves rust! Long live rust! You are doing a fabulous job so far, chap. Keep it going.

Thank you. Hey, folks, I hope this is a good weekend for getting more progress. Cranky needs to be fed eye candy!!!

Those Zombies sure have a lot of blood . . . Details, details, details . . . Thanks everyone for your comments and for watching!

All right, we are at the end of the build. Zombified, I feel, but happy with the results.

WOW! Is that HO scale? That's perfect, buddy. Nice job. It's a great little model. You should build a little Peanut Butter Lid base for it.

Thanks for the kind words, Brian. Oh man, it looks like you are salting that thing perfectly, most of it on the lower panels. I am anxious to see what kind of results you are going to get. This build is kicking @#$, buddy. Keep it going!

Cool paintjob!

Work and real life get in the way . . . . The progress has really slowed down during these last stages of weathering and detailing. Here's a bit of progress with the pastels and that sheen finally gone . . . and I detailed a bit of the weapons too . . . I also added a few rub-on decals . . . and chipped them off a little . . . I'm very pleased with the way the engine turned out and some of the battle damage to some of the weapons . . . . Stay tuned in for the final round of pictures . . .

While this thread sits idle, the Zombie hordes are taking over the world, and soon they'll be at your workbench eating up all the styrene!

Oh man, I don't know how I missed this one, but it's a WONDERFUL model. Wow, all the details, pure eye candy, buddy. Great job. I look forward to seeing more of your builds. Long live rust!

You know, this is exactly what happened a few years ago when Tommy May started a similar thread at another forum. There were at least 37 folks building some amazing machines. It's happening here again. Keep it going. It's never too late to join the fun.

Oh man, that is SICK!!! That interior is going to be absolutely perfect. Nice going, now keep it going. This build is really something!

Where's the MORE, MORE, MORE?

Fabulous progress, folks. That truck has the perfect look. I'm assuming you are using 1/35 scale tracks for it. It looks just right for the build. Excellent. Keep it going, chaps. The 55 looks mean up on those skyscraping tires . . . More, more, more . . .

Thanks, buddy . . . the most fun I've had building a model in a while, that's for sure . . . but it's a lot of work to keep track of all the parts.
